"End your day with a slice of this silky smooth Banana Cream Pie! With a flaky crust, sweet cream filling, and sliced bananas, you’ll be in heaven!"  Comment from The Recipe Girl.

It has been way too long since I have had Banana Cream Pie!  Would love to make this.

Banana Coconut Cream Dessert

The Betty Crocker recipe page says this dessert is very similar to a Banana Cream Pie.  Looks like it is an easy semi-homemade dessert including Bisquick and instant pudding.  Bisquick is something I always have an extra box of because it makes almost everything you make with it seem like you spent hours on it.

Lemon lover here . . . lemon flavor, buttery and crunchy is calling my name.  These two versions of the cookie are very similar.  Check out both recipes, including instructions, to determine which one is the best one for you.

 Both of them sound like a winner for me!

"Lemon Shortbread Cookies are sweet and tender with tons of lemon flavor from lemon zest and lemon juice. They’re buttery and crunchy and the perfect shortbread cookie recipe – you can make them any shape you want. These cookies are the best recipe for lemon lovers everywhere." comment from Dorothy of Crazy For Crust

"These lemon shortbread cookies are the kind of recipe I find myself coming back to again and again. They’re buttery and tender with just enough lemon to feel fresh without tipping into sharp or sweet. Think classic shortbread, lightly brightened up."  Comment from Bake or Break

Corn Dog Casserole

"A corn dog casserole is a homey way to mimic the flavor of that favorite fair food on a stick, without the fuss. The key ingredients are the same: hot dogs and a cornbread batter. Our corn dog casserole recipe includes a few more ingredients and skips the deep frying (and the stick) to create a family-friendly fare for casual mealtimes."  Comment from Taste of Home

It has been years since I had a corn dog and I love them.  If they taste anything like a corn dog, I want one!

"This fast and flavorful Jalapeño Pimento Cheese is a fun twist on the classic! It’s a delicious make-ahead snack that always vanishes fast!"  Comment from Peas and Crayons

The Captain would have loved this Jalapeno Pimento Cheese.  Not me, I'm not into hot stuff that will burn your mouth, but he grew the hottest peppers he could find and would eat them whole.  I love pimento cheese.

"Mushrooms vary in size from teeny-tiny to large-and-in-charge. While you’ve probably seen all different sizes in the store, you might not know the difference in flavor, texture and use in cooking those different mushrooms possess."  Comment from Taste of Home

Since I love mushrooms so much, I am happy to have found a guide to learn more about mushrooms.
