    I love peanut butter and banana sandwiches, fried bananas, frozen bananas mashed up mixed with peanut butter (like ice cream!) frozen mashed banana + frozen mashed strawberries, mixed with a little cream or half and half, and a little sugar also makes a lovely ice cream type dessert. Vanilla pudding with sliced bananas and vanilla wafers. Banana chips. I'm all about the sweet banana... OH, and that bean soup looked SO yummy! Also, adding cooked lentils to your hamburger sloppy joe mix can use some up, but I think you have already done something similar?

    What an eclectic mix of recipes this week! Everything from classic to ethnic. A true trip around the work, right in your own kitchen. And you even took the family along for the ride. Love it!!! One of my easiest meals is to make flat breads. I usually make them with naan or pita bread, BBQ or Buffalo wing sauce (mixed with ranch dressing, to cut the heat) as the base sauce, grated cheese (whatever i have on hand, like cheddar, havarti mozzarella, etc) and whatever else suites our fancy that we have hanging around. Possible toppings include leftover cooked chicken, feta cheese, bacon bits, ham, leftover steak, spinch, onion, peppers, mushrooms, tomatoes, pinapple, etc. Mix and match to your preference! Great for kids or picky eaters (like me) as each flat bread can easily be topped with what each person likes.

    I add ground chicken or turkey to a bean chili I make. Mix ground chicken with some refried beans, onions and garlic for a burrito wrap with some fresh tomatoes and sour cream to dip them in. . Ground chicken meatballs.....add ground chicken, Italian seasoned breadcrumbs, 1 egg, ketchup, splash of milk, finely diced green pepper & onion, shredded Parmesan, salt, pepper and garlic powder. Brown the meatballs and then place in a sauce pan of tomato sauce and simmer til heated through. Serve over some pasta and a sprinkle of Parmesan.

    It amazes me how much your food costs in Canada. I'm in the states and yes the prices are rising, but I'm still able to shop for whole foods a lot cheaper. I just picked up 2 three pound bags of onions for $3. I grow a ton of celery in our garden and slice it up and freeze or can it so I have it all winter long. Love making celery soup. I found a super easy and delicious celery soup recipe that we love. 1 bunch of celery, 2 small onions, 6 or so garlic cloves, 2 carrots, 2 white potatoes, dill, pepper, salt, butter and 4 cups of chicken bone broth. Dice the veggies and cook everything down till soft. Once all cooked use an immersion blender or blender to cream everything til smooth. I freeze half of it while we eat on the remainder with grilled sandwiches or a side with dinner or lunch. If you want it creamier add a dollop of sour cream.

    • @JessicaWanders
      @JessicaWanders 6 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Yes, for a lot of things, even with the exchange prices are higher but you do have to factor in the exchange a bit. $3USD =$4.20CAD so that would still be a great deal here for 6lbs onions :) Your soup sounds lovely! It's always good to pick up celery and freeze it! It can get so expensive in the winter!

  • @mustwereallydothis
    @mustwereallydothis 8 วันที่ผ่านมา

    I know this message is super late, but if you need to use up salad dressing, just use them as a marinade

      Great deal! If I saw it that cheap I probably would have bought a lot and chopped and frozen it!

    Onions help with so much in cooking! I find with onions and carrots (garlic or garlic powder) life is more delicious.

      I have to agree! My onions didn’t do very well in the garden this year so it was time to grab some! I think I put them in almost every dinner! 🥘

    Banana nut bread is a given. Dip the banana in peanut butter for a great snack. . I love banana sandwiches. Banana sandwiches & cucumber sandwiches are my favorite sandwiches. Banana pudding was always great. Haven’t had it in years. My grandmother used to make it every Sunday when I was a kid.

    Savory bananas. My grandmother (and mum) makes something they call peruvian chicken. I not sure it is authentic peruvian, but it is delicious. You put chicken pieces with the skin in an oven safe tray (can be a whole chicken in pieces or chicken thighs, but it should be bone in), you can season them with salt, garlic and paprika/herbs you add broth in the bottom of the pan, no more than 1/3 of the chicken should be submerged (top up with water if it runs dry in the cooking process. Add bacon pieces and a couple of leeks in rounds and the juice of one lemon. You cook it on 200 c for about 30 minutes and THEN you put BANANAS halves and slice in 2 on top (4-6 bananas, depending on how much chicken you made). Then leave it another 20 minutes. If your chicken is larger do 40+20 minutes. Serve with rice and put the broth from the tray on your rice, it is delicious. I do expect whoever gave them this recipe had something with plantains in Peru, maybe. But I do love the bananas (I didn't when I was a child). Keep up the good work. I love seeing what you come up with 😊

    • @JessicaWanders
      @JessicaWanders 11 วันที่ผ่านมา

      That sounds interesting! Plantains might have been the original but probably well adapted with bananas! I’ll have to keep this idea in mind 🤔 Thanks for the suggestion!

      I remember it that way from when I was a child. I thought I’d try the fried idea lol I think that the addition of butter certainly adds something to it!
