My Grandma's Banana Bread

Ingredients:
3 bananas, mashed
1 1/2 c. white sugar
1/2 c. butter, softened
2 eggs
2 c. flour
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/3 cup sour milk
1/4 tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla extract

Directions:
Preheat oven 350
I peel bananas first and just use a large soup serving spoon and use the back to mash. Any way you want to do it is good. Combine all ingredients in a large bowl; beat well. Pour batter into prepared pan.

Prepared pan: It took me a while of scrubbing bread pans until I learned to put wax paper in the bottom of your bread pan and spray with oil spray. I cut off any extra because once it started smoking. This is a really neat trick for any moist breads like this. After cooking just peel off the wax paper slowly and you won't loose any in the pan like before.

Tip on sour milk: just add 1 tsp. vinegar to the milk in a seperate bowl.

Bake in preheated oven for 60-70 minutes or until toothpick come out clean.

You can get creative by adding nuts, raisins, chocolate chips or anything else you want to throw in the batter. This also makes 1 large loaf or I like to use 2 smaller ones like in the picture. Give one away and let the kids eat the other. (usually 15 minutes after it comes out of the oven).

Pomegranate Syrup

  4 cups pomegranate juice 1/2 cup sugar (I'm trying this with stevia to be more paleo friendly) 1 tablespoon freshly squeeze lemon juice   Place the pomegranate juice, sugar and lemon juice in a 4-quart saucepan set over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has completely dissolved. Once the sugar has dissolved, reduce the heat to medium-low and cook until the mixture has reduced to 1 1/2 cups, approximately 50 minutes. It should be the consistency of syrup. Remove from the heat and allow to cool in the saucepan for 30 minutes. Transfer to a glass jar and allow to cool completely before covering and storing in the refrigerator for up to 6 months.

Biscuits with Sausage Gravy

Ingredients: 1 pound breakfast sausage, hot or mild 1/3 cup all-purpose flour 3 to 4 cups whole milk, more to taste 1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt 2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper, more to taste biscuits, warmed, for serving Directions: With your finger, tear small pieces of sausage and add them in a single layer to a large heavy skillet. Brown the sausage over medium-heat to medium-low. Sprinkle on half the flour and stir so that the sausage soaks it all up, then add more little by little. Stir it around and cook it for another minute or so, then pour in the milk, stirring constantly. Cook the gravy, stirring frequently, until it thickens. (This may take a good 10 to 12 minutes.) Sprinkle in the seasoned salt and pepper and continue until very thick and luscious. If it gets too thick too soon, just splash in another 1/2 cup of milk or more if needed. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Spoon the sausage gravy over the warm biscuits and serve immediately!
