David and I have been on Weight Watchers for over a year now. The best thing that has come from that is we turn to fruit for our sweet tooth now, instead of the cookies and ice cream that used to be our go to. Now, that isn't to say, it's just a banana or a slice of apple. I have to take it a few steps further. I'm very mindful of added sweeteners but there are a lot of directions you can go.
A Fuji apple, chopped into a small dice, sautéed with granulated dates and cinnamon then placed in a pie pan and topped with rolled oats, sprayed with spray butter then baked. Healthy natural delicious.
Or how about some roasted figs! Drizzled with balsamic reduction? Ooh and goat cheese! I like to cook some fruit for sure.
Tonight, thanks to my usual Pinterest trolling, I came across an idea for cooked bananas. Grilled bananas to be precise. I didn't feel up to getting the grill going at 8:30pm. (Not even the Cobb grill)
So I decided on sautéed bananas. A teaspoon of brown sugar and a spray of butter. Banana quartered and laid lovingly in the soft comfort of brown sugar. Sautéed a few minutes. Meanwhile, Hershey's syrup lite, mixed with instant espresso for a little mocha drizzle. How about a dollop of fat free cool whip? Don't mind if a do!
I didn't take a picture, I was too excited to try it. But it was delightful. Warm and soft and sweet and a touch of chocolate and a bit of coffee and of course some fruit. I have to get back in the habit of photographing my food. :)
If anyone out there is counting, 1 points plus point.
