Banana Ice Cream

My mom made me a delightful treat the other day on a visit. A treat that I have been meaning to test out myself and it was just as good as I thought it would be!  My mom made a delightful batch of Banana, Peanut Butter and cocoa Ice Cream it was Amazing!!!

Ice Cream made from Bananas

(I forgot to take a picture while i was there...so this is one i found on my pinterest page)

It is a much healthier substitute to ice cream and it tastes just as good.

What you'll need:

4 over ripe bananas- I would peel them chop them into pieces then you want to freeze them for a couple hours (makes 4 servings)

Then pick what ever flavoring you'd like...cocoa powder to make a chocolate ice cream, peanut butter, nutella, strawberries any other fruit you enjoy.

Then all you do is pop the bananas in your food processor until well blended, make sure you scrape the sides to make sure you are getting all the bananas and add your flavor of choice.

It is such an easy option instead of running out to your local ice cream parlor and really is just as good if not better than the classic.


Here are some recipe suggestions i found all thanks to TheKitchn.  These recipes all make 2 servings

Peanut Butter & Honey Banana Ice Cream

1 1/2 peeled medium bananas, sliced into coins and frozen until solid
3 tablespoons peanut butter
2 teaspoons honey

Nutella Banana Ice Cream

1 1/2 peeled medium bananas, sliced into coins and frozen until solid
3 to 4 tablespoons Nutella or other hazelnut-chocolate spread

Dark Chocolate Banana Ice Cream

1 1/2 peeled medium bananas, sliced into coins and frozen until solid
3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tablespoons cream
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Cinnamon Dulce Banana Ice Cream

1 1/2 peeled medium bananas, sliced into coins and frozen until solid
3 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk
1/2 teaspoon freshly-ground cinnamon

Strawberries & Cream Banana Ice Cream

1 1/2 peeled medium bananas, sliced into coins and frozen until solid

I hope you all go and give these recipes a try i think you would all love it so much!!

Dream Craft Room

Hey Fellow Crafters!

As a crafter one of the many things that we dream of is having that ultimate craft room with a place for all your millions of bits a pieces, to be organized and have a nice counter to work and not feel cramped or messy.  The ultimate crafter's rooms, can you imagine!! Do any of you have that perfect space to escape to so you can create in peace?? A room that fills you with inspiration and creativity!  And then to actually have all the supplies needed and stored in its own little home ready to be grabbed when wanted.

Here are some of my dream craft spaces, that one day i can re-create in our home.

Aren't they just amazing beautiful spaces!! All of the things we could create in these rooms...

Focus, Blog, Craft...

Hey Guys!!

So i know we have been saying this for a while now that we want to really focus on this blog and craft more, but its just been really hard to sit down and focus on what we want to do.  I know my mom is in full force of crafting at the moment, but now myself and Jamie need to get our butts into gear.  Our goal and dream would be able to really focus on this blog, open up an Etsy store to one day sell our products, once we have some inventory built up that is.  Go to craft shows around the city and sell there also,  I mean we all love crafting so much that why not try and make a living out of it, i know its not going to be easy and it will probably take us some time to get everything sorted, but i invite you all to come along on our journey!  Learn with us, experience it all with us and hey maybe even teach us a few things.

I have a couple things that i want to get going, i'm obsessed with minky blankets so that's something that i want to make more of,  as well as some cute baby swaddling blankets, i-phone cases, jewelry, cards, scrapbook art and get some more knitting done.  I have a huge list on Pinterest full of crafting inspiration that i want to start on.

I Finally finished my second minky blanket, it gave me a lot more issues this time, mainly because i didn't take the time to pre-stitch so the fabric stretched a lot more which made it hell to sew on the machine.  But i finally finished it and it turned out great, i am currently snuggled under it while i'm writing this post, and it is so soft and warm!

Seriously greatest blanket to snuggle under

I hope you all had an amazing weekend.  You can follow us through Google friend connect, in the sidebar.  Leave a comment to say hi :) and we will be back with another post shortly...fingers crossed!!
