Banana Ice Cream and a Little Surprise!

Question: What could possibly be better than ice cream that is GOOD for you?!
Answer: Nothing. There is nothing.

So I found a recipe (if you could call it that) for banana ice cream and needed to try it.
This is what I took from the recipe:
1. Chop up some ripe bananas. Skin off. I used 5.
(You might want to separate them. Stuck together a little. Not too much of an issue though)
2. Put them in the freezer.
3. When frozen, take banana pieces out of freezer and put them in the blender.
(Note: WAY too many bananas in here. They wouldn't pulse properly. I took out about half and it worked perfectly)
4. Once the bananas have come together and look like delicious soft serve ice cream, either eat it right now or put it back in the freezer to re-harden (so it feels like real ice cream!)
I did the above and decided to add a little honey as well. Oh and a dusting of chocolate.
Mmmm, its REALLY good. I feel terrible going to the freezer for a scoop so often but then I realise that its good for me! How lovely!

I went out earlier, to buy croissants this morning for my love and I on Valentines day.
I like the fact that breakfast and a card is the extent of our V-Day celebrations. We're of the opinion that we love each other every day and show it! But it's still kinda nice to get a card and have some breaky...
I made his card this year... Two reasons;
1. I'm poor.
2. He's a boy and doesn't really care much for that sort of thing.
On the way back inside, I noticed that my sunflowers have started flowering!!
I'm so excited because I wasn't sure if they wanted to or not...
Yay!

On the menu tonight: Desert Raisin dukkah coated lamb backstraps with mash and green beans!
Can't wait!!
