Easy Banana Coconut Cake


(that old sliver cake server belonged to 
my Mama when I was a little girl)

You're all probably too young 
to remember a song 
that started out . . .
"If I knew you were coming
I'da baked a cake" 
 


Well last Friday I baked a cake 

and everyone wanted my recipe. 



I was a little hesitant to give it

because these ladies always

bake cakes from scratch.   



All that I did was add a 

ripe banana to a yellow cake mix,

then I added coconut extract 

to a powdered sugar and water 

glaze and topped with coconut.

Sooooooooooooo Easy! 

 



You might have noticed my 

aprons on the wall in 

the photo with the table.

My old rake handle hanger

is very full.

Since my fall a couple months ago

I have started wearing aprons 

everyday.  Not all by clothes

have pockets and if we fall 

and we are alone, having our

phone in our pocket is 

a necessity.



Flowers from the garden :)





If you try my cake, you'll

have to take the good rating

from my friends, because I didn't

even taste it.




This is why.

I have been having this problem 

for well over a year,

but it started getting worst

so I've started this diet.

There are a lot of "NO'S" in it

that I don't like but I'm doing anyway.

No Coffee or Tea

No Chocolate

No Spicy Food

No High Fat Dairy . . .

That means

No Ice Cream

No Tomatoes

(and I have a garden full of them)

No Fried Foods

No High Sugary Foods

Oh, and many small meals eaten

slow throughout the day rather 

than my usual 

two eaten faster than I realized.  

πŸ˜”What's a food loving girl to do😟

The bright side is that I've

been on it just over a 

week now and it working :)

Wishing you all a wonderful week.

God bless you,

Your blogging sister,

Connie :)

Girls Just Want To Have Fun!

 


I just came in from 

opening the gate . . .

I'm expecting friends to drop in,

in about half an hour.





While outside, I checked the 
mailbox and took a few
snapshots.








We are getting together this 

afternoon to play dominos.

Sometimes girls just 

want to have fun 😁



πŸ‚ƒπŸ‚„πŸ‚…πŸ‚†πŸ‚‡πŸ‚ˆπŸ‚‰

God bless you all,
