So, I've got one banana that's gone brown. I need things to do with it before it goes trashy. I've got whole wheat flour, AP flour, and pretty much all the stuff needed for banana bread, but I'm wondering if anyone has other suggestions.

Or if there are other cooking things you want to talk about, that's cool too.

put it in the blender with some milk

Baked banana is awesome - either just like that or in batter.

Also I love banana pancakes, they're nice with some added cinnamon, if you're into that.

http://www.foodielaura.com/2013/06/banana-and-peanut-butter-milkshake-in.html I like this one

There's this yeast bread, which I've made a few times and is very tasty. I also have a banana bread recipe that's written per-banana, so you can multiply it by the number of bananas you have. For one banana, you'll probably get about a dozen muffins.

1/4 c. softened butter and/or canola oil
1/2 c. brown sugar

1 egg
1 overripe banana
2 Tbsp. milk

1 c. all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. cinnamon*
1/4 tsp. nutmeg*

1/2 c. chocolate chips*
1/2 c. chopped walnuts*

*Optional

1. Preheat oven to 350F and grease pan(s) with butter and coat the insides with cinnamon-sugar, or prepare muffin pan with liners.
2. Cream together sugar and butter/oil.
3. Mash banana; add egg, milk, and banana to sugar mixture.
4. In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon and nutmeg if using.
5. Gradually mix flour mixture into wet ingredients.
6. Stir in chocolate chips and/or walnuts if using.
7. Pour batter into prepared pans and bake: 60-70 minutes for full-sized loaf pans, ~40 minutes for mini-loaf pans, 16-18 minutes for muffins, 12-14 minutes for mini-muffins. Banana bread is done when inserted toothpick comes out clean.

you're amazing. I scoured the internet for hours to find a banana bread recipe that didn't require 3-4 nasty bananas when I usually only have one. this will do nicely and I love making muffins!

Thanks! I remember scouring the internet for banana bread recipes myself a while back, and what I ended up doing was comparing three or four of them and using that information to make up my own, conveniently-modular, recipe. I've made it a bunch of times, with anything from 1 to 4 bananas, so it's well-tested; you may just have to play around with baking times a bit, depending on your oven. I hope you enjoy!

Oh, thanks! Somehow I overlooked this comment before. Seconding the goodness of having a 1-banana recipe.

No problem! And yeah, there's something pretty great about being able to make exactly as much banana bread as you have bananas, rather than having to plan ahead. I hope you enjoy!

IF you only have 1 banana and the banana bread recipe calls for 2, you can instead make it strawberry banana bread (or preseumably a fruit other than strawberries if that's what you have) by just chopping up...1 banana's-worth of strawberries. XD Stuff's delicious.

I've got a couple other bananas, but they're not as ripe as this one.

I'm kind of thinking about this Banana-Carrot breakfast cookie, except I don't have white whole wheat flour, and I don't know how regular whole wheat flour translates into things yet. (I also don't have raisins, but I don't like raisins that much and probably wouldn't use them anyway.) Banana pancakes sound really good too, though.

White whole wheat and regular whole wheat are pretty much nutritionally and functionally identical in use. White whole wheat is just made from a white wheat berry instead of a red one, which has a milder taste. You should be able to substitute regular whole wheat interchangeably; the end result might just taste a little more "whole-wheat-y."

Thanks! I'm a fan of whole-wheat-y, so that shouldn't be a problem for me. :D

Recently I bought what I can best describe as a log of turkey breast. "Turkey breast tenderloin" it was called, and I'm not a fan of it. Part of it is just it's a dijon mustard-marinated thing, but I'm also not digging the texture. My sister makes really good actual turkeys and turkey breasts that feel so very different from this.

Has anyone else tried one of these? It's a Honeysuckle White product.

Edit: :/ So, this was day two with the turkey. It was OK on a salad, but still just leaves me underwhelmed. But I realized tonight that what I really wanted was chicken strips. So, I was heading for the door when I realized that I was just hungry, and maybe if I ate the turkey instead of a majorly unhealthy chicken strip basket, I'd not be hungry and it would be similar enough that the craving would pass.

I think it would have been OK if I'd had hummus. Because then I could have wrapped it up in a tortilla. What I had, was vegetable cream cheese spread. It was not good, I still want chicken strips and tater tots, only now the meal I originally wanted will not only push me over my recommended calories by 20 (which I guess I can work off tonight -- or just let go, because hello, still gonna be under 2,000...barely), but also fat by 20 grams.

And it's got enough grams of carbohydrate for two meals (says my dietitian, who suggested 45 or less for meals, 25 or less for snacks). And while it would not knock me over my carb limit per myfitnesspal's recommendation, if I do the math on my dietitian's numbers, it's over by....fucking 20. I'm beginning to hate that number.

It sounds like some form of pressed turkey roll, which is not at all the same texture as actual turkey breast. It's really simple to roast a turkey breast, though, so that's what I would advise for the next time around. If you don't have a good kitchen to work in, can trade favors with your sister and have her roast one for you. (Especially good if she has an electric knife to use.)

I like to make turkey rolls with flour tortillas--I spread the tortilla with vegetable cream cheese spread, put in the turkey, and then add microgreens, walnuts, and crumbled feta. Or you can do something similar with hummus, walnuts, greens, and sliced or diced veggies--I've used thin slices of bell pepper and cucumber, and sometimes a little diced beet.

Two girls one banana?

...

...I

I'm sorry

But as long as the banana inside is okay (sometimes even all brown skinned bananas are good to eat)... maybe try Bananas Foster? Though I think you might need some liqueur too...
