Banana Cinnamon Coffeecake

The original recipe was called Cinnamon Coffee Cake.? I decided to Think With My Taste Buds and change it up a bit.? I had 3 bananas that were ripe and needed to be used, I had some Ricotta cheese that needed to be used and for cinnamon type toppings I prefer brown sugar.? The recipe called for sour cream but I wanted to use up my ricotta which is dryer than sour cream but I thought that adding the bananas and 1/2 cup of water would make up for the moisture that would come from the sour cream.? Plus, I have used ricotta before in cakes and they have always come out moist.? And using the brown sugar instead of regular sugar in my topping worked out perfect.? For changes – add coconut, of course.? Change the spice from cinnamon to allspice, cloves, etc.? All-in-all, this came out perfect and I was able to use up some ingredients that may have gone bad before they were used.? I do think I’ll use a few more nuts in the future making but it’s still good as it is. View the recipe by clicking on Martha’s Recipe Cabinet

Oatmeal Pie – Pulled

This recipe was found by my dear friend Lillian. It’s from a booklet, not date, by Wheeler District Beeline Fashions. I’ve googled the Fashion company and can find nothing so that doesn’t help with the actual date of this recipe. I’ve also googled “Oatmeal Pies.” I’ve found 3-4 but none are quite like this one. So, here is an oldie that is delicious! The pie comes out similar to a pecan pie but not quite but with a slight starchy thickness. The only thing I would add would be more coconut or add the pecans instead of the coconut. Watch for this wonderful pie to appear in Think With Your Taste Buds – Dessets.

Popcorn Cake – Pulled

This recipe came from my wonderful friend Lillian. When making this I found I had no M and M’s but I did have a package of chocolate coated walnuts and I also had some very finely chopped walnuts so I used these instead of the M and M’s and peanuts. Since the walnuts were finely chopped I cut the amount to 1/4 cup. I also used a spring form pan sprayed with non-stick spray instead of the angel food pan. This recipe has so many possibilities. You can throw in some coconut, use almonds (whole or slivers), use salted mixed nuts, add raisins or dried cranberries. Just use your imagination. This is a cake that is very kid friendly so make sure the kids help with this creation. Also, this is a recipe that I’ll be sending to Mary Kennedy, Author of Dead Air. Mary sends goodies to the troops each month and this “Popcorn Cake” should keep very well. This recipe has been pulled and added to the manuscript file for Think With Your Taste Buds – Desserts.

Sweet Rice

When growing up, my mom made what she called rice pudding but was actually what I now call “sweet rice.”? She would use leftover rice, add sugar, butter, evaporated milk and a little vanilla extract.? This would all be put in a boiler and after heating it up you had a really delicious dessert.? She sometimes added a sprinkle of nutmeg or cinnamon or cloves.? If we were lucky she would add a few raisins now and then.? I still make this dish for myself and still love it just as much as I did when I was a kid.? But, last night, while watching a show on the Food Network I came up with an idea for even

Windy Cookies – Pulled

I have a friend called Windy. He has been such a great help to me with my sites that I had to name a cookie after him. This recipe was originally called Cowboy Cookies. But I’ve simplified the recipe by making just a few changes. Windy says he’s the voice of a many so what better cookie than one that has all of the many great things such as coconut, chocolate, nuts and oats? Thank you Windy! BUT , again I have to tell you that I’ve pulled this recipe to be included in Think With Your Taste Buds – Desserts.
