This cake is good anytime of the year – warm at Christmas, and chilled for a summer treat. For the best and freshest flavor, the bananas should not be overly ripe. A nice yellow color with no, or just a few, darker spots is just right.

Spiced Nuts in Garlic Ghee
These savory spiced nuts make a great, healthy snack for home and travel. Try them with fruit, yogurt or cottage cheese, chopped and added to cooked grains, or spread over jam on whole grain bread. Adjust seasonings according to personal taste. Remember: To preserve freshness and prevent rancidity, all roasted nuts should be stored in an air-tight container in the refrigerator or the freezer for long-term storage.
Beet Salad with Curry Dressing
This colorful beet salad can be made with either red or golden beets. It’s a simple, tasty salad that pairs well with eggs, cheese, rice or other grains, or hot crusty sourdough bread. Lightly toasting the walnuts really enhances their flavor.
