Banana Bread Pie

So I saw this on Young adventures blog & thought hmmm not sure about that.. I love to live on the edge (LOL) so I decided eh why not. Plus it gives me a chance to use my amazing pie pan my wonderful mom got me for my birthday from William Sonoma! I love that store... seriously I could spend a whole pay check in a day there no kidding. It takes some serious self control. So in conclusion I am so glad I decided to try this recipe. It is moist and yummy and so full of flavor. I did change the recipe up quite a bit though.




Ingredients:
2 very ripe bananas ( I used 4 medium bananas)
1/2 cup light Bisquick mix (if you don't want it runny add 1/4 more)
2 large eggs
1 14oz. can sweetened condensed milk
1 tablespoon of butter melted
1 teaspoon vanilla
*I added chopped walnuts


Directions 
Preheat oven to 400 degrees
Mash the bananas until smooth. I used a potato musher.  
Add rest of the ingredients and mix until blended.
Pour into a 9 inch pie pan. I doubled the recipe and used a deep dish pie pan. 
Cook for 26-30 mins. If you use a deep dish pan I cooked mine for like 40 to 50 mins. Use a knife or toothpick and cook until the inside is no longer runny. I added some whip cream and dusted it with cinnamin. It is very very good. 

Peanut Butter Cookies

So I am not sure about you but I love peanut butter & my oldest Jakob absolutely is a peanut butter addict. So I got in the mood to make some yesterday. Being in Belgium the nice thing about it here is there is a bakery on literally every corner. I have never ever seen American style cookies in them however so I couldn't just run down to the store to pick some out. Besides with my kitchenaid mixer my wonder mother in law got me for Christmas/Birthday gift it is so very easy to just whip stuff up and bake it. So Below is the best recipe for Peanut Butter cookies I have ever tasted (not kidding) You will literally have to force your self not to eat them. Enjoy =D



1 1/2 cups AP flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
pinch of salt
1/2 cup butter
3/4 cup peanut butter
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
2 medium sized eggs

Preheat over to 350 degrees.
Beat together the butter, peanut butter, and vanilla extract. Mix in both sugars, salt, and baking powder.
Gradually mix in the flour, half at a time.
Beat in the eggs, one at a time.
Roll into 1 1/2 inch balls and then roll the balls into sugar. Using a fork, flatten the cookie and make a criss-cross pattern. Bake for 12-13 minutes. Let cookies cool on the cookie sheet after taking them out for about 8 minutes before removing them with a spatula. Cool completely before storing.
