She Did the Mash

Woke up on my day off excited to bake a healthy version of banana bread.  One of my favorites.  With roasted nuts and dark chocolate chips.  Recipe courtesy of http://gimmedelicious.com/2017/01/11/healthy-moist-banana-bread/

And it was super moist and delicious.  I would definitely do this one again.  If you don't eat a lot of sweets, it is just the right balance.  I think I mashed up 1 1/2 more bananas then the recipe called for.

And then I was treated to a ghoulish walk with my mate. 

Later, Lettuce Dogs with White Bean Avocado Salad. 

Oh Ruby, Don't Take Your Buns to Town

Stuffed ruby red tomatoes in tangy lemon black rice, artichoke hearts, capers, and feta.  With the big tasty vine ripe tomatoes this is a very happy dish.  Be sure to salt and pepper the inside of the tomato well and then give the rice mixture a big squeeze of lemon and Extra Virgin Olive Oil before stuffing.

The chicken sausage lettuce dog was fun too with slices of grilled zucchini.  Again, a million variation possibilities on that lettuce dog idea, the main being, get rid of the bun.  Go to town!
