My mom makes a killer carrot cake. I mean, growing up we had Bible studies in our home weekly, and every single time my mom made carrot cake for our guests they raved about it for a long time! Everyone is always begging her to make it for dessert and so many people have asked her for the recipe. It is certainly a delicious treat that she makes really well. My mom is also amazing at making banana bread. It is marvelous what she can do with a few ripe bananas. They were always gone in no time when she made banana bread!

That got me thinking… what if I made a mixture of her amazing creations? You know, take a bit of banana bread, then layer it in a pan with carrot cake. Well, I tried it and guess what? Fail. The cakes baked at different speeds and just totally threw everything off. So then I got to thinking, what if I actually combined them both? So I did that. I practically made a batter of each, mixed it together and waited to see what would happen. The results were outstanding and well, let’s just say I’ll never make either of these cakes the traditional way again.

Quick Tip: Add your favorite nuts into the batter.

Peanut butter and chocolatey goodness make the cookie your new favorite desert!

I love to bake delicious goodies and my kids love to eat them. They’re like desert machines. Any recipe that’s delicious and quick is right up my alley. That’s what makes Cow Patties one of my favorite recipes. You practically just toss all the ingredients together, mix, and it’s ready to eat. You may be laughing now, but soon, you’ll be a Cow Pattie lover too!

Quick Tip: Make sure to stir constantly to prevent cookies from sticking to the bottom of the pan.

Meatloaf so good you might just lose your mind while eating it. Don’t worry, we mean that in a good way 🙂

Stop what you’re doing right now, grab a pound of ground round, and get to crackin’ on this magnificent meatloaf recipe. Seriously, folks, this meatloaf is to die for. One bit, and you’ll be sold for life. The real fun begins when you catch a whiff of this savory meat concoction wafting through the halls of your home while it cooks. Mmmm! We can taste it now! I know that when I was a kid my mother would often make this same meatloaf and my sisters and I could literally smell it from outside when we got off the school bus. It was a heavenly aroma!

Covered in a zesty sauce, the inside of this loaf is moist and meaty, perfect for any family dinner night. Make it a truly hearty meal when paired with golden mashed potatoes, mushroom gravy, and hot Pillsbury crescent rolls. You can always add dessert but you probably won’t have room because you’ll be stuffed full of meatloaf.

Yes, you will have seconds. Shoot, you might even have thirds if your family members haven’t gobbled this meaty goodness all up beforehand. This meatloaf recipe is nothing less than impressive and I’m sure you’ll be making it for years to come. Enjoy!

Quick Tip: If you don’t want to use fresh onions or don’t have them on-hand you can use dried onions or even an envelope of Lipton’s Onion Soup Mix. If you opt for the latter just cut down on the salt you add to the recipe.
