Easy Banana Bread

Hey y'all!
I hope that you've had a good week so far. I've been nursing my poor sick husband back to health these last few days. He's been pretty sick, but thankfully today he started feeling better and is more himself. After taking him to work this morning, I decided to take Butters to the beach. By beach I mean down by the river. We pretty much live next to the Arkansas River, and that's the closest thing around that reminds me of being at the ocean so I like to take Butters down there and let him run and splash around while I pretend that I'm on a beach somewhere in Florida...

Anyway, enough daydreaming. Let's talk about this Easy Banana Bread. Sometimes I buy bananas. I tell myself that I will eat one banana every day because it would be good for me. When that inevitably doesn't happen, I end up with a few overripe bananas sitting on my kitchen counter. And this happened last week, so I dug out this recipe that I've made a few times in the past. I like this recipe because it has only FOUR ingredients (five if you add nuts). It's a fast and easy way to use up those bananas, and the result is a delicious treat! And since it has bananas it must be good for you, right??? Right!

Cream Cheese Teddy Graham Dip

Hey y'all! This is a sweet and yummy treat that I have made several times before. I found the recipe a few years ago in a sale paper at a local grocery store. It is SUPER easy....and has cream cheese! The hardest part is putting it in the refrigerator to give it time to cool and harden. This time I did not have any mini chocolate chips on hand, so I used regular sized chips, and they worked just fine! Also, I couldn't decide on which Teddy Grahams to use, so I bought two different kinds for dipping. This would be a great dessert for kids of all ages, or even those of us who are just kids at heart. 💗 🐻🐻🐻🐻🐻🐻🐻🐻🐻🐻🐻🐻🐻🐻 Recipe from: CV's sale paper Total Time: 10 minutes Servings: about 10 Cream Cheese Teddy Graham Dip Ingredients: 8 oz. package of cream cheese 1/2 cup of butter, softened 3/4 cup of powdered sugar 2 tablespoons of brown sugar 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract 1 cup of mini semi-sweet chocolate chips Box of Teddy Grahams of your

A.1. Meatloaf

Hey everyone! Here's a recipe that I make fairly often. I'm not a huge fan of meatloaf really. This is more for the husband than anything, but this meatloaf has such a good flavor that I will eat it. I found this recipe on the side of an A.1. Original Sauce bottle and gave it a try a few years ago, and it has just kind of stuck! Whip up some mashed potatoes and heat up some green beans to go with it, and you've got yourself a meal. Recipe from: A.1.

Mocha Punch

Hey y'all! This punch can be customized with any coffee and chocolate ice-cream of your choosing. The original recipe did not call for whipped cream and chocolate sprinkles to be added, but I saw where someone commented that they did this, so I decided to try it. I must say that the punch was awesome by itself, but adding the toppings make it even better! It was soooooo creamy. Plus, who doesn't like chocolate sprinkles? If you have any left over you can even store it in an airtight container in your refrigerator and save for later! I just had a cup of what we had left, and it is still delicious even after the ice-cream has completely melted. This Mocha Punch would be great for a bridal shower, baby shower, birthday party, or even to celebrate the end of the school year! 😉 Enjoy! 🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈 Recipe from: "Allrecipes.com" Servings: around 20 small cups Mocha Punch Ingredients: 4 cups of brewed coffee of your choice 1/4 cup of su
