Banana Splits For Breakfast!




I read parts of the Biggest Loser Cookbook during a slow time at work the other day and discovered a real gem. A healthy banana split. Peanut butter spread on banana with yogurt and granola. The recipe called for all low-fat/no-fat ingredients and probably fruit instead of granola but this was super tasty.

Yesterday we had a very ambitious day planned on our menu: home-cooked bbq ribs. Brandon ended up making the whole meal because I was in the middle of a sewing fit (see above) and he did a great job. Classic American potato salad with mayo and mustard, barbecue ribs just falling off the bone in a homemade barbecue sauce with fresh ginger and lemon, and more homemade rolls (still somehow really salty! we are just learning about baking!), as well as the last minute addition of spinach sauteed with garlic to balance out some of the heaviness. Everything came out of Joy of Cooking and seemed to be pretty easy. I have no idea how I survived before getting this book.
