Total Time: 1 hr 10 mins Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 1 hr

Ingredients

• Servings: 6
• 1 cup sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups flour
• 1/2 cup shortening (you can also substutite with oil and will not harm the loaf.)
• 2 eggs
• 1 1/2 cups milk
• 1/2 cup nuts (walnut is our favorite but use what you have or like)
• 1 banana (mashed)

Recipe

• 1 in a large bowl mix together all dry ingredients well.
• 2 in a seperate bowl mix eggs, shortening (or the oil) and banana until well combined.
• 3 add the wet mixture to the dry mixture until well combined with a hand mixer.
• 4 add the nuts and mix on low to medium speed for about a minute or until the nuts are evenly mixed into the batter.
• 5 spray or grease a 9x5x3 loaf pan and bake in a pre-heated oven at 350 for about an hour --
• 6 we have always set the kitchen timer to 45 minutes and have checked the loaf with a clean butter knife in the center of the loaf. if it comes out clean it's done. you do not want the loaf to burn, at this point you will check the loaf every 5 minutes after that. it should have a nice golden brown color on the top and the house should smell wonderful. when it comes out of the oven give it about 20 minutes or so to cool and very carefully slide a butter knife or spatula down all of the sides of the loaf pan, turn upside down and it should fall out smoothly. slice immediately -- we like to spread softened butter and enjoy with a cold glass of milk.

15 Minute Ricotta Gnocchi

Total Time: 20 mins Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 5 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 2
• 1 cup ricotta cheese (whole milk or part skim)
• 1 egg yolk (medium or large)
• 1/4-1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
• 1 ounce parmesan cheese (about 1/3 cup) or 1 ounce pecorino cheese, grated (about 1/3 cup)
• 1/2-2/3 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for the board

Recipe

• 1 drain any liquid from the ricotta container. combine the cheese in a large bowl with egg yolk, salt and grated cheese, mixing well to combine. add flour and stir just until combined; it should still be quite sticky. the more flour you add, the denser the gnocchi will be, and you are aiming for light, fluffy pillows!
• 2 bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
• 3 meanwhile, flour the board heavily. scoop a large spoonful of dough onto the board and flour the top heavily. flour your hands and roll the dough into a log about the width of one finger. dip a sharp knife into flour, and cut into pieces the size of the last joint of your thumb (about 3/4"). transfer to a parchment-lined, flour-dusted baking sheet. repeat until all the gnocchi are formed. work quickly so they don't get soggy and stick.
• 4 turn the heat down under the pot until the water bubbles gently. add the gnocchi and stir once so they don't stick to the bottom. cook until the float to the surface, 2-4 minutes. remove with a skimmer or spider and serve at once with a light tomato sauce, browned butter with sage, or any kind of pesto.
