How to Make a Delicious Banana Split Cake Without Eggs
Many people don't like the idea of eating raw eggs even when they are concealed in a recipe. If you are one of those people, as I am, here is a great recipe for a delightful Spring (or anytime) Dessert. This Banana Split Cake is made without using eggs. It is a beautiful dessert anytime of the year. However, it is an especially great dessert for Springtime and for your Easter table or buffet. For an Easter dessert, you could color some coconut green by using a dab of green food coloring. Sprinkle over the top of the cake or gather in the center and top with some jelly beans or miniature malted milk ball eggs to really impress the children in your family.
NO EGG BANANA SPLIT CAKE
2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/2 cup melted butter
1/2 cup chocolate syrup
2 cups powdered sugar
1/2 cup butter (not melted)
3 bananas
1 pint strawberries
1 cup crushed pineapple, drained & reserved
1 carton (9-oz) frozen whipped topping, thawed
1/2 cup chopped pecans
marashino cherries for garnish
In a small mixing bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs and the melted butter until well mixed. Spread the mixture onto the bottom of a 9 x 2 x 13-inch pan or casserole dish. Drizzle the chocolate syrup over the crust. Combine the powdered sugar and the (not melted) butter together and beat until fluffy. Pour this sugar mixture over the chocolate syrup. Slice the bananas into the reserved pineapple juice, drain and add along with the strawberries over the sugar mixture. Top evenly with the pineapple. Spread the whipped topping over all. Sprinkle the chopped pecans over the whipped topping and add cherries, as desired, for garnish.
Enjoy!

Recipe for a Perfect Mother's Day
Ingredient #1: Let mom sleep in. This means being quiet on Mother's Day morning. No loud TV or loud music before mom decides to get out of bed. No loud complaining of "Mom, I can't find my shirt, pants [or any other article of clothing which mom is somehow magically supposed to, and surprisingly often does, know where it is]." Surely you can find something semi-clean to wear. :-) Better yet, just give mom some earplugs the night before so she can simply sleep through anything.
Ingredient #2: Let mom have breakfast in bed. In order to make sure this can actually happen, make sure you know where all of the ingredients, bowls, utensils, and other items you'll need are in the kitchen. Make a list of everything you'll need and make sure you know where all of it is the night before. I have included an easy breakfast recipe at the end of these "ingredients." It has just 6 ingredients and all you need is an electric mixer, bowl, and two bread pans. Under no circumstances should you wake mom up in order to find out where something is. Improvise. If it doesn't turn out, a nicely arranged bowl of cereal that she didn't have to make is still a nice Mother's Day breakfast.
Ingredient #3: Let mom have the day off. This means no cooking, cleaning, laundry, or running errands. Chances are pretty good that she does one or more of these things the other 364 days of the year. Let her have Mother's Day off. If she starts doing one of those things, pleasantly surprise her and offer to do it yourself. And for you kids, I am going to invoke the right of all mothers, she endured X hours of labor in order to bring you into the world, certainly she deserves one day a year off.
Ingredient #4: Tell her "I love you" at least once on Mother's Day. You know she loves to hear that sappy kind of stuff so indulge her. Telling mom you love her does not make you less cool, less of a rebel, less of a man, or any of the other things you might be worried about. Yes, I realize I have just dated myself but I am hoping that you still get my point. Mom loves you. Admitting that you love her too is okay. You can still be yourself and love your mom.
Ingredient #5: Give mom the gift of your day. Give her your attention for the day. Perhaps even have a meaningful talk about something important going on in your life. Moms love that kind of stuff. Let her choose what the family will do on Mother's Day. In a world where we never seem to have enough time for each other anymore, let her have you all to herself that day. Who knows, you might even enjoy having that special time with her.
Here's the easy breakfast recipe I promised.
Poppy Seed Bread
1 package yellow cake mix
1 package instant coconut cream pudding
1 cup hot water
1/2 cup oil
4 eggs
1/4 cup poppy seed
Put all of the above ingredients in a large bowl. Mix all of the ingredients together with an electric mixer on low speed for 4 minutes. Pour the mixture evenly into two bread pans and bake at 350 degrees for about 40 minutes. (A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean.) Allow the bread to cool for about 30 minutes (it should be just slightly warm to the touch) and then carefully take a table knife and run it around the edge of the pan. Using the table knife or your fingers, gently loosen the bread from the bottom of the pan. Turn the pan upside down over a plate. The bread should slide out. If it doesn't, gently tap the bottom of the pan to loosen it. Turn the bread right side up, slice it up and you are ready to serve it to mom.
Happy Baking and Happy Mother's Day!

