Honey Fried Bananas

a simple dessert with a little flair

10 minutes total / 1 serving per banana


I grabbed this online when I wanted to make a simple honey and banana recipe.  I added a pat of butter, and the lemon mentioned at the end is great.  Jen and I had it over vanilla ice cream and would recommend it.

Introduction

This is something that you’ll occasionally see in southern cookbooks; this is my own variation on the topic, so experiment as you see fit.

Ingredients

1 banana, chopped into rounds
2 tbsp honey (enough to drizzle across a frying pan)
1 tsp cinammon (optional)
2 tsp lemon juice (optional)
1/2 tbsp butter (optional)

Directions

Heat the honey in the pan until it is thinned and runs like oil; make sure the molten honey covers most of the pan base.

Toss in the chopped bananas and heat on medium (to avoid burning the honey) for 5 minutes; flip/rotate the banana pieces and continue heating for another 5 minutes.

Remove from heat; optionally, sprinkle a little cinnamon and lemon juice over them (the lemon juice really gives it a nice kick, I strongly recommend it).


Streusel Topped Blueberry Muffins

You’ll notice I have a number of blueberry entries as they are normally very plentiful and well priced during summers in Michigan. This recipe is another one Erin discovered. I “tested” them for her numerous times before baking them myself. I think she caught on to my motives. This is easily converted to a no-milk recipe.

No Milk (Dairy) Mashed Potatoes

If you like mashed potatoes, but cannot use milk and butter this recipe is one that everyone seems to like, especially if you like garlic.  The key is one strange ingredient, mayonnaise.  Mayo seems to give you the mouth feel of butter giving you the experience of regular creamy mashed potatoes. The recipe is not real precise, but add the ingredients slowly and your taste buds will tell you when you have the right amounts.
