Here it goes for this week.
We had another week with no waste. I like this trend. However, we did eat some pretty interesting meals the last couple of days to achieve this. Last night we had bean burritos, mashed potatoes, and cucumbers. Don't you wish you had been here?

| Making Banana Peanut Butter Balls |
Also, we used up bananas from the freezer that had been a save from another week. It was my older son's birthday and he wanted to make Banana Peanut Butter Balls to celebrate. We made them frequently when he was younger, but it had been several years since we had put them together.
Wally really loves peanut butter, so I was not surprised by his request. As it turns out, it was not the peanut butter he was so interested in. He wanted to relive the fun he had making them when he was eight.
So you never know what makes a difference with your kids. It often can be the smallest things that they remember fondly many years later.
I am so bad at using up freezer bananas. I think my problem is I leave them in the door, where they get really weird looking (probably too much freezer burn). Congrats on the winning streak, even if it does mean weird meals sometimes...
ReplyDeleteWe don't use freezer bananas so well either. I think they're great for smoothies of which we don't like that much. I'm glad that my son requested this recipe because I had been wondering what I was going to do with them. (Don't eat that much banana bread either.)
DeleteSo fun, when I go back home my mom thinks I have the weirdest requests for foods, but it really is the simple recipes that I miss. Great job!
ReplyDeleteYou are on a roll! We always use freezer bananas because we make a lot of smoothies. It's an easy way to get lots of nutrients into my kids. Keep up the winning streak!
ReplyDeleteYum yum. I told you you will not have any food waste this week either. I was right :)
ReplyDeleteI appreciate your faith in me. I'm inspired for next week now.
DeleteThat's really sweet. Congrats on your zero waste week!
