Beauty Eats- Nuts about candy canes
Today’s Beauty Eats recipe is about adding some candy cane sparkle to chocolate dipped dried fruit and nuts. If you’re a new reader, you might be wondering what the Beauty Eats series is all about. The image on the left sums it up perfectly – it’s all about eating skin-friendly ingredients in delicious ways.
The holidays are almost here and I’m excited about all the great food I get to enjoy, but I’m also worried about the inevitable holiday weight gain. I think it’s already started! Moderation is one way of keeping the pounds off, but eating holiday foods shouldn’t always be about cakes and cookies and other “unhealthy” treats. So is it possible to make something healthy that’s delicious too? Of course it is! That’s how these chocolate and candy cane coated gems came about.
Banana bread with dates!
So what do you do when you have a bunch of extra ripe bananas lying on your counter-top? Banana bread! But you know me, the recipe has got to have a twist. This is a yummy banana bread with dates that is surprisingly healthy too!
I always end up buying too many bananas! After a few days, as they turn darker and darker, I wonder why I bought so many in the first place. Will I ever learn?
Milkshakes are a great way to use ripe bananas, but the best way in my opinion is to make banana bread. It’s something that will satisfy your sweet tooth at any time of the day, whether it’s dessert after dinner or breakfast with a glass of milk.
