Going bananas

I thought the bananas were going to be a bit too far gone for me, but actually they were just right, still firm but sweet. So I made three banana breads. I’ve put two in the freezer and we are enjoying one with our coffees.

Then we had banana pancakes for breakfast, which were yummy. All you do is mash up two bananas, mix in two eggs, then add self raising flour, just until it thickens up. Then simply fry them until golden. You can use GF self raising flour if preferred. We had them with a sliced banana, fresh strawberries, lemon and sugar. Brian prefers maple syrup.

Lastly, I sliced up the apples for Brian to make an apple tart. We used a roll of pastry that we had in the freezer, covered it with the apple slices, then brushed with apricot jam. So simple, but effective. It makes a great dessert. The remainder I have just sliced and popped in the freezer. These will be made into an apple crumble next week.

I’m pretty impressed with all the tasty things we made with the fruit and veg box, nothing has been wasted. I have one banana left which I will have on my muesli tomorrow - oh, I nearly forgot, the lettuce we had was an accompaniment to our steak last night.
