This is Zack's recipe for Banana Smash Pie. It's pretty straightforward seeing as most of the ingredients are "banana smash" with just a touch of fdsafdsa. It only takes about 3 1/2 hours to make and goes great with steak, potato, beans and corn. At only 567 calories a serving it's a meal in itself!
This is my new template for what I like to call our "dinner recipes". My intention is to make a recipe for all the dinners we have at our house. The idea is that one of us (or one of our future kids) will be able to pick a dinner, know what they need in order to make it and have some ideas for sides to go with it. My goal is to someday have my kids plan, shop for and cook all the meals for Zack and I.
(Now that you've had a chance to stop laughing....)
The real plan is for me to be able to plan, shop for and cook our meals without feeling like I've pulled out my teeth one by one. All I'll have to do to plan a menu for the week is choose from a variety of Evans Approved Meals. These meals aren't going to be rocket science. For instance, one of them is "BLT's" and the ingredients are, you guessed it,: bacon, lettuce, tomato, bread, and mayo. Sides might include potato chips and cottage cheese, broccoli, carrots or even corn!
Why do I need this? I don't know, but I do. And Zack was wonderful enough to create a cool template in Excel where all I have to do is plug in words and it creates that nice format you see in his "example recipe" for Banana Smash Pie! Thanks, Zack!

I think you should invite me over for some Banana Smash Pie. Sounds D-lish!
I think it is great you are getting organized to buy and cook your yummy meals. I can't seem to get my act together. I don't think of something until 5 pm and then I have to run to the store. Your method is much better.
Oh Carrie - You had me at "cool template in Excel"
You mind emailing said template my way? I'm tired of all the mumbo jumbo in our recipe book. Time to Clean HOUSE.
Hmmm...desire to get things organized? Organizing in ways that might seem strange to others? Ways that require people to have a sense of humor (although while you give us pause to laugh at you, inside we're all saying wish I'd thought of that)?
I think that's called "nesting". Could be someone has a baby comin' sometime on the horizon, no?
"cool template in excel" and "cool enough template to send to an accountant" are two completely different things. We engineers pride ourselves on excel-ing, but you guys...all I can do is slowly clap my hands and say, "Wow".
