Banana Split cake Recipe


Here is a favorite family recipe I thought I would share :-)

1 box vanilla wafers
1 stick butter
16 oz. Cream Cheese
1 can of Pineapple
1 cup powdered sugar
1 tub of Cool-whip
about 4 Bananas
2 Pints strawberry's
optional :
1/2 cup Pecans broken up
I like to toast them but that is up to you.

Melt the butter and mix with crushed vanilla wafers. Spread on bottom of 13 X 9 pan.
Whip together cream cheese, powdered sugar and juice from pineapples.
Spread on top of Vanilla wafers. Spread crushed pineapple on top of cream cheese. Top with sliced bananas and cool-whip. On top of that slice strawberry's. Sprinkle pecans on top.
Refrigerate for at least one hour before serving.
I like to drizzle Hersey's chocolate syrup on top of each portion , and cherries are wonderful in this when they are in season.

State Capitol Pictures

Here are the pictures we took of Texas State Capitol. It was so beautiful. I can't believe I have lived in TX my whole life and have never been inside it ! I would love to go back again sometime and take better photos. We had to hurry through in order to make it to the Alamo before they closed. There was some pretty cool furniture in one of the reception rooms. :-) I posted lots more pictures on Facebook if you are interested.




Fun filled Week :-D

Well , We have had a wonderful week here ! We have had friends staying with us from NC.
We fit in 2 dance practices , 2 trips to different book stores, horse back riding, several fun card games and a trip to San Antonio where we saw the State capitol , the Alamo and went on the River walk. I had never been inside the Texas state capitol before and it was AMAZING ! I have lived in Texas my whole life and had never seen the inside. I would highly encourage people to go visit it :-)
Pictures to follow soon !
