On a side note, this Creamy Banana Cheesecake Pie has a definite lightness to it. It’s probably a dessert better suited to spring or summer, but I like little reminders of the warmer seasons in the midst of the cold winter. This week has had it’s own touch of spring with temps in the mid to high 40s. I’m more ready for spring than I thought.
This is definitely a recipe I’ll be using again. And it got approval from Dad, which is a big deal!
My brother has nicknamed this creation “Cupuffins” because they really are good without the frosting, like muffins, but the frosting is really tasty too, which makes them cupcakes. Hence: Cupuffins.
So in my adventure to develop my own favorites, this recipe is a good first try. And I’m excited to make some changes and try it again.
While Mom was making her final batch for the season and I was documenting it I told her she was the best at caramel corn. She humbly responded that it took a lot of trial and error. I’m glad she stuck with it, and I’m glad she’s willing to pass on her Mom Tips to me.
This tradition helps us to remember our heritage and also our extended family members and loved ones. Merry Christmas! I hope that you find joy and blessings as you celebrate the weekend—and into the New Year!
I’m not sure why I thought jello would be easy. I think I made it once before when I was younger than 12 years old—and I’m certain that my only part of the process was to maybe stir. Maybe. And I know we didn’t use fancy molds.
The couple weeks that stretch between Thanksgiving and Christmas are a time for preparing. We prepare our hearts for the celebration of Christmas and we prepare our kitchens and tables too. This usually means a lot of time listening to carols and baking cookies. Lots of cookies. Last year I outdid myself in the cookie department. I tried new recipes while still making the must-haves.
I present to you, the humble pickle wrap—our most beloved appetizer.
