Bananas



Our local Save-a-Lot grocery store sells their ripe bananas for 19 cents a pound. When I happen to be there and they have some, I stock up! I peel them and put them in bags into the freezer. I love to eat just a plain frozen banana. My healthy version of a frozen fudge bar. :) I also use them in nice thick fruit smoothies - better than a milk shake! And occasionally I make banana bread and it is so handy to have them in the freezer and not be worried that they will go to waste.

  4. You can use the banana skins to make fly catchers too. You could make a bunch with all those bananas.

  5. I do the same thing, but I mostly use them to make banana cake. I use the King Arthur Flour "cake pan cake" recipe

    I omit the cocoa and substitute mashed bananas for the liquid. Very tasty stuff.
