Sydney over at The Crepes of Wrath has a plethora of wonderful recipes both savory and sweet. I've yet to try one of the savory recipes but I've printed a few out and added them to my must make pile. I'm in the middle of football and baseball season, my children are lucky to eat! I have though tried several of the sweet recipes and all were huge hits!
The most recent one I've tried was Caramelized Banana Brownies with Peanut Butter Sweet Cream Frosting. That is a mouthful! Can you say that 5 times fast?
I followed the recipe and only made one very minor change... I didn't use the frosting on the brownies. I made it and if you're a fan of cream cheese and or peanut butter it's a must try but I didn't use it! The caramelized banana mixture was OUTSTANDING and tasted so good with the brownies I couldn't "mess" it up by adding frosting. Try the recipe you'll see what I mean.
Because I didn't want the kids diving into the brownies before I could take (good daylight )photos I toasted up a couple of bagels and slathered them with the left over banana mixture. Talk about good......the kids didn't even ask for a taste of the brownies. They were willing to wait until the next day so that I could take my photos during the daytime. They even asked for "bagels and bananas" as they called it the next morning! The peanut butter sweet cream frosting was also a yummy addition to bagels though most of it got eaten straight out of the bowl or was put on whatever else was handy.
I only posted one photo because after looking at all the pictures I had taken I realized that the plate I used was distracting! This was the best one out of the lot of about 20! BOO-HOO! Just when I thought I was getting better!
Coming up next...Snickerdoodle BARS from Julia at Dozen Flours and a few books! I got in 3 new cookbooks and Tess Gerritsen's new thriller The Keepsake!

The brownies are good on their own but the banana mixture puts them over the top. I'm such a dope....I managed to distract the kids and then STILL didn't get good photos! I have about 50 more pages of Gerritsen's new book, it's GREAT! Have you started it yet?
BTW, thanks for coming by and checking out my blog!
