We hav e a winner–Liz (Isaac’s mom), two great cookbooks are coming your way: Candy Construction by Sharon Bowers and Cookie Swap by Sharon’s friend Lauren Chattman! Enjoy!!

Sometimes the best cookbooks aren’t found in bookstores! Our family friend Paula Klein visited a few weeks ago, and I was very honored that she brought me a copy of the cookbook she compiled for her loved ones. She’s an awesome baker, and the book is full of her tried-and-true recipes!

This one is so good that her husband, Roy, says he’s mentioning it on her tombstone. (I think he’s joking!!)

Paula’s Banana Bread (A recipe good enough to be carved in stone!)

1 stick margerine

1 cup sugar

2 eggs

3/4 cup mashed ripe banana

1 tsp. baking soda

1/4 tsp. salt

1 1/4 cup flour

Mix the ingredients in the order they are listed. Put in a greased loaf pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes.
