Carrol Pineapple Bread

I'm going to make this sometime this week, it sound delicious. I've also been hungry for banana nut bread, might have to make a couple loafs of that as well. It's been nice and cool here highs in the 70's during the day and into the mid 50's at night excellent sleeping weather, nice to have the ac off and windows open. I made a carrot cake last night, but I cheated it was a box mix.

Gifts

A few years ago I made homemade zucchini bread, pumpkin bread, and banana nut bread in mini-loaf pans and gave to co-workers as Christmas gifts, and they loved it. I've never head of baking in coffee cans, but it's a interesting idea use the small coffee cans.

How did the sauce and the meatloaf turn out. I've never made homemade spaghetti sauce, I usually buy Ragu and doctor it up. The roasts that I made in the Hamilton Beach roaster came out perfect. I made a vegetable soup with the left overs.

all went well

simmered my sauce all day nice and thick, cakes r to die for just need to do a drizzle for them

I'll have to try that recipe, Ron and spaghetti sauce.

Thanks ... I'll be right over for dinner!

Coffee cans: I still used them when I make brown bread. They are easy to use, actually. After baked or steamed, use your can opener on the bottom to slide them out. Easy.

Jim, homemade spaghetti sauce is really easy, and much better than the store-bought varieties. In our house, cooking is not an exact science, try this:

olive oil
1 large onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 lb. hamburger (or sausage meat, or a combo of both! (see below))
2 large cans tomato puree
1 small can tomato paste
Italian seasoning, salt and pepper, all to taste.

Fry-up the onion. Add the garlic. Add the hamburger. Add the spices. Add the tomato puree and paste. Simmer on LOW for a few hours at least. Let it thicken-up.

NOW:
--Since the 'fridge always has leftovers, Add some left over beef, sausages, chicken, turkey, pork, etc.
--Leftover red wine ... add some in.
--If you like the taste of Bay, add a bay leaf in.
--If you like black olives, slice up a few handfulls and add them
--left over pesto (or basil leaves (dried or fresh)... add it in!

VARIANT: add green olives and ham -- we call this Montepulciano sauce as that's where we first had it, but they used prosciutto instead of ham. I like the boldness of smoked shoulder myself.

See ... way easy!

Thanks Rob

The sauce sounds delicious, I will try it the next time I make spaghetti. I love the flavor of bay leaf, I usually put some on top of my roast. It's only 11:21 and I'm hungry, LOL.
