1, 2, 3 Cake

My wonderful friend Kathy McCullough told me about this quick & easy way to use my old bananas. I make it often now.

Here goes:

1 yellow box cake
2 eggs
3 bananas (I use up to 5 bananas, gives it more flavor)

Then to finish it off with complete yumminess here is my icing recipe:

1 c. butter (2 sticks) room temperture
3 c. powder sugar
2 tsp. vanilla
2-3 TBS. heavy whipping cream

Cream butter & sugar together on low for a couple of minutes to blend then on high to mix well.
Add vanilla & 2 TBS. heavy cream; mix for 2 minutes. Test it for spreading consistency before adding another TBS of cream.

Cookies & Chloe

Lauren went home with our friends, The Lords (Jeanette & Katie), after church today. After church, we had a meeting with our photographer that will be shooting our vow renewal, when that was over Chloe requested to make cookies with me. I didn't feel like making anything elaborate so I got out my favorite shortcut recipe for cookie making that my friend Melissa Larson gave to me when we lived in California. It's the easiest yummy cookies you'll ever make!

Recipe:

1 box confetti cake mix
1/3 c. oil
2 eggs

Preheat oven to 350*. Mix above ingredients. Place small round scoopfuls onto stone & bake for 10-13 minutes (ovens vary so be sure and check them at 10 min).
