I messed up big time on my first time at all this 'sharing'...but...Oh well.
Bloggers from all over are sharing their homemade projects. The one I shared is my Eggplant Salsa...but of course when it asked for 'Name'....I put MY NAME and not the name of the project. DUH!

Banana Muffins
Ohhh my goodness. Making muffins could not be any easier than using this recipe. It said it was a banana cake recipe but I much prefer muffins. You could make it into a cake if you wanted to.
2 bananas mashed
1 cup Self Raising Flour
1 cup Sugar
1 cup dessicated coconut (flaked is fine)
1 cup milk
1 cup choc chips (optional)
Mix it all together. Pour mixture into well sprayed muffin tin (or use paddy papers). Cook in 180 degree Celsius oven (350 degree Fahrenheit) until cooked through.
You can tell if they are cooked by inserting a toothpick in the middle and having it come out clean.
NOTE: Before placing in the oven you can sprinkle with sugar.

Chocolate Chip Cookies
The following recipe is a family favourite. The recipe makes a large batch...the amount actually depends on the size of the cookies you make.
I use a small ice cream scoop (close to the size of a melon baller). I spray the inside with cooking spray so the dough doesn't stick (I have to re-spray from time to time). Using the scoop keeps the cookies uniform shape and makes them very pretty. I have been known to put the 'balls' of dough on a cookie sheet (covered with baking paper) then into the freezer. When the dough is frozen I then transfer it to a zip lock freezer bag and then back into the freezer. Now I can pull out however many cookies I want to make at a time and have some on hand for next time. Of course my kids loved to just eat the cookie dough straight from the freezer so they didn't last very long there either.
The cookies spread so leave about 1 1/2 inches between them. If you have any questions go ahead and ask in the comment box.
Chocolate Chip Cookies
Cream together:
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 cups brown sugar
1 lb margarine (500g)
3 eggs
1 1/2 TBL vanilla
Add:
6 cups Plain flour
1 1/2 tsp baking SODA (bi-carb soda)
1 1/2 tsp salt
Mix well. Then add packet of choc chips...white or brown. White goes well with chopped macadamia nuts.
(At this point I cover the dough and place it in the fridge for a few hours just to firm it up a bit. It's easier to work with when it's not 'gooey'.)
Cook at 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees F) for 10 mins.
