Fruit/Veggie Bread
Adapted from "The Best Banana Bread" by Libby on allrecipes.com
I found this recipe and loved the sweet banana taste. I've also made it with applesauce and plum butter. I think it could be used with other fruits and veggies as well (see suggestions below). You may want to add some spices to bring out flavors, such as pumpkin pie spice with pumpkin.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup margarine, softened
1 cup white sugar
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups mashed fruit or vegetable (banana, applesauce, fruit butter, pumpkin, sweet potato, zucchini, etc)
2 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
Directions:
Cream margarine and sugar. Beat in eggs, then fruit. Add dry ingredients, stir just until combined. Pour in greased bread pan.
Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour.

Homemade Magic Shell
You know that chocolate ice cream topping that is really thin and then it goes hard when poured onto ice cream and something about that makes fact is amazing and extra delicious? I tried making some...at home...and it worked!
This recipe comes from "Go Dairy Free", which is somewhat ironic because I drizzled it all over dairy-filled ice cream.
Ingredients:
6 ounces (3/4 cup) semi-sweet chocolate chips (I'm thinking the possibilities are pretty endless though... any kind of chocolate chips, candy bars...go crazy!)
1/4 cup coconut oil
1/4 cup vegetable oil (or grape-seed oil)
Directions:
Melt chocolate on HIGH in 30-seconds interval, stirring between each until chocolate is smooth and creamy, but not scotched. Add coconut oil and vegetable oil. Mix. Heat for 15 seconds in microwave if mixture doesn't combine completely. Drizzle over ice cream. It makes a lot so be sure to have a container to store it in. If shell hardens in bottle it can be melted in microwave again.
Enjoy! I know I am.
