Flour's Famous Banana Bread

Submitted by Stefanie Moore

This is delish! I've made healthier versions of banana bread but this one is so moist and so good. Makena, who is my pickiest kid, even ate it. I chopped my nuts in my mini food processor to make sure they were small enough that Makena wouldn't notice them. This is one of the things I've made when I'm told I'm "the best cooker ever!" :)


Ingredients

• 1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 cup oil
• 3 1/2 bananas, very ripe, mashed
• 2 tablespoons creme fraiche or sour cream
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2/3 cup walnuts, toasted and chopped

Directions

Set oven to 350 degrees F. Line the bottom of a loaf pan with parchment paper.

Sift together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Beat sugar and eggs with a whisk until light and fluffy. Drizzle in oil. Add mashed bananas, creme fraiche/sour cream, and vanilla. Fold in dry ingredients and nuts. Pour into a lined loaf pan and bake for about 1 hour or until toothpick comes out clean.

Corn Chowder

Submitted by Stefanie Moore

I made this last week using fresh corn and it was great! We're getting a lot of fresh corn in our produce box and it is so good right now! You can increase or reduce the amount of broth and milk that you use depending on how thick you like your chowder. And I probably doubled the amount of bacon in the recipe. :)

Prep: 30 minutes

Cook: 15 minutes

Ingredients

• 6 ears of fresh corn or 3 cups frozen whole kernel corn
• 1/2 cup chopped onion (1 medium)
• 1/2 cup chopped green sweet pepper
• 1 tablespoon cooking oil
• 1 14-ounce can chicken broth
• 1 cup cubed, peeled potato (1 medium)
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1-1/2 cups milk
• 3 slices bacon, crisp-cooked, drained, and crumbled or 2 tablespoons cooked bacon pieces
• 2 tablespoons snipped fresh parsley (optional)

Directions

1. If using fresh corn, use a sharp knife to cut the kernels off the cobs (you should have about 3 cups corn). Set corn aside.

2. In a large saucepan cook onion and sweet pepper in hot oil until onion is tender but not brown. Stir in chicken broth, potato, and corn. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, covered, for 10 to 15 minutes or until vegetables are tender, stirring occasionally.

3. In a small bowl combine flour, salt, and pepper. Stir milk into flour mixture; add to corn mixture in saucepan. Cook and stir until slightly thickened and bubbly. Cook and stir for 1 minute more. Add bacon; heat through. If desired, garnish each serving with parsley.

4. Makes 6 servings (5 1/2 cups)

5. Corn and Crab Chowder: Prepare as above, except omit bacon. In Step 3, after cooking for 1 minute, stir in one 6- or 6-1/2-ounce can crabmeat, drained, flaked, and cartilage removed. Heat through.
