    My husband loves ice cream….I think I’ll have to try this!ReplyCancel

  • Blog is the New Black - 07/12/2011 - 5:55 pm

    I’ve always been a huge fan of frozen bananas as a snack, and I use them in smoothies. I’ve yet to blend it into “ice cream.” Looks so wonderful!ReplyCancel

    Such ice cream I love myself 🙂ReplyCancel

  • brooke vanausdal - 07/13/2011 - 7:09 am

    You are a genius ! Do you think this would work with any other frozen fruit ?ReplyCancel

  • Brandi - 07/13/2011 - 8:12 am

    Oh my heck! That is so awesome. I am going to go cut up bananas right now!!! This just may be what I need to get me through the diet and am yet to start… laughing!ReplyCancel

  • Kira - 07/13/2011 - 8:32 am

    This is the most incredible simple dessert I have seen for a while. I absolutely love it! I happen to have two bunches of speckled bananas on the counter and just this morning thought – oh, don’t waste them, make banana bread – but this is sooo much better! Thanks!ReplyCancel

  • Wendy - 07/13/2011 - 3:00 pm

    I’ve been using frozen bananas since I was a little girl. I wasn’t very fond of eating breakfast and my mother used to make me frozen banana milkshakes and smoothies to get something healthy in me before school.ReplyCancel

  • Monica - 08/03/2011 - 7:43 pm

    I love just get off your butt and bake!! (the name too!) We loved this ice cream, I wasn’t completely convinced it tasted like ice cream until I tried it, it’s fantastic. My five year old son told me last night that he put more bananas in the freezer so we could have some more today. I was a little afraid of how he had placed them in the freezer, but he had cut them into slices and put them into a bowl. We are hooked, we will be stocking up on bananas!ReplyCancel

  • sherri lynn @ life of a wife - 08/18/2011 - 2:58 pm

    So funny – on my blog this week I posted about this ice cream! Except I only added peanut butter to the banana. Cocoa powder or fudge sauce sounds really good!ReplyCancel

  • Jo and Sue - 01/29/2012 - 4:38 pm

    I cannot tell you how much I love your blog! Your recipes are so creative 🙂 I knew I had to try this the second I saw it on Pinterest. What a wonderful idea!
    I did a blog about it if you’d like to have a peek. Thanks again for the inspiration.

  • Katie - 02/01/2012 - 6:22 pm

    A fabulous idea! I had 2 frozen sliced bananas in the fridge and just whipped them up with some peanut butter. It was good – but it ended up being a bit, shall we say sticky? a little stringy like bananas sometimes get? It was delicious and I had no problem eating it, but I was wondering if you had any tips for making it more creamy and less banana-y. Maybe a little milk?? Thanks in advance!ReplyCancel

Summer is a funny creature. I love it . . . I hate it. It’s busy. A man by the name of Russel Baker said it best, ” Ah, summer, what power you have to make us suffer and like it. “ I love the warmth of the sun, I hate the weeds, I love […]

    Yum! Those look so good. I’m going to have to find me some Bavarian Cream. Mmmmm. Just to read Bavarian Cream takes me back so many years when we could get Bavaian Cream Empinadas from Taco Time.

    Happy Birthday Jonna! It sounds wonderful with all of the deliciousness you had. Goodness, where can I get me some neighbors like that?! You are a beautiful and young looking over the hill +1!

    I’ve been MIA and haven’t commented in ages. I’ve loved all of your posts and especially enjoyed your guest blog over at Rhodes. Goondess gracious you blew us all out of the water with your faithful commentors! Good for you!

    Do you cook them uncovered?ReplyCancel

    • Jonna - 08/18/2012 - 3:08 pm

      Hi Kallie,

      I cover with foil for half of the baking time. The Lion house recipe doesn’t say whether to cover or not.
      I also lower the dish to the bottom of the oven for the last 15 or 20 minutes. It will brown the bottom nicely.

