Time to Share... Your Newest Favorite Recipe!

We haven't talked food in a while.  Have you found a delicious new recipe that you could share?

I found this one recently on SmittenKitchen.com, and have already made it a number of times.  It's Pear Bread, a take-off from the old stand-by, Banana Bread, and it's so good.  I've added ginger (sold fresh in a tube from Gourmet Garden) to the recipe, but think that crystallized ginger would be more flavorful.

So how about it, WTIOC-ers, let's hear what you're cooking these days!

Making bread the easy way

My niece Lolô found this recipe in the NY Times and it works a treat! I made two loaves so far, a boring but nice gluten free for me and a better looking regular white one for Peter. It's very satisfying to make delicious bread at home!
