Just dropping by for a quick hello, and to post a recipe.
As always at the bottom of this page (little green button) you can click print if you'd like to print the recipe and it will print without all the other garb on the blog.
I made these a couple weekends ago, not really a recipe
for them, I just wing it, but here's how I made mine...
Banana Flips
bananas
pancake mix (I used bisquick)
milk
spray butter
cinnamon and sugar
First, slice up your bananas, NOT on the diagonal, they have to be flat and not too thick, if not the pancake mix will not cook on the sides of the bananas.
In a small bowl pour some pancake mix, add little milk, at a time, til you have a Pancake type consistency batter. Dip your banana slices into the batter and place into a greased skillet or griddle. Allow to cook til mixture bubbles like pancakes and then flip and do the other side. Remove from heat and place onto serving dish, spray with butter and sprinkle sugar and cinnamon over top to your liking.
I fixed those along with the egg in a basket, toad in the hole whatever you call it eggs LOL which is not something I want to try again, just seemed like I couldn't get the eggs done, and by the time I flipped them, the toast was burned, so not so pretty picture but here it is
Happy Valentines Everyone
Thought I'd share with you the cards I made for the Card Swap since everyone has received them by now.
I did a "Paris" theme for one of them, as a reminder of my trip this year
the other two were vintage
The Tuck ins were a crocheted Heart which I stuck into an envelope made out of scrapbook paper.
The bookmarks I made out of paint chips. This was a fun swap! I cant wait to show you the cards and tuck ins the others made.
Happy Friday everyone.
I wanted to share with you the simplest recipe ever, well its not actually a recipe, but you can pretend you spent hours in the kitchen making these by a recipe, if you prefer.
I actually made these for Christmas and thought they'd be cute to share with you all in case you needed some Valentines Day ideas.
what you'll need:
pound cake (I used a already made pound cake which can be found in the grocery store freezer section)
Chocolate for dipping ( I used the microwave kind,white chocolate)
jam or jelly ( I used raspberry jam)
square or round cutter
Directions
Slice your pound cake, folks I didnt measure how thick i cut these, i'd say and this is guessing mind you I cut them maybe 1/4" thick? I tried to get it thin enough to where the little cutter could cut easily
each Petit Four takes 3 slices. Take first slice spread on jam or jelly of your choice add another layer of poundcake-spread it with jelly/jam then add another layer of pound cake
Now here's the messy part I tried to dip these into the chocolate and place onto a rack for drying, but they stuck to the rack, so I would suggest sitting them onto wax paper to set up unless you have better way of dipping, and if you do please let me know.
once they set up you can melt some colored candy disks and swipe on some color, as I did with these, in Red or color of your choice. (photo above)
Voila! you've made yourself some fancy petit fours.
There were many other things I made for Christmas dinner that I spent more time and effort on, but these were the only goodies anyone complimented me on *blush. Enjoy and if you make some I'd love to see some photos :)
