This is a very moist banana bread with lots of banana flavor. There is a bit of spice for those who like a bit of "extra" in their banana bread. This recipe still has a big banana flavor with scrumptious spicy notes to make it really special.

Cranberry Pomegranate Sauce
This is a delicious fruit-filled version of cranberry sauce. The pomegranate is cooked separately to facilitate seed removal, then both parts are combined to finish cooking. It's wonderful as an accompaniment for poultry, and can be made into a lovely trifle-type dessert with vanilla pudding and pound cake.

Meatloaf that Doesn't Crumble
I have tried and tried meatloaf recipes they all fall apart before you get them out of the pan. This meatloaf is very good and sticks together to be served. Leftover meatloaf makes wonderful sandwiches with mayonnaise.