  • Tami - 09/02/2012 - 9:49 am

    I made these and even though they were “good”, I gotta say I like the “funeral potatoes” better. I guess I just prefer the taste of the condensed soup and sour cream over whipping cream.ReplyCancel

  • April - 09/10/2012 - 9:44 pm

    This looks yummy, can’t wait to try it, but I’m a little confused on adding the chicken/pork. You say to “mingle” it before you bake it. Does that mean add them to the dish and put everything in the over?ReplyCancel

    • Get Off Your Butt and BAKE! - 09/11/2012 - 12:11 pm

      Hi April,

      Once you brown your chicken or pork chops, just layer them in with the cut up potatoes. Pour the cream over the top of all of it, season and then add the grated cheese to the top. Cover with foil then bake!
      Oh Yum!

Rain. More rain. Windy and Cold. I’m not outside pulling weeds, mowing the lawn, taking long walks or running. I’m too big of a wimp to do all that in the rain and the cold and the wind. My house is cold, so I figured I might as well heat up the kitchen by making […]

    Those look beautiful! I on the other hand married a chocolate chip cookie SNOB. I spent the first 5 years of marriage perfecting the chocolate chip cookie, which I think we did! Crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside. Although, my kids have turned into chocolate chip cookie snobs now too. Help me!
    I personally would rather have an oatmeal raisin cookie, love the idea of putting chocolate chips in it! Thanks for sharing,

    • Jonna - 03/06/2012 - 8:55 pm

      Hi Debbie,
      Only the bottom crust is baked then cooled.
      The other mixtures are put on the crust then placed in the freezer.
      JonnaReplyCancel

  • Debbie - 03/08/2012 - 2:57 pm

    What about the egg whites in the mixture? Are they not cooked?ReplyCancel

    • Jonna - 03/09/2012 - 8:42 am

      Hi Debbie,

      The egg whites are beaten to make a meringue that is then folded into the whipped cream. The egg white of the egg, is really not a danger, but you could always use pasteurized eggs. If you do, I suggest using 1 extra egg white than what the recipe states.

      Making Egg White Meringue with Pasteurized Eggs:

      Pasteurized egg whites do not tend to get fluffy as easily as the unpasteurized egg whites in making meringue, but allowing them to warm to room temperature will help to counteract this tendency toward heaviness. Beaten pasteurized egg whites may never reach the volume of unpasteurized egg whites. If you need a specific volume of meringue, use more egg whites than the recipe calls for to make sure you have enough.
      Hope this helps,
      JonnaReplyCancel

    • Jonna - 04/12/2012 - 7:15 am

      Hi srestica,
      I do think mangoes work work as well. Mangoes will probably produce a bit more juice, so you might want to slightly reduce
      the amount added. It sounds yummy!

    Thank you for sharing your recipe and photos. My mom has always made me a dessert nearly the same (less lemon juice, more sugar) for my birthday for years now and I’m 51–never have gotten sick from those egg whites. Mom’s recipe is titled Frozen Strawberry Squares and she makes it in a 9 x 13 dish so yours must be delightfully, decadently thicker than what I remember of hers. Yumm!!! One thing I’d note for future readers is to not bother trying this recipe with Splenda substitutions. I did and won’t do it again either. Don’t mess with perfection. Thank you!!!ReplyCancel

    I have had this recipe for years and frequently make it for holiday get togethers. It is always a favorite. A few hints that I have discovered while making it. 1) Watch the nut topping carefully while it is browning as it overbrowns pretty easily. Also, you can use a package of frozen strawberries instead of fresh. It turns out great. Just let them partially defrost before using.ReplyCancel

  • Helena - 06/15/2013 - 9:43 am

  • Val - 01/11/2014 - 2:39 pm

    This looks very much like a recipe that my mom made, oh probably 35+ years ago! I was so little but I remember LOVING it. She doesn’t have the recipe anymore but she remembers making it. She new it had egg whites in it and I remembered it being a wonderful, frozen, strawberry dessert with the crumbly crust and, if I remember correctly, she used pecans, frozen in a loaf pan. I have wanted that for years! Thanks for posting!ReplyCancel

  • Holly - 07/17/2015 - 1:58 am

    This marinade sounds great. We just bought a grill so I’m looking for all kinds of ideas. Since we’re newbies I have to ask, what kind of beef did you use for the kabobs? How long do you cook them for?ReplyCancel

    • Jonna - 05/31/2011 - 6:25 pm

      Hi Christina,

      The steak you see in the pictures is Sirloin. Cheaper cuts of meat are also very good, as long as you let them marinate a good length of time.
      The longer they sit in the marinade, the more flavorful and tender it will be. Make sure that you cut your pieces against or across the grain of the steak. It makes a big difference in chew quality! As far as cooking time, it really depends of the size and thickness of your steaks or chunks for kabobs. Some also like rare! The steaks in the picture probably cooked about 4 minutes per side for medium.ReplyCancel

