Using old bananas

Thawed bananas work great when making banana bread.

Don’t throw out black bananas. Freeze them and then use them when making banana bread.

My recipe is on the YouTube video.

Until next time, that’s all there is from Sunnybook Farm.

Two-ingredient chocolate peanut butter fudge

This is my second video using peanut butter and icing to make a quick fudge.

It made a good fudge, but not as chocolatey as I had hoped. Still a fast treat to share with others.

There’s no way I can eat all the treats I’ve made during this holiday season. I’ll be sending family home with some for the new year.

Until next time, that’s all there is from Sunnybook Farm.

Extremely easy peanut butter fudge

Only 2 ingredients: peanut butter and icing.

Melt together the two ingredients in a microwave-safe bowl in the microwave until smooth, mix, and pour into an 8×8 pan, and then refrigerate. When set, cut into pieces and put in a container in the refrigerator.

An easy fudge you can share with friends during the holiday season.

Next time, I may try it with chocolate frosting.

Quick soup for a rainy day

I can’t just have a can of soup. I always doctor it one way or another. Here’s what I did yesterday.

This is what I mixed together.

Ingredients included: 1 can of cream of chicken soup, plus 1 can of water, 1 6.5-ounce can of mushrooms, 1 small zucchini, a handful of instant brown rice, and a half cup of chopped chicken. Microwave until the rice is cooked through. If too thick, add more water.

I prefer homemade soup, but in a pinch, doctoring a can of soup will do.

Until next time, that’s all there is from Sunnybook Farm.

Strawberry-rhubarb sauce recipe

The only thing I measured was the 2 cups of sugar.

A large bowl of cut or processed rhubarb, 1/2 cup water, 2 cups sugar, strawberries, and one package of strawberry Jell-O.

Bring to a boil and then cut back the heat and simmer for twenty minutes. My strawberries didn’t break down so I used a wand to blend.

I put the sauce into pint jars. The cooled jars will go into my freezer.

Enjoy on toast or even on ice cream.

Rhubarb isn’t for everyone, but if you enjoy it, this recipe is for you.

Until next time, that’s all there is from Sunnybook Farm.
