  • Banana Chocolate Chip Cake

    Yet more advice from a fellow dumpster diver on how to use up all those bananas. She says: "found online..this tastes good with strawberries and sugar on top."

  • Tom Kuay (Thai Banana Soup)

    After the CBC team followed Ryan and me on a dumpster run, I was contacted by another dumpster diver who wanted to ask a few questions and we ended up swapping some recipes. When you end up with a bumper crop of bananas, you need some creative ways to use them all because you can only eat so much banana bread! This recipe came from her.

  • Eggplant Parmesan

    This one was a favorite for a while and we served it to many guests. I think it originated in the More WIth Less Cookbook.

  • Canning Salsa

    It's not as good as the fresh salsa, but it does last longer which can be helpful if you have a lot of tomatoes to use and want to save some jars for the future. I believe this one originated with the "More With Less" cookbook.

  • Fresh Guacamole

    I can't remember where I got this one from originally but I sent it to Patrick in 2008 when he had 4 avocados on hand.

  • Janel's Lasagna

    This is Janel's specialty lasagna which is always a hit and has the distinct advantage of not having to prepare the noodles before putting the lasagna together -- they cook in the oven with the rest of it. This is Alleia's staple meal and we usually divide the lasagna up into baby food jars to stock in the freezer for a quick meal we know she'll devour.

  • Hot Toddy

    I got this recipe from a friend of mine. Her husband vouches for its medicinal value against the common cold.
