When I was a child my mom allowed us to choose our dinner and cake flavor for our birthday dinner. I always chose banana cake with caramel icing for my cake. When I tried this recipe I fell head over heals in love, love, love! I have made this several times; both in bundt cake form and 9x13. When I made it as a bundt cake I drizzled a caramel icing over the cake and also had it plain. The cake is so delicious and moist that it easily stands alone without icing. But with the cream cheese icing this cake is over the top delicious! I recently discovered Saco Powdered Buttermilk and now I always keep it in the pantry. I've made my own buttermilk with vinegar, etc. but this is much easier and I think it tastes better too. I almost never buy buttermilk so keeping it in the powdered form insures I always have some on hand. I just bought a bunch of blueberries and I plan to try to make a blueberry cake with this recipe. I'll substitute the bananas for blueberries and a little nutmeg, and perhaps a bit more sugar since blueberries don't tend to be as naturally sweet as bananas. This will be my go-to banana cake recipe forever!

This is a keeper for sure! I make pizza at least once a week, sometimes more and am always looking for something new. I made my own dough using Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day Olive Oil Dough recipe. I added about 1 T of finely chopped red onion to jazz it up a little, and fresh cilantro when it came out of the oven. Next time I would like to substitute chives for the red onion and saute the chicken in cumin, coriander, and garlic. I love the simplicity of this meal and my kids gobbled it up.

Lemon Icebox is one of my favorite pies of all times. This recipe rocks! I modified it slightly by using an animal cracker crust (2 cups animal crackers crushed, 4 T sugar, and 4 T. melted butter). I also added 4 ounces of softened cream cheese to the filling because I didn't want the pie to be too runny. Totally perfect and yummy!
