Rich decadent calorie-laden warm and tasty: this reminds me that on Saturday I made Uncle Mac's banana bread again. Of course for Filou

This is a different recipe for the Oreo cookie dessert "MUD" or "DIRT"
one carton of cool whip
one can of sweetened condensed milk
Oreos - Crushed

Mix together cool whip (I used the bigger container but didn't use it all - your choice) and condensed milk. Fold in Oreos.
Can freeze for a couple hours then it tastes like cookies and cream ice cream. Or just serve it chilled from the Fridge.
yummy!
I made this yesterday for Easter and they practically licked the bowl!

Oh, Uncle Mac (and his succession of cats) would definitely approve of banana bread for Filou!

OOOO, this just reminded me of a great recipe that I have that is similar in the "dump" category. You use pineapple......and it is so good that you just have to sit right down and eat it out of the bowl.........hot! (you can share, of course).

I will post it!

Pickle Wraps
I have been craving these so I fix them as I go

cream cheese
dill pickle spears (might have to slice them in half)
dried beef
onion/garlic powder (optional)
Mix the garlic/onion powder with the cream cheese if desired.
Spread a thin layer of cream cheese on beef, wrap around pickle spear.

Pickle wraps reminded me...

Same recipe, but you can make it with sweet pickles and thin sliced ham. Very tasty, too!

I've got these huge bunches of fresh green asparagus. When you snap the ends off and use the top half of them, then quite a lot are left. I thought I read somewhere that you can use these for something - perhaps boil them and use for soup?

Does anyone know?

[Miss Meow]

Randi, I think you can peel the stalky outer bit off and eat the inner bit (I don't because I hate the stringiness!)

Or slice them into little rounds, and put them into a home made asparagus quiche. Oven baking makes the tough bits nice and yummy


Ooh ooh ooh, you just reminded me! Delia Smith's vegetarian cooking book has a recipe for asparagus spears in a cheese sauce enclosed in pastry parcels - it looks so yummy and I'm busting for asparagus season to try it. Let me know if you want the recipe!

I came here searching for the banana bread recipes this afternoon (I have four very ripe bananas calling my name in the kitchen). It just reminded me of how much fun this thread had been. Now, I just have to decide whether I should use Karen's receipe or Soledad's. Maybe I'll have to do both!!!!!

Yes, please!

Pauline, I think that Miss Meow is moving this week into her new home.

Just in case, so if you don't get her reply immediately.

You were missed at the BBQ. Please plan on next year.

[AmberLee]

Hi Gini,

{{{hugs}}} I felt SO jealous whenever I read a post about the fun you all were having!!! Yes, I need to plan better next year.

I almost called a couple times and talked myself out of it. Usually telling myself it was a bad time to call/distract you all or whatever. Then later someone would post about the fun you were having a such-and-such a time and I'd tell myself, "I could have called, they were up" or whatever. I definately need to talk to myself BETTER in the future. So glad you all had a blast!

Karen, Helen and I made "Uncle Mac's" banana bread last night! OH MY GOSH!!!!! It is delicious!!!!! We will be enjoying a slice for breakfast this morning too!!! YUMMY!!!!! Thanks so much for sharing that gem of a recipe with us! I did not take a picture as my loaf pan was a bit too small and my bread did not look as lovely as Barbara's did!!!
