Over the past couple of weeks I have discovered how to use Pinterest. No, I was not living under a rock and yes I still think it is an enormous waste of time.
BUT, big BUT, I have been having FUN! And just last night made two recipes I found on Pinterest. The first one was a Cheesy Tortellini recipe that I am planning to rewrite because it lacked some direction. I liked it though. Brant liked it and the boys ate it. We will be trying it again for sure and this time I'll remember to add the baby spinach.
The other recipe was for banana and peanut butter ice cream. Banana and peanut butter ice cream ONLY using bananas and peanut butter! When I saw it I knew I wanted to try it so I pinned it.
Instead of peanut butter I decided I would use Nutella. And I am very glad I did. So are Matthew and Ryan! This was the perfect dessert today after lunch.
Now, nothing compares to real ice cream, but this is a sweet, semi-healthy treat for me and the boys to enjoy. And super easy.
And you can't beat a recipe with only two ingredients!!
-Very ripe bananas
-Nutella
I sliced 5 bananas and placed them in the freezer for 2 hours. Next place frozen bananas in blender and puree until smooth. That is the setting I used on my blender that worked for me. I also used a rubber spatula to scrape the sides at first to get the bananas going....moving around. It took a little bit to get the "ice cream" texture. Once it is smooth and creamy add 2-3 tablespoons of Nutella. If it is too soft place back in freezer to harden up a bit.
Enjoy! This is a perfect way to use up those almost black bananas. Those ripe bananas are the sweetest!

Pinterest is evil fun! I have made that banana icecream sans the peanut butter, and it was amazing! I hope you'll post the tortellini recipe after you rewrite it.
