PEAR BREAD
As Bosc pears ripen the texture is as soft as a ripe banana, so I got the idea of making my banana bread recipe with chunks of pear. I added a bit of homemade granola, instead of the toasted coconut I usually put in the banana bread. It is essentially the same recipe, but the result is completely and wonderfully different, with a sweet spice flavor. Note: The trick to this recipe is using the pears when they are very ripe. This means they are at their sweetest and will breakdown when baking.

Steps:
- Making the bread: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9- by 5-inch loaf pan with butter.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granola, baking powder, sugar, salt, and spices.
- Cream together the butter and brown sugar, until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, scraping down the bowl after each one. Alternate adding the flour and milk, in 3 additions, mixing just to incorporate after each addition. Fold in the pears and nuts, if using.
- Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
- Bake for about 1 hour 15 minutes, or until a tester comes out clean.
- Remove from pan and cool to room temperature.
- Make the icing: In a small bowl combine all the ingredients until smooth.

Steps:
- For the steak: To a large resealable bag, add the red wine vinegar, hot sauce, 1 teaspoon salt, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper and lime zest and juice. Mix together and add the flank steak. Marinate for 1 hour in the refrigerator.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high.
- Remove the steak from the marinade and discard the marinade. Pat the steak dry and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill over medium-high heat until cooked to medium-rare, 5 to 6 minutes per side. Let rest 10 minutes, loosely covered with aluminum foil, before slicing.
- For the gravy: In a large pan with straight sides, add the butter, olive oil, onions and thyme. Season with salt and pepper and cook over medium heat until the onions are tender and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms and garlic, season with salt and cook gently until the mushrooms are tender and darkened, about 5 minutes more. Add the Worcestershire sauce and horseradish. Sprinkle the flour over the entire pan. Stir to help the flour to soak into the vegetables and cook a minute more to lose the flour flavor. Raise the heat to medium-high and add the beef stock. Cook until slightly thickened, then slowly stir in the heavy cream. Simmer until the cream is thickened slightly, about 4 minutes more. Taste and season with salt, if needed.
- For the toast: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F or a grill to medium heat.
- Arrange the sliced bread on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil. In a small pot, add the butter, onion powder, thyme and garlic and season with salt. Heat over medium-low heat until the butter is melted. Brush the garlic butter evenly onto the bread. If baking, place in the oven and bake until the edges are golden, about 10 minutes. If grilling, place the bread slices buttered-side down on the grill and grill until toasted and grill marks appear, 2 to 3 minutes.
- To serve, layer the toast, then slices of beef and pour over a spoonful of gravy.
PEAR AND STILTON SANDWICHES
Steps:
- Spread each bread slice with the softened butter. Sprinkle the pear slices with the lemon juice. Place half of the pear slices in a single layer on a slice of the bread. Top with half of the crumbled cheese and a second bread slice. Repeat, using the remaining pear slices, cheese and bread.
GRILLED CHEESE ON RAISIN BREAD
This sandwich is a little different than the usual grilled cheese but so good. I always serve it with a bit of corn syrup for dipping (ketchup would not work!). Actually, when we were growing up grilled cheese always came with a side of corn syrup for dipping and that still is the way I like it best. I am a cheese lover, extra old cheddar is my favorite but on this sandwich I go back to Velveeta which once again takes me back to my childhood. This sandwich is quite sweet so if you don't like sweet it won't be your cup of tea!

Steps:
- Place cheese on top of one slice of bread and then cover with the other slice.
- Lightly butter outer sides of both slices of bread.
- Grill at medium heat in a frying pan until light brown.
- Turn and grill the other side.
- Serve with corn syrup. (if you prefer not to use it that is fine, it will still be good!).
- Enjoy!
Tips:
- Use a sturdy bread that can hold up to the fillings, such as a sourdough or a baguette.
- Spread the butter on the bread while it's still warm from the grill, so it will melt and soak into the bread.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different fillings. Some other great options include:
- Brie and apple
- Goat cheese and honey
- Nutella and banana
- If you're making the grilled raisin bread ahead of time, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
