Home-cooked food always seems to taste better than any of the ready-made, store bought variety types, especially when it comes to delicious desserts. The big downside is that baking can be tricky, time consuming and certain recipes are super hard to pull off and get it just right!

It can also take a long time to cook up something delicious and flavorful from scratch. In today’s busy non-stop world, between working all day, getting stuck in traffic or taking care of kids, the motivation is simply not always there for most of us. That is what makes crock pots so convenient and easy. They make cooking homemade meals quick, easy, and almost effortlessly.

All you have to do is toss a bunch of ingredients into the pot, set the timer, and let it cook slowly for a couple hours! You can go about your day and when the food is ready it’ll be warm and waiting, it’s perfect! If you’re looking for a really tasty and filling crock pot dessert recipe this quick and easy banana cake is sure to please all types of palettes.

Plus, you can use up those old bananas laying around and satisfy your sweet tooth at the same time. Unlike many other cakes made from scratch, this one requires little time or effort on your part. Here’s a list of all the ingredients it calls for:

1 ¾ cup plain flour – 2 tablespoons baking powder – ½ teaspoon salt – ¼ teaspoon baking soda – 1/3 cup of butter or margarine – 2/3 cup sugar – 1/2 cup chopped walnuts – 2 eggs, well beaten – 2 tablespoons dark corn syrup – 3 ripe bananas well mashed

Gather all the ingredients and start by beating the two eggs in a bowl. Place the peeled ripe bananas in a separate bowl and mash them up with a fork. In a medium sized bowl sift the flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda into it.

Mix the sugar and butter together in yet another bowl so that they form a creamy consistency and then stir in the corn syrup, eggs, and bananas. Finally, add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix them all together very well.

Grease up the inside bowl of the slow cooker with a coating of butter and then place a generous amount of flour inside. Tip it all around so that the flour sticks to the butter and completely coats the inside, this will prevent the cake from sticking and make the removal a lot easier.

Place the banana bread batter into the floured and buttered crock pot and cover it with the lid. Cook times may vary depending on your crock pot.You’ll know it’s done when you stick a toothpick in the middle of the cake and it comes out clean.

If there is cake batter sticking to the pick, continue cooking a little longer or until it comes up clean. Allow the cake to cool before removing, it should slide right out when you turn the cooker upside down but you may have to run a butter knife around the edge to help ease it out.

How you decide to serve the banana cake is all up to you. Cream cheese frosting pairs well with it, as do chopped nuts, a sprinkling of brown sugar, whipped cream, or fresh berries. Really any toppings and additions will work, or none at all because it tastes yummy all on its own!

Pass this delicious banana cake slow cooker recipe along and help add a little more sweetness, and convenience, to the lives of your friends and family. Bon Appétit!

A man in Bourbon, Kansas died a terrifying death 6 months ago, which completely stunned all his doctors, who had no explanation for what had caused his rapid demise and untimely death.  It is just now, that the cause has been revealed.

There is a new virus that is being transmitted through ticks, that is just starting to hit the U.S.A. Because the disease is viral, there is not an antibiotic that can treat it (as is the case with all viruses such as lyme disease), and as such is posing a scary threat to the health and well being of people in this location.

According to the infectious disease experts studying this, nothing like this has ever been seen in the Western hemisphere.  Its genome is similar to diseases seen in Eastern Europe, Africa and Asia!

Because the man who died lived in Bourbon County, Kansas they have named this rare illness the Bourbon virus which the infectious disease authorities believe is being carried by ticks. There is still tons of research that urgently needs to be done before researchers can even begin get a handle on how this strange virus appeared and why it just recently showed up for the very first time in the west!

It is being studied intensively to determine what in the genome caused the anorexia, severe muscle pain and an unreasonably high fever that was totally untreatable and ultimately led to this man’s death. Let us know your thoughts after watching the video below!

THIS Guy Thought He Was Reeling In His First Fish of The Day. But Watch THIS Water Underneath Closely!

image via – youtube.com

Fishing for largemouth bass is a hugely popular sport in The United States of America. Each year it draws an estimated thirty million people to the banks of fresh water ponds, rivers, ponds, and lakes. What makes largemouth bass fishing so appealing to many is that the big fish will make you work hard to catch em’ and fight you every step of the way to the very last second!

When a giant bass takes the bait it is not an easy reel em’ in kind of job, it is more like a prepare for a mega battle type of situation. The bass will do all sorts of tricks, maneuvers and techniques to attempt to get away! Many will even fling their slippery oily bodies into the air in a desperate last chance attempt to escape from the Fisherman’s hook.

This is why so many fishermen and anglers love casting their lines in the hope that a mythically largemouth bass will grab the bait and thus bring a once in a lifetime experience into their day!

