Wideacre

I found this book at the library. I have really enjoyed reading Philippa Gregory’s The Other Boylen Girl & The Constance Princess, so I thought I’d start the beginning of the trilogy. I told a co-worker I was reading this and she warned me that it was really bizarre. She was RIGHT! It was more than a lil too incestual for me, but I was still interested in the overall story. I was very happy to finish it last night, but of course now I want to see what happens to the characters (the children from Wideacre), so I’ll probably start The Favored Child tonight. Happy reading!

Banana Creme Bundt Cake

I found this recipe on recipezaar last week and my mom & I made it over the weekend! So yummy & moist! We added an extra banana and less pecans b/c I don’t love nuts in cakes. We’d eaten it up before I thought to take a picture~ sorry! (EDIT~ I made it again for Jason & I so I took a picture this time.)

Ingredients
2 bananas
1 (3 oz) package of banana instant pudding
1 c water
1 yellow cake mix
4 eggs
¼ c oil
½ c finely chopped pecans
Directions
In large mixing bowl, mash bananas.
Add rest of ingredients, except pecans and mix for 2 minutes at medium speed of mixer.
Add chopped pecans.
Pour into greased and floured bundt pan.
Bake at 350 degrees for 60 minutes.
Cool in pan for 15 minutes.
