This recipe is from Molly at Orangette. Just the way she described it forced me into making it. It is amazing. There is a distinct possibility that I ate the entire giant loaf BY MYSELF in ONE DAY. I ate it for breakfast, lunch and morning/afternoon snacks. I'm not even sorry either.
Ingredients:
3/4 cup white sugar
2 large eggs
6 tbsp unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups mashed ripe bananas
2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
3/4 tsp soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup well stirred whole milk plain yogurt
1 tsp vanilla
3/4 cup chocolate chips
1/3 cup finely chopped candied ginger
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a 9- by 5-inch loaf pan with butter or cooking spray, and set aside. Melt the butter. In a large mixing bowl combine flour, sugar, baking soda and salt. Add chocolate chips and ginger and set aside. In Medium bowl beat eggs. Add banana, yogurt, butter and vanilla. Pur banana mix into dry ingredients and stir. Pour into loaf pan and bake for 50-60 minutes.
Allow to cool for a few minutes; then remove bread from pan and cool on a wire rack.

Divine Breadsticks
I know the name is goofy, but heck, they ARE pretty great (I can't bring myself to call hardly anything divine.) The kids went CRAZY for these, they really are really d..., nope, I can't do it.
Ingredients:
1-½ cup Warm Water
1 Tablespoon Instant Yeast
2 Tablespoons Sugar
3-½ cups Flour
½ teaspoons Salt
3 Tablespoons Butter, For Melting In The Pan
Mix all ingredients (except melted butter) in a large bowl or electric mixer and knead for three minutes. Let the dough rest for 10 minutes.
Heat oven to 375 degrees. Spread melted butter onto an 11×17-inch baking sheet. Roll out the breadstick dough about 1/4 to 1/2-inch thick and cut into strips with a pizza cutter. Twist slightly if desired and place about 1/2-inch apart on the baking sheet. Sprinkle with garlic salt, herbs of choice (I vary this depending on my mood, but it usually consists of rosemary, basil, or thyme in some form and crushed finely) and parmesan cheese. Cover with greased plastic wrap and let rise for 30 minutes.
Bake for 15-20 minutes at 375 degrees until golden brown.

Chewy Coconut Lime Sugar Cookies
Hmmmm. Let's see. I love coconut. I love lime. I love sugar cookies. Yep, it's official, these cookies are AWESOME!!!!
Ingredients:
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup butter, softened
1 ½ cups white sugar
1 egg
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
zest of one large lime, finely minced
3 tbsp lime juice
½ cup unsweetened toasted coconut
½ cup sugar for rolling cookies
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper. If you haven't already toasted your coconut just put a layer of coconut on a cookie sheet and bake it at 350 degrees for 5-7 minutes. Watch out. It goes from white to burnt really quick if you aren't watching closely.
In a small bowl, stir together flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
Using a mixer, beat together the butter and sugar until smooth and very fluffy.
Beat in egg, vanilla extract, lime juice and lime zest.
Gradually blend in the dry ingredients and toasted coconut.
Roll rounded teaspoonfuls of dough into balls, and roll in sugar. Place on lined cookie sheets about 1 1/2 inches apart. I made mine too big and they ran together. These do spread quite a bit.
Bake 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until lightly browned.
Let stand on cookie sheet two minutes before removing to cool on wire racks.

Pulled Chicken Suiza Sammies
This is so good. It reminds me of the tortas place Mom and Dad took me to last time I went to Phoenix, Los Reyes de la Tortas. To make mine more like their sandwich I sliced an avocado on it. I LOVED this sandwich.
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 small red onion, chopped (of course I skipped this ingredient)
2 cloves garlic, chopped
juice of 1 lime
1 tablespoon honey
1 1/2 cups salsa verde
1/2 cup sour cream
1 rotisserie-style chicken, skin discarded and meat shredded
4 sandwich rolls, split
1 cup shredded monterey jack cheese
Preheat the broiler. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until softened, about 2 minutes. Stir in the lime juice and honey, then stir in the salsa and heat through. Mix in the sour cream. Add sauce a little at a time to your bowl of shredded chicken. YOU MAY NOT NEED ALL THE SAUCE depending on how much shredded chicken you have. Stir in the sauce to coat.
Pile the chicken mixture on the roll bottoms. Top with the cheese and broil to melt. Set the roll tops in place and serve with potato chips like Los Reyes.
