banana boats

we're both feeling achy today, and baby is taking an extra-long nap...we must have caught something.

besides that, there's not much to blog about today, so i want to share a dessert we had a couple of weekends ago. i had seen ideas floating all over the web about making banana boats in the campfire. we will definitely be making these on our next camping trip, but we couldn't wait that long to try them! one night, we grilled chicken for chicken salad, and i knew it would be the perfect time to try this treat, so we put them together and put them on the grill for a bit. it worked great and they were so yummy!


to make your own, take a banana and carefully unpeel one side of it. scoop out a little channel in the banana and fill with whatever you would like. we used raspberries and dark chocolate, but you could really use any kind of fruit, or nuts, or coconut. be creative! wrap it in tin foil and put it on the grill for a few minutes. peek at it after a bit...once the chocolate is melted, enjoy!
