Coconut Banana Bread
As a kid, you couldn’t get me to eat coconut, but now I can handle it just fine in small portions. I still don’t think I could eat a Mounds or Almond Joy. I’m guessing the coconut version is probably healthier than my chocolate chip version. Hmmm? Maybe a combination of both?

Soft Caramel Brownie Cookies
These will definitely take care of my sweet tooth. I’m not a big chocolate fan, but I love brownies and the caramel is the icing on the cookie. If you don’t have a heart cookie cutter, just cut the caramel in half. You could also cut the heart shape with a knife, but I’m pretty sure my hearts won’t look … Read More ...
