Banana Bread
Ingredients (makes 16 small slices):
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tsp. baking powder
1/8 tsp. salt
1/2 cup liquid egg whites
3 tbsp. Promise Light Buttery Spread
1/4 cup applesauce
2 medium very ripe mashed bananas
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Combine dry ingredients. Combine wet ingredients. Combine wet and dry ingredients
You know the drill. I left my batter a little lumpy because I wanted to be able to see some banana chunks in the bread. Then I poured it into a greased springform pan and baked it at 350 degrees for 45-55 minutes (depending on the oven). The bread should be a golden brown color and cooked around the edges.

Shirataki Noodles
This is how I prepare it. Several hours to days before preparing, drain and rinse well. Place in fresh water in an airtight sealed container in refrigerator. Repeat draining and rinsing several times.
Parboil noodles for about 3 minutes. Drain well, and place back into dry saucepan. Over medium-high to high heat, stir constantly until noodles resemble well drained pasta and are no longer soggy. If you skip this process noodles will be very soggy.
