Going Banana Morning Muffins

A lovely way to start the day, and relatively quick to assemble. Especially if you have bananas past their prime that you haven't thrown into the freezer, like was the situation in my kitchen this morning.

Going Banana Morning Muffins
Penzey's One

1 2/3 c bananas, mashed
1/2 c dark brown sugar
1/2 c sugar
3 T butter, melted and cooled
1/4 c milk
6 T yogurt
1 T vanilla extract
2 eggs, lightly beaten
2 c flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp coriander
1/4 tsp allspice
1/4 tsp mace
1/4 tsp nutmeg

Preheat oven to 350. Lightly grease 12 muffin tins.

In medium bowl, blend brown and white sugar with a spoon. Add cooled melted butter and stir until absorbed. Add milk, yogurt, eggs and vanilla. Stir until combined.

Add mashed bananas and stir well. In a separate bowl, combine flour, soda, salt and spices and stir to combine. Add half the dry to the wet and fold until just barely combined. Repeat with remaining dry, again stirring until just barely combined. Do not over-beat.

Pour batter into prepared tin. The tins will be almost completely full - do not panic.

Bake 25-30 minutes. Allow muffins to cool for a few minutes. Run a knife or spatula around the edges gently and remove from pan. Let cool on rack.

We had these muffins for breakfast this morning. They were moist and delicious. That is saying a lot since I depise banana muffins.

Curried Chicken Soup

I made this soup so often in the 1990s, but frankly had forgotten about it. Flipping through this cookbook, I found this recipe and was flooded with memories. When I was in grad school, this soup was my "feeling decadent" food and reminded me of something people might eat after hitting the slopes -- a thing I have never done. A few decades long, and with a lot more experience with cooking, I realize that this is basically a chicken curry with a thin sauce and the rice already in the meal -- but don't let that in any way discourage you! It's delicious as is and is a wonderful take on what is otherwise chicken and rice soup. I have become a fan of using rotisserie chickens, especially during the pandemic. They are so cheap, and I can use the meat in a soup like this on the day-of grocery shopping, and, crunch the bones down for the freezer for making stock in the future. Of course, this soup can be made with a fresh chicken, but I have modified the recipe bel...

Tortellini with Gorgonzola Cream Sauce

I've been making this dish for guests for years. This is, sadly, part two of the dinner-with-no-photographs. I'm sure I'll be making this again soon, at which point I'll update this post with pics. Tortellini with Gorgonzola Cream Sauce The Silver Palate Cookbook 1 1.2 c dry white vermouth 2 1/4 c heavy cream pepper pinch freshly ground nutmeg 2 T salt 1 1/2 lb tortellini 1/2 lb Gorgonzola cheese, crumbled (do not skimp on quality) 1 1/2 T Parmesan, grated Bring vermouth to a boil in a small heavy saucepan and reduce by half. Add heavy cream. Bring to a boil and lower heat to a simmer. Season to taste with pepper and nutmeg. Simmer, uncovered, for 15 minutes, or until reduced by one-third. Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook tortellini until tender. Drain pasta and return to warm pot. Remove cream sauce from the heat. Stir in the cheeses. Pour sauce over the tortellini. Set over medium heat and cook gently, stirring constantly, for 5-8 minutes, o...

Spicy Bulgarian Tomato Dumpling Soup - Domatene Supa

This was very very good. The soup itself was flavorful and would have been enough as a dinner soup. But adding the dumplings converted this soup into an entree. The couscous addition in the batter makes the dumplings pretty foolproof -- no real concern that they'll still be raw because most of the bulk is couscous, which was already cooked. I opted to cook only enough dumplings as we needed that night. We will have to make future dumplings "on demand" as we eat this as leftovers. Spicy Bulgarian Tomato Dumpling Soup - Domatene Supa Sundays at Moosewood Restaurant Soup 1 onion , diced 4 cloves garlic , minced 3 T olive oil 6 c tomatoes , chopped (fresh or canned and drained) 2 tsp chili powder 2 T flour 1 tsp salt 1/2 tsp pepper 4 c stock Dumplings 2 T butter , room temperature 2 eggs , separated 1/4 c couscous 1/4 c boiling water 3/4 c flour 1/4 tsp salt 2 T dill weed , fresh (or 1 tsp dried) 1/3 c milk or stock In medium pot, sa...
