S'mores ... you can never go wrong with chocolate, marshmallows, and graham crackers. Delicious!!

Yet, growing up I always had them around a campfire and never made them inside my home before. Therefore, I looked up a "How To" so I wouldn't ruin it, especially since my daughter loves marshmallows.

Here is Hershey's directions on how to make S'mores using a microwave :
  1. On a small saucer, place half a HERSHEY'S Milk Chocolate Bar on top of one-half of a HONEY MAID Honey Graham. Add one large JET-PUFFED Marshmallow.
  2. Cook in your microwave on medium for about 10-15 seconds or until marshmallows puff and grow.
  3. An adult should remove the plate from the microwave, top with the other graham half and gently press down on the gooey marshmallow. Let cool a bit before eating.

Classic Banana Bread | Cooking Light Cookbook - Take #1

To read the full Classic Banana Bread recipe click here. This was my first time making this version of Banana Bread.

My Attempt/Success with this Recipe :

Recipe/Ingredients Changes : I'd have loved to make it the way my cookbook stated but 1) I enjoy mixing by hand therefore I don't own a mixer and 2) I didn't have enough ripe bananas as it asked for (I only had 2 bananas) so I added more yogurt in hopes of balancing it out.

  • Instead of 1 1/2 cups mashed ripe banana I used 3/4 cup mashed ripe banana
  • Instead of plain low-fat yogurt all I had to use Dannon Light & Fit Vanilla Flavored Yogurt
  • Instead of just 1/3 cup yogurt I added an additional 1/2 cup Dannon Light & Fit Vanilla Flavored Yogurt




My Family's Verdict :

My Food Critic Hubby's Thoughts : Said it was good ... only really wished that I added nuts into it.

My Thoughts : I liked it but with all that vanilla (because of my yogurt choice) it's more of a Vanilla Banana Bread than actual Banana Bread. I'd have no problem making it this way again.

My 3-year-old Daughter's Thoughts : When I asked her she said, "Yes. I just love some and I finished mine."

My 1-year-old Son : Had no problem eating it up. =0)

Raw Almond Banana "Ice Cream"



Encase the above post ever disappears here is what Eat Clean. Train Mean. Live Green. wrote: Raw Almond Banana "Ice Cream." All you do is blend up 2 frozen bananas and then add in a tablespoon of raw almond butter (you need to make the almond butter separately.. or purchase it). Either way, blend up 2 frozen bananas with your favorite nut butter of choice (to taste). You can also add in raw cacao powder or nibs to create a chocolate banana nut butter "ice cream." I also love to sprinkle my "ice cream" with unsweetened coconut flakes and chopped nuts. You can literally use frozen bananas to create a wide variety of different flavored "ice creams." Other options include: Cinnamon, sprinkles, vanilla, cherries, vegan chocolate chips, vegan marshmallows, granola, rolled oats, fresh or puréed strawberry..

As of December 7, 2014 :: I have yet to try this but it sounded good enough to share. If you end up trying it please let me know how it turned out!

How Many Did It Make : In total I was able to make 22 cookies with the ingredients provided and making the cookies a little smaller then the suggested tablespoon size.


My Family's Verdict :

My Food Critic Hubby's Thoughts : Poor guy can't eat them/try them because he's on the Paleo Diet and this recipe has 2 ingredients that he's not able to eat (oats and peanut butter).

My Thoughts : Yummy and good. However, not very tasty if the chocolates aren't included (as I had a bite without some and it wasn't as good).

My 2-year-old Daughter's Thoughts : Thought they were yummy and kept asking for more!
