My contribution



I'm finally getting around to doing my post about a cookie/cake/delish baked thing that Trying asked for a few weeks ago. Here is the original post.

Banana Split Cake is what I made last week for my co-workers. They all loved it and promptly asked me for the recipe. I gladly shared and loved the fact that they enjoyed it as much as I did. My mom makes this cake for holiday gatherings and it's always almost gone before you can blink. It's no bake either, just needs to be refridgerated over night which makes it beyond easy.

Banana Split Cake

Crust- 2/3 stick melted butter
2 cups or 11 squares of graham crackers crushed.

Mix melted butter and crushed crackers together. Put in the bottom of 13x9 baking pan and pack tightly.

2 eggs
2 sticks margerine
2 cups powdered sugar
3-5 sliced bananas
20 oz of crushed pineapple (well drained)
1 large container of Cool Whip
Maraschino cherries (halved)
Chopped pecans
Shredded coconut

Beat eggs, margarine and powedered sugar together no less than 5-10 minutes. Spread over crust.

Add layer of sliced bananas and then a layer of pineapple

Top with a layer of whipped topping. I like to put it on thick.

Top with cherries, pecans and coconut.

Refridgerate overnight.

The finished product: (I made a half-recipe for the office, if you're wondering why my pan is obviously not 13x9)




If you make it, you have to tell me if you like it or not!

Friday Flowers

Words can't express how happy I am that it is Friday. I woke up this morning and didn't even mind getting up early because it was Friday and that means I have the next two days off. If that's not exciting I don't know what is.

Sean and I are supposed to go out tonight with one of his friends so I hope that ends up being a good time. We might go see a movie this weekend too, but that's still up in the air. What I really need to do is be a responsible adult and clean the house and work on our expense report on Excel, but on a Friday that really doesn't seem the most fun thing to do.

I made banana split cake last night since it's one of my co-workers last day here at work. Banana split cake is a family favorite and my mom usually makes it for Thanksgiving and Christmas. It's really tasty and so easy to make. I'd share the recipe, but I left it at home and I also took a picture of my masterpiece, but that's on my camera at home too. I'll have to add those back in later.

I will leave you however with a flower picture I took last week on one of the trails here at Ft. Polk. Hope it brightens your day!



Everyone enjoy your weekend!
