Over ripe bananas? Not just for banana bread!

At one time or another, we all end up with over ripe bananas.  That doesn't happen very often at my house, as ALL of my family LOVE bananas.  But every now and then, they don't get eaten at the perfect yellow color (and my kids get pretty picky about brown spots!)  But wait!  Don't throw them out!

Quite a few years ago, I began throwing the over ripe bananas into the freezer, so that they were there when I needed to make banana bread.  I was not only living the phrase "Waste not, want not" but I was prepared when I felt like making banana bread.  I even have friends that bring me their over ripe bananas to put in my freezer, in the hopes that I will make them some banana bread...hmmmm...sneaky!

But what about the other great ways you can use over ripe bananas?  One of my favorites is smoothies.  Just take an over ripe banana, put it in the blender with a cup of ice, some vanilla yogurt and a little milk.  Blend and you have a yummy smoothie.  If I want a little different flavor, I will add a few frozen strawberries to the mix, and use apple juice instead of the milk.  Talk about a nutritious breakfast!

This is an interesting article that gives ideas for using those bananas."Make Use of Over Ripe Bananas"

How do you use over ripe bananas?  I would love to hear your ideas.

Best Healtlhy Foods under $1.00!!

I have learned, feeding a family of five, that I can feed them inexpensively and with their health in mind, without breaking the bank.  And the great thing is, there are more and more health-conscious places available, including organic coupons!  (Mambo Sprouts, Whole Foods, Organic Valley, Organic Food Coupons)

Check out this list:

Vocal Point-An article "Is Couponing Worth It?" Love to hear your thoughts!

Vocal Point is a great way to speak out when it comes to new products.  They will send you samples of items and you just comment on them.  I was looking on their site today, and saw an article "Is Couponing Worth it?"  I would LOVE to hear your thoughts on this one!

Personally, coupons are a lifesaver for my family.  We have had times that our budget was tight and without coupons, we would have had difficulty feeding our family and making ends meet.  With a family of 5, it has paid me over and over to use coupon.  I pay my daughter to clip the coupons for me, I use internet coupons ALOT, and am able to feed my family better than I could without using coupons.  When I can save 50% on my grocery bill, why wouldn't I use coupons!!

Let me know what you think!!