Discover Easy Ways to Decorate Your Christmas Cake
For many people Christmas time is a hectic round of shopping, cooking, writing cards and wrapping presents. And very often decorating the Christmas cake is left to the last minute, so here are some tips to help you along the way.
One of the quickest designs is a pattern using any of the following: semi-dried fruits, glace fruits, angelica, cherries and different types of nuts. But keep to three or four varieties, otherwise the design becomes too cluttered. If the top of the cake is rounded, cut off, and upturn the cake so the base becomes the top surface. Boil half a jar of apricot jam and press through a sieve. Brush the top surface of the cake with the jam, and cover with a design of fruit and nuts - a circular design for a round cake and straight lines for a square cake. To give the decoration an attractive shine (and to hold the fruit and nuts in place) brush over with jam, and lastly, tie a wide, red or green ribbon around the cake. A similar decoration can be made with marzipan fruits.
If you wish to spend slightly more time, decorate the top of the cake with soft icing, and as before, use ribbon, a cake frill, or a strip of Christmas paper to place around the sides. Again use the base of the cake as the top surface. Roll out sugarpaste (rollout icing) or marzipan, until it is slightly larger than the top of the cake - make sure the paste moves freely. Brush the top of the cake with apricot jam then upturn the cake onto the sugarpaste, and cut away the surplus paste. Place the cake on a cake board. Roll out a length of paste, approximately half inch deep, and cut a strip the same size. Moisten the paste around the edge of the cake and carefully position the strip on the moist surface. Make a design on this edging with cake crimpers - if you have them. Failing that, press the decorated handle of a spoon into the paste. Make an unusual decoration for the centre of the cake by colouring some marzipan red and modelling it into a candle shape. Use a flaked almond for a flame, and then surprise everyone by lighting the almond on Christmas Day - as nuts contain oil the almond will flame for a few moments!
Make Christmas trees from a cone-shaped piece of green marzipan. Use sharp scissors and beginning at the top, make small snips all around the tree. Make snowballs from balls of sugarpaste, very slightly moistened and covered in castor, or granulated sugar. To make holly leaves, roll out the paste and cut into a diamond shape. The sharp points are made by cutting out sections from around the edge of the leaf, with either an icing nozzle or the tip/handle of a small spoon. Mark veins on the leaf with the back of a knife.
For those who wish to venture into the field of royal icing, a quick way to use this icing is by making a 'snow scene'. First, apply a layer of marzipan to the cake and leave to dry for two days. The traditional way of making royal icing is with egg white and icing sugar, but icing sugar is now available which already contains the correct quantity of dried egg white - however, the icing still needs a good beating!
Test the icing before applying to the cake. Using a palette, or table knife, apply the icing about half an inch deep to the cake. Then, using the flat surface of the knife makes a slow 'bouncing' movement on the icing. The icing will stand in peaks if it is the correct consistency. Leave until firm and sprinkle with edible glitter for a sparkling cake. HAPPY Christmas

Love those old-fashion pies that were always at grandma's house! One of the best things about visiting my grandmother's old-fashion kitchen with it's huge old metal wood cookstove was the wonderful baked goods sitting on the warmer. Her biscuits and pies were unbeatable. If you want to revisit grandma's kitchen in your own house, here are three old recipes to get you going. Dora's Impossible Coconut Pie bakes into its' own crust. Mama Harvick's Sugar Pie is just the plain old sugar pie so famous in the olden days. And the Apple-Pecan Pie blends two of our favorites into one.
DORA'S IMPOSSIBLE COCONUT PIE

