After-Church Stew

Got this recipe from my FAVORITE cookbook! House Specialties! I've kind of tweaked it to how my family likes it. You can cook it in the oven if you don't have a crock pot. And...you don't have to only make it after church. You can make it any day of the week!

Best Banana Cake

recipe courtesy of Rhonda J.

(From Rhonda J...) This is one of, (if not) the BEST banana cake I have ever tasted! I thought the oven temp of 275° sounded a little low, but this cake baked up (and rose) beautifully in my oven at this temp after pretty much exactly one hour. I do not know if the little "freezer trick" to this recipe is what ensured its moistness or not, but I did it, and it was exceptionally moist & delicious. A dense cake, similar in texture to a carrot cake. It got better each day it sat, I always make this cake at least the day before I need or want it. I was extremely pleased with this cake and will be making it over & over again!! (baking time may vary based on individual ovens!)

BEST Chocolate Chip Cookies

I found this post on Pinterest and it made me SO curious. Because I think my chocolate chip cookies are really really good. But are they the best? This woman searched for THE BEST chocolate chip cookie recipe so try it and see what you think. Here's why she did what she did. She said "I think it's pretty fair to say that when most of us think of making chocolate chip cookies, we look on the yellow Nestle bag for the Toll House Cookie recipe. Recently my friend Kim had a chocolate chip cookie fail! She asked me "What happened? What did I do wrong?" I made a few suggestions off the top of my head, but it got me thinking. I wanted to search for the BEST, no fail, Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe."

Crock Pot Roast

recipe courtesy of Brook

This is what my kids have called "Juicy Meat" for years. It is the easiest thing. The recipe originated from my sister, but I have kind of "morphed" it through the years and now I'm not sure exactly how she made it! ha! This roast can be pulled apart (it usually just falls apart) and we put it over noodles and serve with rolls and salad.

Crusted Honey Mustard Chicken

I saw this recipe and thought it looked amazing. And then I tasted it, and it WAS!! Hard to believe it originally came from Weight Watchers. We adapted it a little bit, but seriously...you may never go back to regular fried chicken again!
