It’s February 23rd and what a day to celebrate bananas! Our bodies love them and they are especially good for our hearts providing an excellent source of potassium, maintaining normal blood pressure and keeping all in order. They also provide fiber thus keeping our cholesterol in check. Only 100 calories they are the real deal!

YUM!!!!

Here’s a recipe for your baking pleasure..

Didn’t want to retype this for fear of loosing an ingredient. Also, can add some walnuts for a little more nutrition.

Enjoy!

Extra Vegetables

In my quest to increase my vegetable consumption I have discovered vegetable meatballs. It came quite by accident as I tired of looking at the veggie burgers in my freezer. It’s not that I don’t like veggie burgers rather there was a good sale and I purchased way too many of them and needed a new creation for my palate.

I defrosted the veggie burgers threw in an egg and combined them into little balls. After tossing them into a crock pot filled with pasta sauce, {or as the Bronx Italians call it – “gravy”’}, they were sublime.  I placed this delicious fare over a bowl full of angel pasta.

Perhaps the angels work enhanced this fare? Regardless, give it a try and see what your little cherubs think of it. Maybe it will even bring them back to the faith.
