Fairly simple curry recipe here for you, it's always worked brilliantly for me. Don't ask me to convert measurements, I don't do imperial.

500g boneless chicken
1 onion (chopped)
1 T peanut oil
1 t green curry paste
1 can light coconut cream
1 clove of garlic
60ml chicken stock
Steamed rice for 3 or 4 people
Roasted peanuts (your discretion on how much)

1) Cut chicken into pieces.
2) Saute onion and garlic for about 5 minutes
3) Add curry paste and saute for a further 1 minute
4) Add chicken, coconut cream, and stock. Cook for about 15 minutes
5) Serve with steamed rice and garnish with roasted peanuts. Serves three (though you could probably manage it for four).

My first attempt at actually writing a recipe, hope I did alright there.

Spoiler: Homemade Banana Bread

Ingredients:

* 2 eggs, beaten
* 1/3 plain low fat yogurt
* 1/2 cup vegetable oil
* 1 cup mashed bananas
* 1 1/2 cups white sugar
* 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
* 1 teaspoon baking soda
* 1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 165 degrees C (325 degrees F). Spray one 9x5 inch loaf pan with non-stick spray coating.

2. Blend together the eggs, yogurt, oil and bananas.

3. Sift together the sugar, flour, baking soda and salt. Add to banana mixture and mix well.

4. Pour into prepared loaf pan and bake 1 hour and 20 minutes.

I felt this was too much sugar so feel free to cut back on that a little bit. I'm going to remake it that way soon but feel free to experiment with the ingredients. I had the idea of blending in some strawberries but never got around to it.
