banana smoothies!
such a simple refined sugar free drink I started making when I was on a special diet ages ago.
Now I put a banana, yogurt, soy milk and a scoop of Vega powder and get a power drink way more nutritious than Boost or any other meal replacement/supplement
I'm wondering about frozen bananas. Fried? What the heck is a baked alaska?
I'll probably have a banana split tomorrow too.

bananas with a lollipop inside sounds very intriguing.
thanks for the alaska recipe, minks. I'd have to gather just about everything on that list from the store. The main problem is keeping the ice cream in the freezer long enough to bake it. lol
