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.

We traded (notoriously dry) chicken breasts for thighs; turned up the seasoning; and tucked the chicken, mushroom, and cream sauce mixture into mini pot pies.

These stuffed peppers with rice and mozzarella are easy to make and freeze well. For lunch, I just cut up the stuffed peppers and mix in some corn before I reheat.
