meatloaf

[Kitchen Witch]

Yesterday was so warm and today it is so cold and damp - but it's a good day to put the oven on -

basic meatloaf: ground chuck, eggs, breadcrumbs, seasonings

gravy, mashed potatoes, steamed carrots, egg rolls

banana bars with cream cheese frosting

[Kitchen Witch]

3 small ripe bananas or 2 large ripe bananas
4 large tablespoons sour cream
1 white cake mix (I use my own mix)
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons oil
1 1/3 c. milk
1 tsp vanilla flavoring

Frosting:

1 8 oz pkg cream cheese
1 stick butter
1/3 c. nuts of your choice
1 box of powdered sugar (4 cups)
1 tsp vanilla flavoring

Blend bananas with mixer, adding your sour cream. When mixture is well blended, not lumpy, add cake mix, eggs, oil, milk, flavoring together and mix. Add milk last so you will be able to judge the consistency of the cake and adjust as needed.

Once well blended, pour mixture into a greased 9x13 cake pan.

Bake at 350F for about 25 min. or until the cake is done.



Mix cream cheese and butter together in a bowl. Add powdered sugar and vanilla. Mix until you get the consistency you like.

Add a little milk to the frosting while mixing if you like it to be creamy. When icing is done, add 1/3 chopped walnuts to the icing. Crush them right out of the package with the end of a blunt object to make smaller pieces.

Stir walnuts into frosting well. After cakes have cooled, frost each layer with icing.

Cut into bars.
