Tangled Yarns

So I made my muffins, a day late, but done nonetheless!  I couldn't find the recipe I was thinking about, but I found another one that looked good.  It's actually a recipe for a loaf, but I have a wonky oven and have never had much success making loaves.  It seems to be at least 25 degrees off and has a really really hot spot, so I never know how long to bake things, and loaves are just one of those things I can't seem to make good guesses on.  Anyway, here is my finished product!

I got the recipe from allrecipes.com.  After reading a bunch of the comments with the recipe, I altered it to increase the peanut butter to 1 cup instead of 1/2 and used 4 bananas instead of 2.  The main comment I based my changes on suggested baking them for 25 minutes at the same temperature as with the loaf directions, but with my oven, I had it around 25 degrees lower and they were ready in about 18 minutes.  Oh I also added some chocolate chips instead of walnuts.  I found the flavors on the mild side, and not overly sweet, but they are tasty!  I used organic peanut butter, so had I used regular peanut butter the taste would probably be a bit stronger and maybe a little sweeter.  All in all I'm happy with them and will probably make them again!

I just put supper in the oven and thought I'd share the recipe!  It comes to us courtesy of Stove Top Stuffing!I originally found the recipe in a magazine ad, but there's also a version on the back of the box. 

1. Layer 2 cups of chopped meat (I used chicken) and frozen veggies (about a handful per person - I used corn and threw on some diced potato this time) in a medium baking dish. 

2. Mix 1 can of cream of mushroom soup with a 1/2 can of milk, and pour on top. (I've also used cream of chicken soup before)

3. Mix one pouch of Stove Top stuffing mix with 1 cup of water and let it sit for a few minutes, til the water gets absorbed.  Spoon it evenly over the veggies.

4. Bake at 375 degrees F for 35 minutes.

Voila! How easy is that. It's a great meal on a cold winter night...but it will also do on this unseasonably warm September evening!
