As part of my healthy living plan, I had to find some new recipes. One that I stumbled across online has become my absolute favorite treat, and it is so easy to make. And you also only need one ingredient– Bananas.

Soft-Serve Banana Ice Cream

Peel and slice ripe bananas. I plan on just over one banana per person when I make this. Place the slices on a sheet tray covered in wax or parchment paper. Place them into the freezer.

A few hours later, once the bananas are well frozen, take them out, place them into a food processor or blender, and process them until it resembles soft serve ice cream. You might need to add a tiny bit of milk to get the process started.

This is good just as it is, or you can add in a bit of chocolate sauce, peanut butter, frozen strawberries, or anything else that would go well with the bananas. By itself, there are no added sugars, it’s a great way to use up bananas, and I’ve never met anyone that doesn’t like it. It really does taste just like soft serve ice cream. Yum.

Enjoy!

Ingredients:

• Lasagna Noodles
• Two batches of Mario Batali’s Pasta Sauce (without the thyme and basil- Use a pack of taco seasoning instead)
• Two packs of taco seasoning (one for the sauce)
• A pound of hamburg
• A cup and a half (or whatever looks good) of frozen corn
• Two bags of Mexican blend shredded cheese.

Make up the sauce, and let it sit for an hour so that the flavors can combine. Get your water boiling for your pasta and brown the hamburg. When the hamburg is done, drain it, and then mix in 2/3 cups of water and the other package of taco seasoning, just like making regular taco filling.

Layer the pasta, sauce, hamburg, frozen corn, and cheese. Cover the baking dish in foil, and bake it at 375° for 50 minutes. Once it gets heated all the way through, take the foil off, throw on more cheese, and put it back into the oven until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Let it cool for a while, and enjoy!