To see exactly how powerful, agile aggressive and big-mouthed these bass are, watch the accompanying video of one in action. The video was caught by an unknown fisherman who was using bait to tempt and lure the aquatic beasts at a deep green fishing water hole.

He reels the tinier fish along the top of the water and then suddenly a giant blurry monster can be seen moving up out of the depths from below the waters surface. Moments later the huge fish appears, mouth open wide, and devours the poor little baitfish swallowing it whole in one bite. And this is why they are known as largemouth bass..

There was no hesitation on the fish’s part in going in for the tasty treat because they are the apex predator of these waters. When you are at the top of the food chain it means that only humans can catch them, and even then most of the largemouth bass that are reeled in end up getting released back into the waters.

Many of the larger ones are breeding females and it’s common practice to release them because they are the future of the sport and sustainability is key. It’s both morally and culturally looked down upon to keep a huge female fish and to do so goes against the unspoken rule of bass fishing!

Also, in many locations it is also illegal to take fish of a certain size. Plus, their meat is not really good to eat. It’s kind of fishy, slimy and mushy. It is not as high a quality compared to the other fish it lives with in its habitat, that you can catch just as easily. So if the one in this video was caught, it was likely also released.

Have You Ever Spotted THIS Small Hole Above Someone’s Ear? THIS Is The Strange Reason Why It’s There!

image via – facebook.com

If you have ever noticed that somebody has a tiny hole above their ear, that looks like it could be a misplaced dimple, you may have just thought that it was from some weird type of piercing. However, what you actually spotted is a body feature that is a naturally occurring mutation in some humans. And while the little hole is not all that common in The United States, it is more prevalent than you’d imagine it to be!

Those tiny holes are best known as preauricular sinuses and they are located right around the junction where the top of the external ear cartilage meets the face. They are considered a birth defect and get passed down from one generation to the next and so on..

The tiny holes can show up on 1 or both ears, with the right ear being the more common site. Usually they are harmless, but just like any other types of sinuses, they can sometimes become infected and require treatment and antibiotics. Some may also form cysts and in rare cases draining or removal is the best option.

Why the holes are there in the first place and for what purpose remains mostly quite the mystery. The video mentions an interesting theory put forth by Neil Shubin, an evolutionary biologist, who thinks that these holes could very well be an ‘evolutionary remnant of fish gills left over’. It’s an interesting theory and makes complete sense, but there could just as easily be another explanation for the strange holes!

The chances of a person being born with a preauricular sinus dimple varies across geographical and ethnic lines. Researchers in Korea found that the small dents are most common among Asian and African populations, where between 4-10% of the population may have them.

In comparison, less than 1% of Americans and people born in the U.K. are affected, which is way less. In Ethiopia, these small holes are considered lucky to have because they’re believed to bring people abundance, riches, money and wealth!

If you didn’t know what those strange ear holes were before, now you know the basics about the auricular sinus. Please pass this article on and help pass it along so that more people can learn about them and be informed!

Woman Rubs Alcohol On THIS $50 Bill. What She Reveals Is The Most UNTHINKABLE Surprise!

image via – facebook.com

Printed U.S.A. money has been around for 100’s of years, starting in 1690 when the Massachusetts Bay Colony issued its very first paper currency. For the next 173 years there were many types of different monies being printed and used throughout The USA which inevitably led to mass confusion and the rapid rise of counterfeit, or fake, currency and bills!

Recognizing the urgent need for a unified and one national monetary system, President Lincoln signed the National Banking Act in 1863 that established the federal dollar as The United States of America’s 1 and only official currency. However, this did not deter scammers in their attempts to beat the unified system and to this day fake money and currency is being made and put into circulation.

There are all sorts of sophisticated ways to both produce and detect counterfeit money. The most common detection method used by stores is the counterfeit detection pen that you often see cashiers swiping on money. They are looking to see if a black mark appears, if one does the bill is fake, and no black mark means it’s real.

The government is always changing up it’s security features to keep ahead of sophisticated fakes. They use color changing ink, embedded security strips, watermarks, micro-writing, and more to make it as hard as possible to copy and reproduce fake bills.

Even so, many people who try to pass fake money are successful because people accepting it rarely look closely at cash they are given and don’t know what to be looking for. In this video you can see what a counterfeit $50 bill looks like.

It was recorded in Vietnam and at first glance there is nothing inherently obvious that would raise suspicions, especially if it was passed to someone who is not familiar with which US president goes on what denomination bill.

That is the main giveaway in the video, as the dollar amounts in all four corners and the written amount were coated to change them from 10 to 50. When the woman applies rubbing alcohol to the money the coating starts to dissolve away and underneath the real $10 bill is revealed.

This goes to show that even simple, fake, counterfeit bills can easily be manipulated to look quite exact and real, especially when an actual lower denomination one is used as the base. People in other countries would have no clue that it’s a fake and even in the US a cashier who is busy and going through the motions likely wouldn’t catch it!

