(I still DO NOT like banana bread... but my family still does.  A pintrest find.  I think I like this recipe better than the other one.  It's more moist.  I baked the 4 mini loaves for about 35 minutes and then inserted a toothpick.)

2 Tbsp Olive Oil

2 Garlic Cloves, minced
2 Cups Heavy Cream

1/4 tsp Pepper 

1/2 Cup Parmesan Cheese

1 Cup Mozzarella Cheese

 Directions:
Melt butter in medium saucepan with olive oil over medium heat, sauté garlic.  Add cream and pepper and bring mixture to a simmer.  Stir often.  Add the parmesan cheese and simmer sauce for 8-10 minutes or until sauce has thickened and is smooth.  When sauce has thickened add the Mozzarella cheese and stir until smooth. STIR FREQUENTLY.

 

(Internet find... when I needed to add more Alfredo sauce to pasta and didn't want to run to the store... I also didn't have any parmesan cheese and just used mozzarella.  It was delicious, but I will use parmesan when I make this again.  And I will make this again. On the day of this photo, I paired it with penne pasta, broccoli and chicken.)

Add all ingredients (mix 1/2 c of the heavy cream & cornstarch together and add to the ingredients.) to a crock pot on low for 5-6 hours.   Add sour cream and  heavy cream about 1-2 hours before serving.  Enjoy!

(Delicious soup recipe from the Hansen family.  Bishop serves this to our YSA ward during General Conference parties.  They graciously shared the original recipe AND their awesome personalization of the recipe.  I recorded it exactly as I made it, so that I could re-create it again... and again... and again!)
