About Easy Banana Recipes...and How It StartedHi, I'm Dorena. I'm a blissful work-at-home mother of 3 wonderful kids who keep me busy every single day, or shall I say, every single minute. With my busy schedule, I am always on a "hunt" for the easy, quick and satisfying recipes to cook for my family and friends. Over the years, I have developed a list of really easy, good recipes that have helped me spend less time in the kitchen to pursue other things :-). These recipes are from my family which were handed down from my grandma, mom, relatives, and also friends. The idea of starting this website was actually from my dear husband. However, it took me longer than expected to start (3 years) because I didn't know how to start a website. But that all changed now. And so the journey with this website began in 2008 after the birth of my youngest baby. You may ask, why a banana related recipe site? Well, this was my first attempt in creating a recipe site and I wanted to keep it niched, straightforward and simple, without being overwhelmed by it. Plus, it was something close-to-the-heart. Now, growing up with a grandmother who was famed for her traditional Asian banana recipes, and a family who had constant supply of bananas helped. As a family, we had pretty much experimented with recipes that use bananas as an ingredient. So we had plenty of “banana cooking” experience. And the decision to create a recipe site centered to bananas was almost instantaneous. For me, rewriting and compiling the recipes was a wonderful walk down memory lane, with plenty of joyful childhood memories to reminisce about. I am still continuously adding new recipes and information to the site, which I hope will keep you coming back for more. And hopefully with the response and experience gained from this site, I am able to create more easy recipe sites soon.
