Bolinhos de Chuva (Rain Donuts) - Mindee

Alan's Mom just sent me the World Wide Ward Cookbook in the mail the other day and I have to say that everything I have tried so far has been delicious! Marlee has been feeling sick today, so we decided to make these yummy donuts to cheer us both up. This recipe comes from Brazil and is so easy to make. I love the banana and cinnamon combo!!!


2 bananas, mashed
3 eggs
1/2 C. sugar
1 pinch salt
1 Tbsp. baking powder
Vegetable oil for frying
Cinnamon-sugar mixture

Combine all ingredients except oil and cinnamon-sugar mixture, and mix well. Put a tablespoon of dough at a time in hot oil and deep fry. Roll in cinnamon-sugar mixture.

Dill Chicken Bake
This was another recipe I tried the other night from the WWW Cookbook and loved because it was fast and I already had everything on hand. I am a big fan of dill!!! I cut the recipe in half and used the remaining onion soup mix on some cut up potatoes and cooked them in the oven at the same time as the chicken.

4 lb. chicken (any variety of pieces)

1 16-oz. carton sour cream

1 envelope dry onion soup mix

1 tsp. lemon juice

2 Tbsp. dill weed

2 - 10.75-oz. cans cream of mushroom soup

pepper to taste

Place chicken in a greased 9 x 13 inch pan. Combine remaining ingredients and spread over chicken. Sprinkle with pepper. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until chicken is cooked through. - Lesia Binning
