I am a connoisseur of banana bread. I grew up on my grandmother's which I am pretty sure came out of the classic Better Homes and Gardens® cookbook. I met a wonderful Hawaiian lady named Nalani at an event here in Maui. She was selling her banana bread. After taking the first bite I knew this was something special. She was so happy with how much I loved her banana bread she happily shared the recipe. Best served warm and fresh from the oven. Aloha!

Easter Spicy Deviled Eggs
A delicious mix with a hint of garlic.
Gluten-Free Pizza Crust or Flatbread
This gluten-free flatbread recipe is for a crust that can be used for pizza or flatbreads. After two years of cutting gluten out of my diet, this is the best pizza crust recipe I have — based on trial and error. My kids say this is better than our homemade wheat flour crusts.
Slow Cooker Sweet Potato Casserole with Pecan Topping
My niece is allergic to cinnamon, so I came up with this variation of a classic sweet potato casserole with pecans recipe. This recipe is for a 3-quart slow cooker, but it can be easily doubled for a 6-quart slow cooker. I prefer to use fresh mashed sweet potatoes as it makes the recipe less sweet, but canned will also work.
