I recently received the new Southern Living Annual Recipes cookbook for 2009 in the mail.  I was really excited – I LOVE Cookbooks!  So I settled down for what I hoped would be a good read with a cup of tea and cracked open the book.  I have to say that I was wishing that there were photos of every recipe, like some of the other cookbooks that I get.  It is hard to get excited over a recipe if there is no photo of it!  I’m sure there are lots of great recipes in there, but I’m not sure that I’ll spend a lot of time looking for them there.  Because of that I don’t think I’ll order next year’s cookbook!  That baby cost $40 and I don’t know how much use it will get!

Having said that, however, there was a great looking recipe in it for nutter butter banana trifle that I thought I’d like to send to my mom – she loves trifles and she loves nutter butter cookies!  I thought about photocopying it and faxing it to her, but then I decided to do a search online and found the recipe online.  If you are interested in seeing it, you can go to this site:
