Banana Creme Pie

With Cool Whip topping

and Caramel Drizzle

I have to admit that I am some what disappointed in my lack of enthusiasm with my posts. It's not that I don't love to bake/cook, it's just smashing everything into one day. Completing it all can be over whelming.

Ok enough of a rant, lets talk FOOD.

Over the past couple weeks I have tried to, at least, once a week make something new. I have sooo many recipes just waiting to be whipped up. Most of the time when I decide on what I will concur <--(pokes chest out, chin up, nod!) all come from what I have in the house.

The "inspiration" for the Banana Creme pie was three bananas in a bowl on my kitchen table screaming, "PLEASE DON'T WASTE US, WE CAN BE USED FOR SOMETHING TASTY AND GLUTEN FREE" originally I was going to just make Banana pudding. Fast forward tome standing in the gluten free isle at Wegmans, seeing someone place the last box of Gluten Free Cinnamon Graham crackers down<-- Insert FATE and instant inspiration! I knew right there I was going to go home and make something divine. Hence the final master piece. See above!

Vietnamese Summer Rolls

<----Those are heaven in a form of a sticky Shrimp stuffed Roll!

Now my next project came with the help of my Preggers bestfriend, Lyn. Having a prego around helps with the inspiration, and dissolves any guilt you may have while consuming too much food. I say the sympathy I was having for her hunger made me eat more. Just a thought.

We love, love, love to eat PHO, and whenever we get Pho, Summer Rolls are a must. This Recipe is very simple to make, just a little time consuming. I find it rather difficult to not munch on one or two while you're doing all that stuffing and wrapping. As you can see my rolls are rolled a little more neatly.Clears throat with a slight tone of accomplishment, I was under the influence of some "medication" so I was bent on making them look perfect. This "medication" helps me to focus, and my impatientness diminished. Now there is usually a Peanut Sauce that goes with the Rolls, but thanks to the forgetfulness I have I didn't have any GF soy sauce. I tried to whip up some kind of peanut sauce using peanut butter, Roster Sauce and some other ingredients. Wasn't like the Pho places, but it was interesting.

Poppy Seed Lemon Bread

Again I have my resources around the house, and

preggers Lyn to thank for this one. I am a huge fan of lemon and poppy seeds! This bread was absolutely amazing. Next time I will have to go less on the lemon glaze, it was just a tad too tart. Even with the slight tang bite to it, the bread was so moist. Crispy crust and moist warm inside. My mouth is literally watering as I type this. I can't wait to visit my family to have them try out all my new goodies.
