Beth's amazing potato soup

This is the quickest, easiest and most delicious potato soup I have ever consumed!  It is easily adapted to any group size, just add 1 potato per person served.  You can add more or less sausage depending on what you like.

Boil until tender:
6-8 medium potatoes chopped into bite sized pieces
1 large onion diced

Without draining add:
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 can cream of celery soup
1 pkg of cream cheese

After it melts down add 1 pkg cooked sausage.  I like to cut up slices of kielbasa or you can add other types of sausage or bacon.  Ready to serve when barely starts to bubble.

Banana Nut Bread Cookies

Forget banana bread, this is seriously, hands down, the best use for ripe bananas.  I have a couple sitting on my counter right now which are screaming to be made into cookies.  This is by far the most requested recipe that people ask me to make for them.  The cookies in the picture have red chips in them as well as chocolate.

Cream together:
3/4 cup butter
1 cup sugar

Add then mix well:
1 egg

1/2 tsp vanilla 

Combine separately then add and blend:
1 1/2 cup flour
1 3/4 cup oats
1/2 tsp soda
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon

Fold in:
1 cup mashed banana
1 cup chocolate chips
1 cup chopped walnuts

Bake @ 375 for 12-14 minutes.