    I just made the cherry almond pound cake for a family dinner and it was so good. I am very excited to also try this. My husband loves grilling and barbecue, so I am sure we will use this quite a bit.ReplyCancel

    How would this marinade work on pork steaks? I’m going to try it!ReplyCancel

    • Jonna - 06/01/2011 - 9:48 am

      Hi Suzie,

      I’ve never tried this marinade on pork, but I do think it would be fabulous as well.
      Great idea, to marinate the pork steaks, and then grill then. They will be so tender!ReplyCancel

  • ChristaLaree - 06/01/2011 - 12:22 pm

    I also live in a place where it is not always sunny for grilling 🙂 The marinade sounds like a good basic marinade and the options for tweaking are limitless. Thanks!ReplyCancel

I simply can’t make this Pound Cake very often. Why? I will eat the entire cake. It’s that good! This would certainly brighten up a rainy Memorial Day. It’s even better when you cut into it. This recipe comes from my friend Kelly Jane.  She is . . . and has always been a fabulous […]

    This looks fantastic…. except I absolutely can not stand marashino cherries. Think it would work if substituted blueberries?ReplyCancel

    • Jonna - 06/02/2011 - 8:48 am

      Hey Niki,
      Yup . . . I’ve used blueberries and Raspberries and it’s also very good! The pound cake left alone or just glazed is also yummy.ReplyCancel

  • Katrina - 06/08/2011 - 9:00 pm

    Thank you so much for this recipe!!! I have made several variations of it this week. We started with a blueberry one, then cinnamon, next was chocolate chip (with a chocolate glaze), lemon and finally a cherry one. They turned out great. Thanks again for the recipe!ReplyCancel

  • Vicki - 06/09/2011 - 4:54 pm

    I am making this for my ladies night next Friday as it looks fab! Did you sift the cake flour or just if using AP flour? Also, if you make this a day or 2 ahead, does it get better (as some cakes do) or does it dry out?ReplyCancel

    • Jonna - 06/09/2011 - 5:47 pm

      Hi Vicki,

      I didn’t sift the cake flour, but if using All Purpose flour…I would sift it once for good measure.
      You can also make this the day before, and store it in a cake keeper, and it will stay moist & yummy!
      We love this pound cake. Let me know what you think

  • Jackie - 09/01/2011 - 7:45 am

    Hi

    I’m a little confused about the almonds, you have 3/4 cup chopped almonds and then you have 1chopped raw whole almonds? Also, you don’t mentioned in your written instructions when to add the cherries and almonds.ReplyCancel

    • Jonna - 09/04/2011 - 4:09 pm

      Hi Jackie
      Add 3/4 to 1 cup of chopped nuts. Fold the chopped cherries and nuts in the batter at the end, before spreading the yummy batter into your greased bundt pan.ReplyCancel

  • kaara - 10/31/2011 - 8:49 pm

    I tried this cake tonight to go along with the casarole. Everyone loved it! For some reason, I didn’t think it was as moist as pictured. I followed the directions, and baked it in a bunt pan but in a toaster convection oven. Is there any tips on gettig it moist?ReplyCancel

    • Jonna - 11/01/2011 - 9:18 am

      Hi Kaara,
      I’m pretty sure that it probably was caused from using a toaster oven. They are great, but don’t cook quite the same as a regular oven. I’ve never had this problem before. Possibly if using a toaster oven, pull it from the oven a bit quicker. As long as it didn’t go to waste….it was still a success!ReplyCancel

  • renee - 03/22/2016 - 10:40 am

    i’ve been using this recipe for 3 yrs now. and it’s still one of my favorites. whether i make 2 loafs or a bundt (my bundt is small, so i also use a mini loaf) the only change i make is, i started not bothering with the chopped nuts, and instead just chuck in a cupful of almond flour. sometimes, even put extra cherries. i do think the cake flour makes a difference and i also try and make sure i strain as much juice from the marachinos, or else they may sink.i have never bothered with the frosting. thanks for this recipe.ReplyCancel

    • Get Off Your Butt and BAKE - 03/23/2016 - 4:24 pm

      Hi Renee,

      This happens to be all four of my daughters favorite Cake as well.
      I’ll try cake flour, possibly a bit lighter!
      Thank you for dropping me a sweet note.

