Ice Cream made from Bananas?


It looked too easy - ice cream made from four frozen bananas processed in the food processor until it became smooth and creamy.  Add a scoop of peanut butter, some cocoa powder and it's done.

I tried it with 2 of my kids.  They loved pulsing the food processor, and of course, licking off the spoons!  End result looks just like the picture above, and tastes pretty good for fat-free, low sugar ice cream!  I would add some mini chocolate chips or some chocolate sauce to mask a bit of the banana flavour, but it's a quick, easy dessert that we will enjoy again!

Baked Onion Rings

These Baked Onion Rings looked delicious.

I didn't have bread crumbs, so I ground up some Rice Krispies, along with the Corn Flakes.  Added a bit of seasonings, and they turned out quite well.  Two things I would have done differently:
  1. I let them bake a little too long because I wanted the onions to be soft and cooked, not raw and crunchy.  As a result, they ended up a little too crispy.
  2. I sliced them using the widest setting on my mandoline slicer, but I think they still ended up too skinny.  I'll have to cut them  by hand last time.
Will definitely make again!