1/2 cup oleo
1 cup white sugar
1/2 cup flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking powder

Valentine Cakes For Beginners
Most everyone likes to eat cakes. This is an easy recipe. Start with a boxed mix, and mix as directed. You may wish to add any of your favorite flavorings, or things such as coconut, cinnamon, etc. Bake the cake according to the box instructions, or the directions in a cookbook. You can make homemade icing by using 3/4 bag of powdered sugar, 2/3 cup solid white shortening, and milk as a last ingredient. Add the milk a little at a time after you put the first two ingredients in a mixing bowl. Keep adding milk, stopping when the icing is the consistency you like for putting on a cake. Use food coloring dyes to make separate colors of icing. You may want to use icing from the supermarket, and keep in mind that you can add chopped nuts, coconut or other things to this type of icing too.
After the cake is iced, you can decorate it. You may wish to purchase a professional cake decorating set with different tips to make leaves, flowers or words. Try to place the icing as far down inside the bag as possible, and push it down with a spoon. Then fold the end over and over until the icing starts to come out of the decorative tip. If you are going to use different colors of icing, mix the colors separately in different bowls. Make the decorations you want on the cake. When you are finished with the decorating bag, push all of the icing you can out through the tip. Take the pieces connected to the bag apart, and let them soak in warm water for a few minutes to aid in easy cleaning.
You may want to buy cake decorations such as candied hearts, or use miniatures such as plastic horses, tractors, or some other item. Make sure the item will not dissolve on the cake icing, and do not use items on the cake unless you know for sure they are safe to use around food.
Anyone can decorate a cake. Even you!

Indian Shrimp Curry Recipe - Simple, Delicious, and Perfect
If you love curry as much as I do, then you must know that there are few meals that can satisfy your palate as an Indian shrimp curry recipe. This recipe boasts of rich flavors and aroma that is equally matched by the rich colors of its ingredients - the greens and yellows of the curry, the bright red peppers, drenching the pure white rice and the pink shrimps. Shrimps are succulent yet firm in texture and invitingly sweet in flavor. It definitely adds a soothing element to the hotness of the curry. If you are a bit hesitant to try curry because you prefer your less spicy meals, then I have great news for you: curry is not naturally spicy; it is not even because of its own spice.
Indian shrimp curry recipe, and all other curry dishes for that matter, makes use of a spice blend referred to as masala powder. Garam masala is a generic name for the fusion of spices which typically includes red pepper, turmeric and cumin. Curry, as we all know, holds a special place as one of the world's most-loved dish. Its hotness is largely dependent on the amount of red pepper, and other hot additives like chilies. In many restaurants, and definitely in your own home, you are free to add and take off whatever spice you want, depending on your preference. This is the beauty of a curry dish; you can make your own special version of it! The variation of curry is introduced when you blend all the ingredients together.
All you need to make this scrumptiously appetizing dish are:
1. Shrimps
2. Curry powder (it's best if you make your own)
3. Sea salt (in powder form)
4. Coconut milk
5. Red onion, chopped
6. 1 garlic clove
7. 1 cup of green beans
8. Tofu
9. 2 cups of cauliflower
10. 1/3 cup roasted cashews
An Indian shrimp curry recipe is as simple as it is delicious. Don't be scared to try shrimp with curry. It's an entirely different way to put some pizzazz and variety on your next family dinner. You can serve it with basmati, white or brown rice and garnish it with a pinch of cilantro! Let your creative juices flow, and with some experimentation, you can whiz up a scrumptious curry dish in no time. You can easily cook and enjoy many mouthwatering curry recipes in my ebook. I have complied a great selection of great tasting curry recipes and will let you in some culinary secrets every food lover must know. Enjoy!
