A secret recipe!!

Ok this one is killing me!!!

Here is what I have decided...

I am not doing this one!
Oh I know it sounds like I am giving something up on my list but that is just not the case.
If you know me you know I love food. I don't ask for opinions often because I will cry if they tell me they hate it. And in my family its not completely unlikely for someone to say they hate something. So the ONLY person I ask is my brother in law Jay.
I know this is totally random and if you know Jay you are thinking what is she nuts?! But Jay is kind and not afraid to say maybe a little this or a little more that.... And he isn't mean and doesn't make me feel stupid! (Even though I thought I almost killed him once... Ask him about the calzones I made for him)
Soooo...
I have made a few dishes that I thought this would be a perfect secret recipe...
Banana split cake
Zucchini lasagna
But every time someone says this is good and I think.... They should make this too!
They should be able to put their own creative spin on things.
Cooking/ Baking and be such a refreshing expression of ones artistic ability, why would I limit someone from making tasty art! So I am going to post the recipes and its no secret!

Banana Split Cake!
This is a two layer cake.
I used New Hope Mills GF vanilla cake mix.
In the middle of the two prepared cakes I put melted peanut butter and bananas.
I frosted the cake with chocolate whipped frosting and topped it with sliced strawberries :) soooo yummy!

Zucchini Lasagna.

Make normal lasagna just replace noodles with zucchini.
It's so tasty! Even my little boys loved it!
Only caution is ... It's super juicy so let it set for a bit when you take it out of the oven.

I do not claim to be a chef!
So these are nothing new I am sure... But still fun things I enjoyed making!

Enjoy your tasty art!!

They won't go in order!

If i was to cross all these off in order I would have to lose 10 more pounds really fast! But I am happy to say I am close!!

So I will be posting as I do these. Some may fall in order some may not.

The next one is number 10 Get quoted!!
This is something I have actually already done.
I was interviewed by a sweet little news paper called "The Good News"!
It was all about national adoption month and our (mine and Dave's ) perspective at adoptive parents.

I am working really hard to get a link so you can read the article but so far I am not having any luck! What I do have is a few pictures!


Also in this number 11 Be on the Radio....
Again I was really hoping to be able to post a link to share the interview but for some reason the station does not allow that. Sad news. But it can get crossed off the list bc in early November I was interviewed by a station out of Buffalo. We talked a lot about Bethany Christian Services and national adoption month!
It was sorta scary but really fun!

Ok so that's 2 more off the list!

30. Put colors in my hair :)

Ok well I have wanted to do this for years! But I went to a small Christian high school that did not allow (crazy) hair coloring. So I waited....
And got married...
And had kids...
And started working at a camp....
The time was right!!!
So after years and years of waiting I did it!

My hair dresser is fantastic!
I love this lady!!
We met when I was a frizzy haired mess in junior high. I babysat her girls and she taught me all the major do's and don'ts of curly hair maintenance. No kidding since I was 12 probably only 2 other people have cut my hair! I can't say enough about her.
So if you are in need of a hair stylist let me know.... I will give you her info.

That being said the pictures don't really do it justice .... But the colors are red, pink, purple and blue :)
