This banana bread recipe with sour cream is just wonderful! I know, you're probably thinking, "Oh no! Another banana bread recipe!" But this one is a little different: the sour cream makes this one so moist it melts in your mouth. This one is great for gift giving and holidays. Loaves freeze well.

Rolo-Filled Chocolate Cookies
A family favorite and always the first to go at bake sales. These cookies are soft and fudgy with warm caramel in the middle. Best served warm.
Crispy Restaurant-Style Hash Browns
These hash brown potatoes will beat restaurant hash browns hands down. I like to cook them very crisp and well done. I usually make one large pan-sized hash brown so I just have to flip once in the hot oil. These potatoes are superior to frozen or restaurant hash browns. I saw a similar recipe online and wanted to have a written copy for the kitchen so I did not have to watch the video each time I made these.
Cannoli
I love cannoli and this recipe was invented after I spent a lot of time looking for the best homemade cannoli shells and filling. Since no two recipes were alike, and since instructions were a bit sketchy, I worked with a friend, Ana, to come up with a good recipe, including some tips that we came up with along the way. Special equipment is needed such as cannoli tubes, a pasta machine, and a pastry bag to help make these cannoli come out just like the ones at Italian restaurants and bakeries. Start with 1/2 cup of confectioners' sugar, and then add more to taste.
