Banana Bars with Cream Cheese frosting
These banana bars are my all-time favorite. They’re so moist and delicious. The cream cheese frosting on top goes with the banana bars perfectly.

Mmm, I love watermelon in salad! This could quickly become a main-course salad with a bit of grilled shrimp on top.
Yum! I just recently made watermelon feta bites with watermelon, feta, balsamic vinegar and mint! It was refreshing and delicious!
Very refreshing with watermelon. Great for our humid weather here. Cool~
I’ve been really into watermelon + feta combos lately. I am sure this salad was phenomenal (because goat cheese rocks!) 😀
Yay for watermelon day! I love watermelon and feta, but haven’t tried it with goat cheese… I’m sure it’s just as fabulous. This salad is so pretty!
