Cookbook Tuesdays - Everyday Banana Recipes

How could I pass up this little gem of baking goodness? "Everyday Banana Recipes" was compliments of the Banana Distributing Co. New Orleans back in 1927. Now, bananas are okay in my book, but in this book, it just isn't so. Take a gander.........

What is up with the prunes people? Did they put prunes in everything way back when?





I bet you are wondering how to build a better body and conserve money all at the same time. Well, I have the answer for you right here.........





How can you start out by say that a banana is a fruit and end up telling me you can cook it and it becomes a vegetable? Curious minds want to know!









When I first saw this photo I couldn't tell what those large cones in the middle of the plates were. It is a powdered sugar cone! Umm, I am just going to take a stab at this and say that a HUGE cone of powdered sugar is not part of a healthy diet.








And this is where the cookbook took a turn for the worst........








And then I saw this and even though they gave a thorough description of how to take the fruit out of a banana peel this still sounds d-i-s-g-u-s-t-i-n-g.




This concludes our "Everyday Banana Recipes" lesson for today. See ya'all next week!
