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!

Copycat Pickle De Gallo
This copycat pickle de gallo is my version of the popular pickle-based pico de gallo, and it is the perfect topping for pulled pork tacos, fish tacos, to serve with barbecued ribs, or as a dip for tortilla chips. This may sound odd, but I like to dress up my cottage cheese with it. The possibilities are endless.
