Last night we held a very special Christmas dinner with our close friends. I feel so blessed to be a part of the San Antonio community. Just to think a year ago we celebrated our first christmas in the house that we bought together and now it has become a place where all of our best friends meet for dinner parties and share memories and laughs over a bottle of wine. I am cherishing this Christmas and the simplicity of our sweet home that we have worked so hard on because future Christmases will most definitely be filled with the pitter patter of little baby feet, messy faces from licking the cookie batter, and squeals of excitement from all of the Christmas cheer. This has been a beautiful holiday season and I am grateful to have a husband that is so wonderful to share it with. One of my favorite ways to celebrate the season is to BAKE!!! Joanne came in from Ft Worth and we had so much fun baking together and getting all of the recipes ready for this fun dinner! Obviously from my blog you may notice that I have an obsession with bundt cakes?? I think Bundt cakes are so awesome because they are SO easy and turn out so pretty. This cake was created from a fabulous blogger Shay Shull, and I created this recipe to share last night and it was a major hit. Bananas Foster is mine and Brandon's all time favorite dessert and i just HAD to make it :) Enjoy!
