Are you on Pinterest? Are you loving it?

I tried this recipe and it was a winner.

BANANA cake with cream cheese frosting.
All of the Cunninghams get to pick an item that I will make for them for their birthday. As Jasmine said "those Cunninghams sure do love their banana pastries". We have made banana muffins, banana bundt cake, black bottom banana bars and banana bread. When I found this banana recipe, I wanted to try it for Hayden's birthday.

It was a winner. And just so you know it is super banana-ie.

A sweet friend, Laura - made us a YUMMY cheese ball for Christmas. She even gave it to us in a pretty bowl with a sleeve of ritz crackers. We had everything we needed to dig in. Bret loved it - he said you have to find out how she made this.

So I asked her for the recipe and I thought I would surprise him and make it for the Superbowl.

There is an item that is hard to find here in the valley. Fry's is the only place that she has been able to find the Kraft Roca Cheese spread. When I went they were discontuining it and so I bought several jars for both of us.

12 oz cream cheese
1 jar Kraft Roca blue cheese spread
2 jars Kraft Old English cheese spread
2 Tbl minced onions
1 tsp worcestershire sauce
1 cup chopped walnuts

Blend softened cheeses together and other ingredients. Refrigerate over night.
Form into a ball.
Top with chopped nuts if desired.
