Beef Stew

My mother in law calls this Primary Stew because she used to make this on Wednesday nights when church primary was during the week. It's raining  and cold out and just seems like a warm beef stew kind of a day!!

Throw all your ingredients into a crock pot and cook on low for 7-8 hours. Can it be any easier? Don't forget the lemon pepper it makes the soup

2-3 Potatoes

Coconut Pineapple Banana Bread

I have been in a Hawaii mood.  I have been feeling the pull to travel to warmer weather.  On our last trip to Hawaii.  I had a loaf of wonderful Coconut Pineapple Macadamia nut Bread.  I have been trying to replicate it ever since.  This is pretty close but not quite there. I forgot to buy the 

Macadamia Nuts.... Oops!

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.  Lightly grease 

2 ~ 9 x 5 bread pans

In a mixing bowl, combine the oil, sugar eggs and vanilla

Stir in the smashed banana's, coconut milk, pineapple and shredded coconut.

In a separate bowl combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.  Add the dry ingredients to the wet a little at a time.

 Pour batter into baking pans and top with a little sprinkle of shredded coconut.

Bake in a 350 degree oven for 75 minutes,  let cool completely.  

*To check if the loafs are completely cooked.  Insert a knife into the center.  If it comes out clean it is completely cooked.

Aloha!
