I started watching Suits and I love it. I planned on it being my workout show and it was working out okay at first, but then one night my foot was bothering me and nothing was on that we wanted to watch so… I put Suits on. Bad idea, because I got the Mr hooked on it and now I can’t use that as my workout show or he’ll be bummed I watched without him.

It’s a good show. You should watch it if you haven’t yet. Free via Amazon Prime!

But because I’m now out a workout show, I want your suggestions. Any amazing shows I need to catch up on? Preferably that are available on Amazon since we don’t do Netflix streaming.

Also, I’d really like to stop complaining about the weather. So if someone could please let Mother Nature know that it’s May… nearly June even and it should be bright sunny and warm, that’d be awesome.

I’m ready for it. You know…sun, warmth and Summer like days, even though technically we have weeks to go before that’s official. I’m over the early Spring like weather. Agree?

I have other recipes ready to share with you and I was *this* close to sharing something totally different, but then I couldn’t. I really wanted to share this one. It was so good I couldn’t wait. You need it in your life. And because the weekend will be here before we know it, that means brunching and snacking and hanging out with friends and family so… you need a great recipe for all of that! So, here you go!

Super moist banana bundt cake with sweetened shredded coconut throughout. This flavorful cake is then topped off with a tart lime glaze and a sprinkle of zest. By far one of my favorite banana dishes to date.

If you love banana baked goods, then you definitely need this coconut banana bundt cake in your life.
