This recipe for quick bread with maraschino cherries and chocolate chips is the perfect way to use up those ripe bananas.
1/2 cup butter, creamed
1 cup sugar
2 eggs, beaten
3 mashed bananas
1 1/2 cup flour
1 teaspoon soda
1/4 cup chopped nuts
1/4 cup miniature chocolate chips
1/4 cup chopped maraschino cherries
Mix in order given and bake in greased 9" x 5" loaf pan for about 1 hour at 350 degrees F. If making mini-muffins instead, bake for about 15 minutes.
This also freezes well.

Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
Pizza night is always a favorite, especially when you have great tasting pizza from some of the most popular restaurants.

I thought it could use more chocolate chips, but it seems to be kind of a healthy version of banana bread so if you are trying to be healthy then it works.
