Sweet and Sour Pork



We have stir fry once a week and I have been looking at recipes that are different from our usual, which is whatever vegetables we have in the freezer and whatever meat we have in the freezer, usually chicken. So today I share this recipe from Cathy at noblepig.com. We have had it two weeks in a row and between the 2 1/2 of us, we managed to devour this in about 10 minutes. It is easy, quick, and tasty!

Honey Whole Wheat Banana Muffins

Got bananas? Are they brown beyond eating? Make these. They are very, very, very delicious.

The recipe is from A Messy Cook on food.com. I halved it to make the proportions fit us better.


1 3/4 cups whole wheat flour
1 T wheat germ
1 t baking soda
1/2 t salt
1/3 cup olive or canola oil
1/2 cup honey
2 eggs
1 cup mashed banana
1/4 cup hot water

Mix together dry ingredients. Beat oil and honey together and mix in eggs and banana. Add dry ingredients to wet, alternating with hot water, mixing after each addition. Don't overmix.

Bake at 325 for 15 - 20 minutes. Remove from oven and cool on rack.

Add in chocolate chips if you like. Enjoy!
