Welcome to Dinner with Dori!
My friend, Dori, and I have been getting together every Sunday night for as long as I can remember. We started out meeting up to watch whatever silly TV shows we were into - Desperate Housewives, Brother and Sisters, Revenge, etc. One of us would pick up dinner (usually Magnolia Cafe-yum!) and take it to the other's place. Somewhere along with way, we/I/Dori?? decided to try cooking dinner instead.
I usually pick the menu and get the groceries and Dori takes care of the most important part - the wine! I've been vegetarian since I was 16, so, all the meals have been veggie or vegan. Dori has been such a trooper to go along with whatever crazy ideas I have about what to cook.
Our shows, apartments, relationships, etc. may have changed over the years, but our friendship and appetites have remained the same!

Easter Brunch! Waffles with Bananas Foster Sauce


Amy was sweet enough to have a bunch of us girls over to Bill's house for Easter Brunch.  We totally pigged out on omelettes, potatoes, ham, spinach salad and a bunch of other yumminess.  I've had this recipe for bananas foster forever.  It is supposed to be the same as Brennen's in New Orleans. It is super easy but sounds and looks really impressive. :)  Usually I put it on top of Blue Bell Homemade Vanilla, but it's perfect for a topping on waffles, etc.  I cheated and just used Bisquick with Ener-G egg replaces for the waffles. :) 

BANANAS FOSTER 
1 cup margarine (not butter!)

1 cup light brown sugar
1/4 cup Bacardi 151 rum
1/8 cup banana extract/liquer (it's OK to leave out)
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
4 bananas, sliced
Heat a large saute pan on medium-high heat.
Add the margarine, sugar, extract and cinnamon and stir.
Add bananas and rum and light with a fireplace lighter. Be careful!
Stir around a bit until the flame disappears and served on top of waffles, ice cream, etc.
Serves 4.
