When you find a couple of ripe bananas on your counter what is the first thing you think of ?  Most likely - it’s banana bread!  Well, next time you find a couple of ripe bananas give this recipe a try - they are so yummy!  It makes a huge batch since it uses a big jellyroll pan so there are plenty to share.  It’s a good “potluck” dessert since it makes so much  My friend Jane Densley shared this recipe with me and it has become a family favorite.  My favorite part is the cream cheese frosting on top.  So if you have any leftover banana bars be sure and refrigerate them so the cream cheese doesn’t go bad.

My sis-in-law shared your blog with me several weeks ago, and it’s become one of my favorites. Last weekend we had lots of family in town for our daughter’s baby blessing, and it provided a chance for me to try out several of your recipes (e.g., Banana Bars, Lemon White Chunk Cookies, RK Treats, & Nordy Bars). I wanted to try a couple others, but I ran out of time & energy. Everything was yummy and was gobbled up quickly. I had lots of requests for the recipes, so I happily shared your site with them. Thanks so much for sharing!

I am so glad your family enjoyed all the fun treats - it sounds like you provided quite a spread. I visited your blog and saw your darling Ceseley. Glad she is doing so well. My Cali was 5 lbs. 4 oz. when we brought her home from the hospital - just a little bag of bones is what we called her. She was 4 weeks early too!

Welcome

My number one priority
has been and will always be
my family.
But I also feel strongly
that it is possible
for women to incorporate
all their interests,
goals and ambitions
into a balanced life.
I love working with women and helping to inspire them to achieve their goals and dreams while still maintaining motherhood and family as
their number one priority.
