Blueberry-Banana Bread. Q: What’s black and yellow and soft all over? A: The bananas on our kitchen counter when we got home from the beach on Sunday. Of course, when we left on Thursday, the bananas were firm and yellow, even a little green. I’d meant to take them with me, but in the rush of packing I forgot. By the time we got home, our bananas were so overripe that I could actually smell them as we entered the door. But you know the old saying: When life gives you mushy bananas, make banana bread! Before I hit you with the recipe, I want to let you know that the Tried & Tasted roundup has been posted over at Holy Cow.

Buttermilk? But recently I started dreaming about mixing cinnamon rolls and pancakes together… and this is what I came up with- my new favorite pancake: Cinnamon Roll Pancakes. I have a wonderfully fluffy pancake batter that I like to use (recipe below) so I swirled a bit of cinnamon roll filling into the pancake. See, just like a cinnamon roll. Oh yeah. Yield: Eight 4-inch pancakes Ingredients: Cookies and Cream Popcorn. I feel like this popcorn is just out of control. Am I right? I recently wandered past a gourmet popcorn shop, (and thank goodness for my jeans I didn’t go in) and my eye’s started bugging out when I saw cookies and cream popcorn.

I freaking love cookies and cream ice cream and I love any kind of sweet popcorn, so what more could I ask for? A perfect combination. Plus the kids who hung out with me in the kitchen all day today went BONKERS for this. I quick as a bunny made sure that I locked it all away in Tupperware to get it out of my face while I am packing for Greece.

Oh!! ***My new show “RESCUE MY RENOVATION” premiers on HGTV this coming Sunday (September 30th) at 10PM. Maybe make a batch of this to nibble on while you watch it! To make this Cookies and Cream Popcorn, this is what you do: In a large pot with a lid, heat the vegetable oil and popcorn kernels over medium heat. Meanwhile, finely chop the oreo cookies. Toss the cookies with the popcorn. (Store in an airtight container) 1. Pumpkin Icebox Pie Recipe. Here we are, another month has gone by since the last Secret Recipe Club. This is my fifth month already, amazing! Today my Secret Blogger is Allison from Sweet Flours, what a perfect match for me! There were so many great recipes to choose from, like these Strawberry and Cream Bars, or these S’Mores Bars, and of course I was tempted by these Caramel Apple Cupcakes.

But since today kicks off a week of Pumpkin Recipes and fun ideas for you, I finally decided on Pumpkin Icebox Pie, a perfect dessert for Fall or to add to your Thanksgiving Dinner. This Pumpkin Pie is a bit different than the traditional one, with the cinnamon graham cracker crust and the filling with cream cheese and gelatin makes it extra creamy. There are several steps to the recipe, but the good thing is, it can be made ahead, wrapped in plastic and ready for you to serve. Top it off with Cinnamon Whipping Cream and you will be in heaven!
