Party Recipes

Here are the two recipes I promised to post. First Julie's delicious Banana Bread...I hope I remember all of it. Julie- leave comments if I get it wrong.
Banana Bread
4 smashed bananas
1/2 c (? sorry Steve didn't say what the 1/2 was!) soft butter- Julie melts this
2 eggs
3 TB baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
2 c. flour
1 c. brown sugar
1/2 c crushed walnuts Julie uses lots of these!
Mix the nuts and sugar together and put half of it on top.
1 tsp vanilla
Mix it up and bake 350* for 1 hour.

Oriental Salad
Originally from my bestest friend-Lesley. this recipe can also be seen at Pass The Salt on the links in my blog.
2 pkg coleslaw
8 tsp. sesame seeds toasted (I just poured them in the pan, who measures?)
1 c. almonds toasted (I used cashews and added a little more)
4 green onions sliced
1 pkg. Ramen noodles, crushed no seasoning packet

Dressing:
3 T. Rice vinegar
1/2 c. vegetable oil
1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1/4 c. sugar
I doubled this because I had two bags of coleslaw. The original recipe calls for one bag.
Loved seeing everyone. We definitely don't get together enough.
