Banana-yogurt muffins

These are adapted from Banana-walnut bread from the Bon Appetit Cookbook edited by Barbara Fairchild, but I wanted muffins and can't be bothered with buttermilk and shortening. The yogurt makes them moist and chewy.

Makes 24 muffins. No special equipment required. Contains egg, dairy and flour.

Coconut Curried Lentils

I've been introducing more vegetarian nights into our weekly menus to save some money. I found this coconut lentil soup recipe and modified it based on my tastes and what I had on hand. The result was a yummy, thick curry that my carnivore husband had to have seconds and thirds of. It gets even better after sitting in the 'fridge overnight.

We ate this with some curried collard greens and gluten-free naan. I highly recommend the yummy bread for dipping, but it's pretty good all by itself too. We got four large servings out of this recipe, enough for dinner last night and for both of us to have it for lunch the next day.

Apple Yogurt Cake with a Cinnamon Streak

The original recipe is here. I have halved the amount and made a few minor changes to the instructions.

This is a recipe that takes the French yogurt cake idea and makes it with a fairly standard North American coffee cake configuration. The result is a not too sweet, firm-textured but moist and delicate cake that you can eat for breakfast, or any other time. You can grab a hunk of this and eat on the go or, you know, use a plate and possibly even a fork if you have the time.
