When making this, I doubled the recipe for 2 of us & we had a very nice breakfast beverage! Used 2% low-fat milk &, except when making banana bread, we really don't care for the bananas being overly ripe, so . . . Still, with the seasonings used, this was wonderfully tasty! Thanks for sharing the recipe! [Made & reviewed in Healthy Choices]

I am originally from Minneapolis, Minnesota and moved to Ohio in 1978. It was quite a culture shock going from the city to living next to the Amish. I spend most of my time cooking, cleaning and caring for my four kids. I have abandoned cookbooks and now cook from favorite, wilted recipe pages and the internet. I fell in love with my Italian family recipes (Scavo, Rotella, Scalzo, Micelli, Grande, Gigliotti) and my Mom's homecooked meals.
