This is a good page to begin adding individual recipes. For example, Celia could tell us how she makes Paella.

Pamela's Chocolate Chip Banana Bread
(I don’t mean to brag, but everyone seems to think that this is really, really good banana bread.)

3/4 cup of sugar
3/4 cup vegetable oil
2 eggs
3 large very ripe bananas, mashed
2 cups flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
2 tsp. vanilla
1cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Heat oven to 325 degrees.Mix together sugar, oil, and eggs. Add bananas. Stir in the rest of the ingredients. Pour into well-oiled loaf pan. Bake for 60-70 minutes (or until toothpick inserted into center of the bread comes out clean.) Cool at least 10 minutes before sliding out of pan. Let cool completely before slicing. This bread freezes very well. I often make two loaves and freeze one for later.

The Best Hamantashan Recipe
Here is the Hamantashan recipe that everyone likes the best:
(This is the one Rabbi Packman used to give to his Hebrew School class.)

1cup sugar
1 cup oil
2 eggs
2 tsp. honey
3 cups flour
2 tsp. baking powder
fillings

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix oil with sugar using a fork. Add eggs one at a time and add honey. Slowly add flour and baking powder. Mix well with a wooden spoon. When dough becomes difficult to stir, use hands. Dough is ready when a ball can be formed. Take a handful or so of dough and roll until about 1/4 inch thick. Press cup (or whatever small circular object is preferred) into the dough, making circles. Place a small amount of filling in middle of circles. Fold to form a triangular shape. Place in oven and bake for 15 -20 minutes or until golden brown. Makes about 45 Hamantashen.
