N.. Ice Cream....Summer preview!

We hit a record high yesterday for February! It was 75 degrees F. and Fantastic!!! Homeschooling is great on days we can play outside! (Well and almost every other day!) So i had a bazillion bananas get ripe because if i buy two they eat them before we get home, if i buy 20..... i throw them away. Anyhow, i got proactive and peeled and froze them before they got really gross. So i made nice cream. pretty run of the mill recipe. nothing exciting. added strawberries and "milk" to frozen bananas yesterday, then little chocolate chips (all dairy free of course!). And today this... i looked online for cake better flavored things and came up with this based on a few.


Cake Batter Nice Cream


5 frozen bananas
vanilla (about a tablespoon)
milk (just enough to blend thick. though a smoothie would be good too, add more!)
melted dairy free butter (1/4 cup)
coconut flour (about 1/4 cup)
sprinkles (optional)
a big spoonful of cashew butter (probably a big tablespoon) (or any butter, or none)
dash of salt

blend everything except sprinkles (if using). i blended the sprinkles.... turned funky brownish and the kids said what am i chewing.... lesson learned. ENJOY! you could always add protein powder or potentially mild vegetables... but i felt like a treat. :) my son's blood work came back exceptionally high for milk and beef (which considering.... isn't a problem. it's just hard to avoid the various forms of milk.)


And now i have nothing for dinner. my husband's idea to save money is to not really grocery shop until we are out of EVERYTHING (like including spices and dried goods, i believe). No one is appreciating the magic i am performing to come up with some special dinners.... of course.... remember the post about getting your kids (or husband) to eat anything... psh... Also, my son told the dance teacher i bought "fake" Irish dance shoes off of Amazon and not the "real ones". So i'm still embarrassed. Which of course, warrants treats (even somewhat healthy ones). What did i do.... Smile :) haha... Moral: teach your kids to lie