While there is little that the average person can do about this, it’s always a good idea to keep your eyes on your money, and if you ever do spot counterfeit money report it and don’t try to pass it on!

What Is Your Strongest Brain Power?

A word cloud is a mash up of a variety of related words that are presented jumbled close together in different size and colored fonts. They are excellent indicators of how a person uses their brain and how they they think, and thus can reveal what someones greatest mental strength is.

When a person is given such a cloud, and is asked to describe all the similar words in just one word, how they perceive and narrow them all down is very revealing about what’s going on inside their head. The thousands of conscious and unconscious, minute calculations, thoughts, feelings, and reactions that are speeding through the mind and brain all lead to one choice and final decision.

The culmination of a series of choices can be used to figure out what type of mental strength the person making them has. All of this centers around the human brain. There are two sides to every brain; the left side and the right side. Each one is associated with different abilities, strengths, weaknesses, ways of thinking, and other similar types of attributes. The following is a general breakdown of the characteristic that each side is connected with:

Left-brain dominant people are said to be more analytical, objective, and logical thinkers. They’re good at solving math and similar types of logic-oriented problems, which often leads to them quickly learning and excelling at new things. They like to delve deep into scientific pursuits and plan things out in advance, making to-do lists and checking up on their progress as they go.

In comparison, right-brain dominant people are more creative and expressive thinkers. They have strong imaginations and approach problems or issues with different, alternative types of solutions. They tend to be more spontaneous and emotional and often act on their feelings and intuition. Since they are more expressive they excel at artistic pursuits like painting and music.

People often self identify as either a left-brain thinker or a right-brain thinker, depending on which side they match up more with, in terms of the traits they believe they exhibit. Yet how your brain is truly wired can better be determined through less biased means.

This cognitive psychology word/visual association test can quickly reveal what your strongest brain power is, as well as what your dominant brain side is. The results are spot on and may surprise you. Try it out now by pressing the “Let’s Play!” button and remember to pass it onto your friends and family so y’all can compare results.

Only 10% Of People Can Find All 9 Faces In This Painting. How Many Did You Find?

Take a look at these images and test your powers of perception. If you can’t believe your eyes or get stumped, it’s because you’re looking at five optical illusions. By definition, illusions are images and sights which strongly disagree with physical reality.

When we suddenly realize that not all is as it appears, our brains light up, forcing us to pay extra attention to whatever it is that seems to be playing tricks on our eyes. It’s our brains that interpret and make sense of all the incoming sights and people love looking at optical illusions because they’re new challenges for us to figure out.

According to Aude Oliva, a cognitive research scientist at MIT, “Anything that is new and surprising is something we naturally like because it means that we may learn something from it.” It’s no wonder so many of us enjoy illusions, and the ones here are no exception!

Here’s a little background information about the interesting visual phenomenons we experience. When it comes to optical illusions, they are all about the eyes, our brain, and perception. Specifically, the eyes visually perceive an image which the brain then processes as either not fitting in line with or matching the stimulus source that it’s emanating from.

In other words, it is when you look at something and end up seeing something else that is completely different. You look at X but think you’re seeing Y. There are many different types of illusions and optical ones, also known as visual illusions, happen to be the most well known sub-category.

To experience some right now, check out the images below. They’re a fun way to exercise your mind and fool your senses, so have fun and enjoy!

THIS Dog Holds Bread Under Her Mouth At The Lake. What She Pulls Out Of The Water Is UNTHINKABLE!

image via – youtube.com

There are lots of smart dogs out there in the world and one of them is named Rani. She is a lovable Golden Retriever who happens to also be a service dog in training. She was undoubtedly picked for the profession because of her intelligence, as she’s clearly one smart puppy. Beyond brains, Rani also possesses a few other key qualities that will make her a great service dog one day, patience and focus.

Those two things are on display in this awesome footage of her fishing. Yes, that last line is correct. She enjoys fishing and, as you can see in this video clip, she’s really good at it! According to the information provided by her owner on the post, she has “caught dozens of fish as well as some turtles.”

That’s quite an impressive feat for a dog who can’t even use a pole or net. Instead, Rani uses bread as bait to lure unsuspecting fish closer to her. She wades chest deep into the water and then sits completely still and as motionless as possible. The bread floats soggily on the surface all around, right under her nose and mouth, as she intently stares down into the water below.

Then, when the time is just right, she expertly snatches a fish right out of the water with one lightning quick move. She is a better fisherdog than any of the fishermen I know!

In this clip she ended up catching a bluegill and she is pleased as punch about it. Right after she snagged it a woman’s voice can be heard in the background saying “She got one, it’s a big one.” Then Rani walks back along the dock, proudly swishing her fluffy tail as she goes, with her catch securely held in her mouth. What a sweet, smart, beautiful dog!
