I love dessert. It's safe to say I'm obsessed and addicted to dessert. So when I can find a dessert that's actually pretty good for you, well, it's a winner! Bananas are full of potassium, and they also have calcium and Vitamin A. Cinnamon is loaded with antioxidants, has anti-inflammatory properties, and it's said to reduce the risk of heart disease. Put the two together and you've got one healthy dessert, not to mention a great tasting one too! I made this recipe as a snack for Travis and I one Sunday, but we both agreed it would taste amazing on top of ice cream for a full on dessert. Continue Reading

Apple Pie Bites
My husband had surgery recently. Eye surgery. It was a fairly quick procedure. I only had to wait all morning before I got to see that the surgeon hadn't blinded him. We'd been told by several people that the surgery wouldn't be the tough part -- the recovery would. We were told it is very painful and would take a couple weeks before he could see clearly. My husband came home the day before the procedure with a giant bag full of medications and eye drops. As I read the descriptions for when and how many times he was to take each one, I seriously became queasy. I thought I was going to pass Continue Reading
Marshmallow Rolls
Mmmmm mmm mmm were these good! I made these scrumptious rolls right before supper was finished cooking, and we ended up eating almost all of them before supper! A lot of people call these resurrection rolls and make them for Easter while telling the story of how Jesus rose from the dead. I remember my mother making these with my brother and I once. But since it isn't anywhere near Easter, I renamed them. And they still taste just as yummy!
