Banana bread, peanut butter cookies, and the end of LOST

Banana bread with chocolate chips based on this recipe from Simply Recipes.
I used two previously frozen bananas, two fresh bananas, and substituted 1/2 cup high protein flour mix, 1 cup all purpose flour mix, and 1/2 Tbsp (1 1/2 tsp.) of xanthan gum for the wheat flour to make it gluten free.  The flour blends I use are from an old issue of Living Without.  I added 1/2 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips as well.

Peanut butter cookies made from 1 cup peanut butter, 1 cup sugar, and 1 egg.

While watching LOST we had Trader Joe's chicken lime burgers with mayo, tomato, red onion.  I had mine on a Gillian's gluten free roll, which was really good.  The Big B picked them up for me at the grocery store!  (I had 1/2 a roll the next day for lunch too, topped with egg salad.)  The bun-burger combo, however, was kinda bland.  It definitely lacked for something zesty.  Like queso (Rotel dip to some of you).  Thankfully, that was our side dish for dinner!

Snow Day!!

I love waking up to snow! In celebration of the snow, we started the day with chocolate chip pancakes.

Some of us had peanut butter chocolate chip pancakes:

Yum!

After a long, busy day of chores, we had a quick and delicious supper of "Wisconsin Mac & Cheese" from the Bon Appetit recipe-a-day calendar. Trader Joe's frozen green beans on the side. Delicious! And probably dangerous to have a 10-minute stovetop mac & cheese recipe in the arsenal.

Made with Sam Mills corn pasta (elbow macaroni), gluten free all-purpose flour (no xanthan gum), and 2% milk.
