Chocolate ‘Ice Cream’

July 20, 2011 by KerryAnn 12 Comments

I am always looking for ways to make my kids think they’re getting a treat without using a lot of sugar or carbs. This fit the bill perfectly.

A recipe is making its rounds on the blogosphere and I saw it on Pinterest.  A frozen banana mixed with a little cocoa powder and peanut butter in the food processor until smooth and it comes out like ice cream.

Boy, does it!

I peeled my ripe bananas, broke them into chunks and stashed them in a zip-top bag in the freezer last night.  This afternoon I put 3 bananas, 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder and about 1 Tbs of peanut butter in the food processor and I ran it on high speed until smooth and creamy.  It’s perfect.  They think I made ice cream!!  It bought me 20 minutes of silence.  😀  I told them it would take up their daily piece of fruit instead of them eating the banana fresh and they’re not complaining.  It comes out very thick.

Other blogs are saying you can do it with the banana and peanut butter alone, or even just with the banana alone.  I’ll try multiple variations.  You might even be able to squeeze an avocado in there and them not know it.

Vacation Killers: Ice Cream

June 2, 2011 by KerryAnn 6 Comments

It’s that time of year again.  It’s HOT this week and quite miserable.  I was looking at the national weather last night and I noticed that areas of the US will be hitting 100 degrees in the next few days, and much of the Southeast and Southwest will be in the 90s.  I was supposed to be spending this weekend at the beach with my hubby, attending a conference, while mom watched the kids.  But a childhood illness has stopped that weekend getaway from happening.  We’re now parked at home, nursing her fever until she is no longer contagious.  I needed that vacation, I haven’t had one since 2005 and this vacation wasn’t movable since it’s connected to a conference.  It was all already paid for, too.  I’m so very disappointed.

It’s unseasonably warm here in the mountains of NC.  Miserably so.  Yesterday we were over 90 degrees.  And it’s predicted we’ll be having thunderstorms on top of the heat.  So in honor of the hot and muggy weather and my cancelled vacation, it’s time to break out a big bowl of ice cream and sit on the porch to eat it.  I’ll be making mine with chocolate chips and crispy nuts.  Every disappointed girl needs a little chocolate.  Here’s my vanilla ice cream recipe, wayyy back from one of the first Menu Mailers in 2007.

If you’re looking for a quick, dairy-free ice cream that only takes three minutes, check our recipe for banana, chocolate or peanut butter ‘ice cream.’ [Read more…] about Vacation Killers: Ice Cream
