Lately I’ve been making this banana thing as a dessert or snack. Cut up a banana and sprinkle over 2 teaspoons chocolate chips, 1 1/2 teaspoons grated unsweetened coconut, and 1 1/2 teaspoons nuts. Microwave 30 seconds.
We had a light dinner yesterday of shrimp and vermicelli. For a sauce I mixed sesame oil, low sodium soy sauce, the juice of a lime, crushed red pepper flakes, and minced garlic. I poached the shrimp in salted water just until they turned pink, served the atop the cooked noodles and sprinkled with sliced green onions, black sesame seeds and torn fresh mint. Yum!
Yesterday turned out to be quite a busy day as Daniel woke up with a sore throat and a fever of 101.5 so there was a lot of scheduling, rescheduling and doctor visiting to do. He’s got the flu and most kids are running fever for 4 or 5 days so I guess he’ll miss a fair amount of school this week. The postman left my copy of Book Book Book #3- can’t wait to read some of that!

I’m hungry now, and it’s only 10:35 a.m. I’m blaming you.
It all looks so yummy! You almost had me running to the kitchen to bake a cake yesterday.
