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!

Chinese Chicken Vegetable Soup
We had a Chinese restaurant that made two soups that I loved how they tasted. When they went out of business, we looked for someone else that made these two soups, without much luck. Knowing all the ingredients that were there, I went to work to make my own recipe for this very tasty soup. Plus I'm a big fan of 'make it tasty, fast and easy' which this is, when I run the veggies through my food processor. Also when I not feel well, this is one soup that has all what help me feel better. I also serve this with steamed rice as a side dish for those who want it as well.
Cottage Dill Bread
A very flavorful cottage cheese bread with dill and onion flavors that is great with any Italian food.
Latvian Honey Cake
This recipe is for one of the most popular Latvian cakes — it's simple and delicious! It requires a little work, but it's definitely worth it. I've made it several times, and my preparation skills are improving each time. Don't get scared away because of the sour cream, it works perfectly with the sweet honey taste. The cake tastes best after it's kept overnight in the refrigerator for the flavors to blend together.
