Bananas - revisited


I love the creaminess and texture of ice cream. Don't you? I've found that one pretty good alternative is frozen overripe bananas. Peal, wrap in plastic wrap, and throw in the freezer. So, next time you're tempted to make banana bread, think banana popsicles. You can even dip a frozen banana in some Hershey's chocolate syrup for a low-cal indulgence. Very satisfying.

Speaking of indulgences, on date night last night, we ordered a cheese plate with three slices of gorgeous Italian cheeses. I skipped the bread, but ate the grapes and cheese and felt like a goddess.

  1. Date night sounds like a delight! Date night with cheese, even better! :)

  2. Have you ever tried them roasted? They are de-lish. Leave the peel on, cut it lengthwise. Fill with choc chips(the dark healthy ones of course) Close and wrap in foil. Put it on an open fire or grill...turn and when hot...enjoy. yum

  4. I heard that if you put frozen bananas in a food processor, some weird chemical phenomenon occurs and it turns out kinda like ice cream. I haven't tried it yet, but I'm gonna.
