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!

Korean Fried Chicken Sauce
This is my take on the classic Korean fried chicken sauce. I like to add lots of green onion and garlic, and not cook this quite as long. The result is a sauce with those ingredients a little more in the flavor profile's forefront. Try to find Korean chili flakes and/or paste if you can. I've used them before and the flavor is great (and obviously more authentic), but if you can't, any hot chili flakes or paste will work.
Chipotle Pork Naanwich
I created this while trying to use up leftovers. It is made with pork cutlets, but any meat would be good. Use any toppings you would like.
Tuscan Chicken Soup
This Tuscan chicken soup features a boneless chicken breast in creamy broth with sun-dried tomatoes and spinach. It's especially comforting on blustery winter days.