      Hi Missy,
      I do believe that she found the bright colored bowls at Macy’s.
      They were a nice surprise for Mothers Day. Right now Macy’s has tons of bright colored dishes.ReplyCancel

  • Chantri Keele - 05/24/2011 - 9:31 am

    Oh they look SO Cute mom!! I am glad you like them. And Yes, Macy’s is where they are at. There are several colors shapes and sizes— too much fun!!
    You know I love me some cupcakes… I wouldn’t be opposed if Dad dropped some off! Lol. I’m thinking even if I ate more than…. say 3… (or more) it doesn’t matter– my body is off the charts huge right now anyways!! pray for the next 2-3 weeks to go by FAST!! 😉 Then I’m boycotting your website to get into shape… I don’t have good enough self control and I don’t hold up to temptation too well when it comes to sweets! Love you so much, you are amazing!!ReplyCancel

    Hi. How many mini-cupcakes will this recipe make? Your comment said eighteen, but that can’t be correct, as the minis are way smaller than the standard. Thank you!ReplyCancel

I really shouldn’t have made these today. I’m weak . . . weak . . . weak. These Vanilla Sugar Butterballs are filled with creamy Milk Chocolate ganache and rolled in Vanilla Sugar.  If you look closely, you’ll see that I also rolled some of the cookies in confectioners sugar as well.  Either way .

      Jeanne,
      You are right! That’s the one. One side of the book is vanilla recipes, and you flip it over and the other side is Chocolate.
      Thanks so much.

    I have always admired everyone’s macaroon’s, but have never been daring enough to try. And I haven’t actually ever eaten one…but I’m sure I’d love them. Salted banana caramel filling! Wow!

    Congrats to the winner!!ReplyCancel

  • Yvonne @ TriedandTasty.com - 05/16/2011 - 9:28 pm

    I’ve missed you! Sorry you had Bronchitis, that’s no good! You are getting so good with the macaroons, some day I will attempt them! I’m getting better with my Silpat, I think the first run was practice gone wrong, ever since the cookies have turned out fabulous :). Welcome back, looking forward to more yummy posts!ReplyCancel

    I love Anne’s recipe! I was lucky enough to see her macaron show and got so inspired to try it myself. I got “off my butt”:) and bought all the ingredients after her show and made 2 batches of macaron the following day. I could not believe how easy it was! I was jumping up and down and screaming…my kids thought we won the lottery. They were the most perfect looking macaron and so yummy! So, after that beginner’s luck day, I was on a roll and decided to bake some more…but lo and behold, I failed miserably. 🙁 I didn’t do anything different. Followed exactly everything but my macarons didn’t have feet & cracked on top. All ten batches that I made (I kept trying and adjusting after every mishap) went straight to the trash. What do you think I’m doing wrong? When you measure your almond flour & confectioner’s sugar, do you pack them down? I’m thinking maybe my measurements are off? Please help, I will appreciate any advice. Thank you!ReplyCancel

    • Jonna - 05/31/2011 - 5:10 pm

      Hi Lynn,

      I’m so glad that you had success the first time. It motivates us to try try again! Here are a few things that might be making a difference. Make sure that you sift the almond flour combined with the confectioners together before adding to the whipped egg whites. Once you begin adding that mixture to the whipped egg whites, don’t overfold. Look for that “ribbon stage.” You can look at my other Macaron tutorials for pictures that might also help. I have only used Anne’s recipe one time. I still prefer the other recipe that you measure carefully by grams. Make sure that if you are coloring your macarons, that you use gel or powdered food coloring …..not liquid. I also let my piped macarons sit on top of the counter for at least one whole hour. You want them very dry before baking, this will help the feet form. I also place my baking sheet (one at a time) in the center of the oven. Don’t throw them out . . . just eat them ugly. They will still taste good!!ReplyCancel

    I just got a hand mixer for my birthday, and the first recipe that I made with it was this! and they turned out really well! I just made them last night, so I haven’t had a chance to try them yet, but they look amazing they even came out with the feet!ReplyCancel
