How to freeze bananas
Freeze the bananas on a metal baking sheet. Spread out in a single layer, for 4-6 hours, or until completely hard. Transfer to a plastic bag to store until you’re ready to make the ice cream, or just transfer to a blender.
How to make Banana Chocolate Peanut Butter Ice Cream
In a high powered blender, combine the frozen bananas, vanilla, peanut butter, cocoa powder, milk, and a generous pinch of salt.
Use a tamper to keep the ice cream blending, as it will be thick. If the mixture needs more liquid, add 1 Tbsp of milk at a time as needed.
When the ice cream is thick and creamy, scoop into bowls and serve!
A Life with Meaning
We are in the habit of hospitality. For 30 years my husband and I have made it a priority to have all sorts of people over. I mean all sorts … people we meet through others, through church, our neighbors, old friends—new friends. Family and … we’re pretty much open to all sorts of hospitality!
I recently came across this poem that has to do with habits. Even in these uncharted times we live in, we can still practice what we preach. Instead of talking about how we should do it (easy to do), we actually do it,
Do you?
A Life with Meaning
And then I realized
that in order
to live
a life
of purpose
and meaning,
I had to live
my life
with purpose
and meaning.
Chasing habits
instead of
lost promises. – Ronald L. Banks
