I would not describe myself as a cook or really as person who has a talent for it. I love eating and I like the Food Network/Cooking channel but it is something I have ever done or have had an interest in doing. For the past few days I have been out of work due to sickness. I have wanted to take some time off of work but this was not the way I had planned on taking it. The first day was great, the second day was boring and by the third day I would have rather been at work. I was perusing the internet when I found a recipe that looked like even I could make and even better was the person had documented it on their blog. I decided right then and there that I was going to make Frosted Banana Bars and document my attempt. It was an interesting process to say the least.

I was at the Doctor’s office when I originally decided to do this and after an hour at the pharmacy (you know those times when they don’t call your name and try to argue with you that they did) I did not want to drive home and back to the store. I basically went to the store blind and bought brand new of everything that I was positive I have. I had bananas, eggs and vanilla extract. Thankfully, most of this stuff was cheap so it’s not like I broke the bank but for the future I have flour, sugar , baking powder and confectioner’s sugar. My first task besides getting the ingredients was to preheat the oven. Easy enough:

I actually really loved this cake. It was not a dense as a banana bread but it wasnt a very airy cake. I will say one thing, it is so moist. I actually had some the next day and it was crazy moist a day later. I actually enjoyed making this cake just as much as I enjoyed eating it. Maybe there is some more cooking in my future?
