another yummy easy recipe

So I really love cream cheese wontons so i decided to look for a recipe.

This is what I found

1 Package of cream cheese
1 jar of jalepanos sliced
1 package of wonton skins (found in produce section of grocer)


First brush water around the edge and then place cream cheese in the middle and then add 2 sliced jalepanos. Then fold in half so it looks like a triangle. Place in frier with canole oil (That is what I used but you can use what you want) at 350 degrees untill golden brown.

Pineapple Banana Cake

This is so yummy! I just made it tonight and i had to share the recipe. I had some bananas that were about to go bad and so i searched online and found this recipe.



Pineapple Banana Cake

Ingredients:
3 Cups All-Purpose Flour

2 Cups Sugar

1 Teaspoon Baking Powder

1 Teaspoon Salt ;

1 Teaspoon Ground Cinnamon for garnish

3 Ripe Bananas diced (about 2 cups)

1 1/2 Cups Vegetable Oil

1 1/2 Teaspoons Extract Of Vanilla

8 Ounces Crushed Pineapples undrained

3 Eggs lightly beaten

Mix all dry ingredients. Add bananas, oil, pineapple with juice, vanilla, and eggs. Stir all together. Do not beat - just blend. Bake in a greased and floured 9x13 inch pan at 350 degrees for 1 hour and 20 minutes. Cool on rack before removing from pan.


Now it says to bake for 1 hour and 20 mins but i think that is too long. I baked for 1 hour and it was perfect.

the frosting was cream cheese frosting which is also way yummy here is the recipe

Cream Cheese Frosting
2 8-ounce packages cream cheese, room temperature
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
3 cups powdered sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

New addition to our family!




As I write this, our new puppy Izzy sleeps on my husbands shoulder, content in her new home.

The play by play so far? One licked, then abandoned puppy treat. One pee pee + one poop accident (no concept of potty training in the breeders home. Could be trouble ahead.)

One entirely happy Brian and Rachel, after a night of restless sleep :).

we got new couches!

So we decided we needed to get rid of our couches and buy a sectional. We love our new sectional because it has a great big ottoman in the middle so that everyone can put there feet up. So here are a few pics

Halloween.

This year i decided not to dress up for halloween at work. I just couldnt find anything I wanted to be. But i still thought i would put up some of the pics i took from work.


this is my Boss Tammy


this is Monica


this is Hiedi

This is only a few of them. But of course these are some of my favs.


So we really didnt do much when it came down to Halloween night we just stayed home and ate sushi. It was fun just hanging out with my hubby but it w0uld have been nice if we would have gotten some trick or treaters. Maybe one day when we move into a house we will get some and i can really decorate the outside of my house :) This year i was only able to put a couple things up. The little blocks that say boo on them are from my sister and the pumpkins are from party lite candels.
