Samoa Bundt Cake | BetsyLife I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say that this is the greatest cake I have ever made.

Banana "Ice Cream" (made from bananas ONLY!) We really like bananas here. They're pretty inexpensive compared to some other fruits and all three of my kids like eating them. Like most kids, my three also really like ice cream. So when I saw a cooking segment on the Today show last spring showing how you can make "ice cream" from frozen bananas, I was all over it. We made it several times last year and just made our first batch of the summer this weekend. It's really yummy and hard to believe you can get the creamy texture of ice cream from only bananas. Check it out... Here's what to do: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. You can also mix in other ingredients when it's in the soft-serve state ~ we like to add in peanut butter, chocolate chips or chopped nuts - YUMMY!! NOTE: We just use our blender or food processor to make our banana ice cream and although it takes a little bit of time and a decent amount of scraping down the sides, it works well for us.

Mango Coconut Chia Pudding I'm addicted to coconut, when I was pregnant it was all I craved! Combine that with mango and I'm in heaven! ...and using chia seeds to make an easy, healthy form of pudding which requires no cooking? Genius! Chia pudding has a sort of tapioca texture, you simply combine all the ingredients and refrigerate overnight. They don't really have much of a taste, the texture is similar to passion fruit if you've ever eaten one. Tested this pudding out on my pickiest family member, my teenage daughter Karina and she LOVED it to my surprise, she usually puts her nose up at some of my healthy creations.
