For the last two weeks, H has been going with friends to our local fall festival pretty frequently. It is almost time for it to close for the season so everyone has been taking advantage of the nice weather and visiting a few times before the end. Each time you go, you get an apple to bring home.

Raise your hand if you love pie! Ok, now keep your hand up if you actually like MAKING pie. Yeah, a whole lot of hands probably just dropped right about then. I know mine did. I am horrible at pie crust and therefore, I generally avoid making pies. Plus, slicing a pie is no piece of cake {ha!} either. Well, I am about to blow your mind with these mini apple toffee pies because they are so easy!
I am excited to partner with TruMoo Milk to bring you this Halloween inspired recipe. While this post is sponsored, all thoughts and opinions are my own.
Halloween is approaching so quickly! We were talking last night about what the kids should be Halloween and I realized that we don’t have much time to prepare. I’m no stressing though because, while Halloween is a few short weeks away, all the Halloween goodies are out now! We were shopping for Halloween candy the other day and I saw that Limited TruMoo Orange Scream milk is already in stores! We picked up some and used it to make a Halloween orange cream poke cake!

My daughter has started watching all the youtube videos about baking. It is a girl and her mom baking these ridiculous cakes but she loves it. I love that it has inspired her to want to spend more time in the kitchen. When she asked to bake something recently, I was already brainstorming ideas for the Cooking for the Cure blog hop to raise awareness for Breast Cancer Awareness month. Of course, pink is the signature color for Breast Cancer Awareness so we decided to make strawberry Oreo cake mix cookies.

I’ve recently cut out all refined sugar from my diet. Once I set my mind to it (and saw the lbs start to drop off!) it was easier than I had initially thought. But, it’s summer, and I would still like to enjoy an ice cream every so often.
I’ve seen this recipe for 1 ingredient banana ice cream on Pinterest for a while now and have been dying to give it a try. I wasn’t sure that it would really taste like ice cream but BOY was I wrong! It’s also a great way to use up those over-ripe bananas…there’s only so much banana bread you can eat!
This couldn’t be easier to make: You want to use 4 or 5 over-ripe bananas (the browner they are, the sweeter the ice cream will be!).
Peel them and slice. Place the slices on a plate and freeze overnight. Then, all you have to do is blend them up in food processor/blender until thick and creamy!
Now, in the spirit of being sharing, I’m going to let you know that I froze my bananas whole with the skins still ON. Don’t do this, they are impossible to peel once they are frozen!! You could peel first, then freeze but I reckon slicing them up first would make the process a whole lot easier.
If you want to serve it right out of the blender, expect a “soft-serve” consistency. To make it a bit more solid, pop in a freezer-proof container and chill for at least 2 hours.
Who knew that pureed frozen bananas were so thick and creamy!? Honestly, if you love ice cream and bananas then you will adore this. It’s Paleo friendly, dairy free, (added) sugar free and a great guilt-free treat for both kids and adults alike. Feeling adventurous? Once you’ve mastered this version, don’t be afraid to experiment! I’m going to add almond butter to my next batch 🙂
