"as ya'll know, the fellas come over ever thursday's for guys night.  they take turns ordering food each night, but i usually have some type of treat waiting for them when they get here. one of the guys justin, loves snickerdoodles cookies, which is usually his request.  the rest of the guys just want dessert and can careless what it is!  i like to use them as guinea pigs on dessert recipes for po' man meals.  i could not really think of what to make them.  i didn't really feel like making cookies, well, i really never 'feel' like cookies.  so cookies were out of the question. as usual, i started thinking about things we have around the house.  for fruit, we had some apples and bananas. for nuts, all we had were almonds.  icing?  i have cream cheese!  yes!  let's do a banana almond cake with cream cheese icing.  so i said, 'fellas, hold on to your butts and pray it works!'  and it surely did.  it was not like the doughy texture of banana nut bread, but very light and moist.  it really reminded me of carrot cake.  the boys loved it and so did i.  and the kids.  :)  ..."
