Banana Bread Muffins

I had some old bananas on the counter and I needed to make something. I didn't feel like banana bread so decided to try to make some muffins. These are the perfect individual size and tasted great too! With only 2 tbsp of sugar these are not so bad for you! I added chocolate chips into mine but you can substitute that out for whatever you would like. 

 Ingredients:
1 brown banana
1 Egg
1/2 cup of milk
2 Tbsp sugar
2 Tbsp canola oil
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp Baking powder
1 cup flour
1/4 cup choc chips (or blueberries/nuts/etc) 

 Directions:
1) Heat oven to 425. Add flour and the banana to the mixing bowl and mash the banana into the flour with a fork.

 2) Add the rest of the ingredients (besides the choc chips) and mix with a mixer until incorporated. 
3) Fold in the chocolate chips with a spoon or spatula
4) Bake in muffin tins for 16-19 minutes

Tiger Stripe Brownies

These take me way back to my childhood when I used to get together with my best friends and we would make these, watch movies, then scarf them all down.  For me there is nothing better than a warm dessert topped with ice cream. And these hit the spot. A warm brownie with swirls of peanut butter. I've been making these for over 10 years, so you know they must be good!

Curry Chicken in the Crockpot

Image
I love Indian food. I have tried numerous recipes at home trying to replicate the wonderful flavors that come from the authentic restaurants - no such luck. This recipe comes pretty darn close though. I think the simmering in the crock pot helps bring the spices out and hide the tomato taste. I like it spicy so I added cayenne and red pepper flakes - you can always omit these or lower these if you don't want the spice. Ingredients: 1.5 lb chicken, diced 1 can (28 oz) diced tomatoes 1 large onion, diced (or 2 small) 3 garlic cloves 3 TBS butter 2 TBS ginger 1 cup chicken broth 1/4 cup peanut butter (or almond butter) 1/4 cup diced cilantro 1 cup sour cream Spice mix: 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes 1 tsp salt 1/2 tsp pepper 2 TBS brown sugar 1 tsp ground coriander 1 tsp turmeric 3/4 tsp cinnamon 1 tsp ground cumin 1/2 tsp garam marsala 2 tsp chili powder Directions: 1. In slow cooker, combine tomatoes, onions, garlic, butter, ginger, and ...
