Guilt Free Banana Ice Cream

So I'm in the process of slimming down to my "normal" wait before Croix. Didn't get to off track still not what I am use to. Being an athlete all your life, gaining weight doesn't really make you feel like yourself. It has been going great so far, 15lbs and counting (Thank you, thank you, lol) One thing I love more then donuts is ice cream. So I found this recipe on making guilty free banana ice cream and decided to try it. Now everyone knows there is nothing like the reallllll thing baaabyyy baby, lol, but I was impressed with how it turned out. So here is what I did

 

 

Ice Cream Ingredients: 

2 frozen banana
1/2 cup of milk ( I used Almond Milk)
1 tsp of vanilla
1 cup of ice (this is optional but it does give it that frozen consistency)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Directions:

Peal the frozen banana and cut into slices. To make it easier on your self run them over some hot water just to loosen the peal from the frozen banana. Put them in the blender with ice. Give the blender a few pulsed chops to break up the frozen banana chunks and ice. Then pour in the milk. Now don't get discouraged it takes a minute to get that ice cream consistency. Once you have gotten that creamy texture add your vanilla.

I jazzed up a half the batch with a table spoon of Coco powder to make a chocolate banana ice cream for Croix. :)

Take pictures of your creations and send to llovescinc@gmail.com and I will post them on my blog. Can't wait to see them :)

20 Things a Mother Should Tell Her Son

 

 

I read a lot of mommy blogs and this entry I picked up from www.werdyab.com. And its called 20 Things a Mother Should Tell Her Son. I couldn't agree more with everything she said. So I am sharing it with you all. If you or anyone you know that has a son, please show them this.

 

 

1. You will set the tone for the sexual relationship, so don't take something away from her that you can't give back.

2. Play a sport. It will teach you how to win honorably, lose gracefully, respect authority, work with others, manage your time and stay out of trouble. And maybe even throw or catch.

3. Use careful aim when you pee. Somebodies got to clean that up, you know.

4. Save money when you're young because you're going to need it some day.

5. Allow me to introduce you to the dishwasher, oven, washing machine, iron, vacuum, mop and broom. Now please go use them.

6. Pray and be a spiritual leader.

7. Don't ever be a bully and don't ever start a fight, but if some idiot clocks you, please defend yourself.

8. Your knowledge and education is something that nobody can take away from you.

9. Treat women kindly. Forever is a long time to live alone and it's even longer to live with somebody who hates your guts.

10. Take pride in your appearance.

11. Be strong and tender at the same time.

12. A woman can do everything that you can do. This includes her having a successful career and you changing diapers at 3 A.M. Mutual respect is the key to a good relationship.

13. "Yes ma'am" and "yes sir" still go a long way.

14. The reason that they're called "private parts" is because they're "private". Please do not scratch them in public.

15. Peer pressure is a scary thing. Be a good leader and others will follow.

16. Bringing her flowers for no reason is always a good idea.

17. Be patriotic.

18. Potty humor isn't the only thing that's humorous.

19. Please choose your spouse wisely. My daughter-in-law will be the gatekeeper for me spending time with you and my grandchildren.

 

20. Remember to call your mother because I might be missing you.
 

I've learned so much being a mother. There is no type of love like the love a mother has for her child. I can't even explain the unconditional feelings and emotions I have for my son. He is my blessing everyday. He makes me an even better person. And I owe him the world for such a gift. I am raising a boy to be a man of the world.....I am completely honored.
