banana smoothies!

such a simple refined sugar free drink I started making when I was on a special diet ages ago.

Now I put a banana, yogurt, soy milk and a scoop of Vega powder and get a power drink way more nutritious than Boost or any other meal replacement/supplement

I'm wondering about frozen bananas. Fried? What the heck is a baked alaska?

I'll probably have a banana split tomorrow too.

Baked Alaska

Ingredients

2 quarts vanilla ice cream, softened

1 (18.25 ounce) package white cake mix

1 egg

1/2 teaspoon almond extract

8 egg whites

1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar

1/8 teaspoon salt

1 cup white sugar

Directions

1.Line the bottom and sides of an 8-inch round mixing bowl or deep 8-inch square container with foil. Spread ice cream in container, packing firmly. Cover and freeze 8 hours or until firm.

2.Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour an 8x8 inch pan.

3.Prepare cake mix with egg and almond extract. Pour into prepared pan.

4.Bake in preheated oven according to package instructions, until center of cake springs back when lightly touched.

5.Beat egg whites with cream of tartar, salt and sugar until stiff peaks form.

6.Line a baking sheet with parchment or heavy brown paper. Place cake in center. Turn molded ice cream out onto cake. Quickly and prettily spread meringue over cake and ice cream, all the way to paper to seal. Return to freezer 2 hours.

7.Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).

8.Bake the Alaska on the lowest shelf, 8 to 10 minutes, or until meringue is lightly browned. Serve at once.

bananas with a lollipop inside sounds very intriguing.

thanks for the alaska recipe, minks. I'd have to gather just about everything on that list from the store. The main problem is keeping the ice cream in the freezer long enough to bake it. lol
