Sauteed Bananas w/ Cream Cheese Sauce

[Guest guest]

Okay, this recipe will take a little tweaking to make it SCD legal, but I thought it was a good idea...my comments are in purple.http://www.bakespace.com/recipes/detail/Sauteed-Bananas-With-Cream-Cheese-Sauce/13345/#recipe-storyINGREDIENTS4 small bananas3 Tbs splenda for baking ***use honey (or other legal sweetener)***5 oz fat free cream cheese ***use well dripped yogurt***1/2 C Skim or 1% milk ***I would use water...skim milk tastes like water to me anyways***1/2 tsp ground cinnamonDIRECTIONSCube cream cheese and place in sauce pan to soften. Mean while peel bananas and slice to a desired thickness, do not slice too thin as they will become mushy when sauteed. Spriknle bananas with 1/2 of the cinnamon or to taste. Spray a skillet with butter flavored spray ***Ick. Use real butter!*** and heat over medium high heat. Add bananas to pan. After a few minutes check them, if they are browned turned them over, if not let them cook a little longer. They basically caramelize and give a great flavor. When the bananas are done cover to keep warm and set aside. Combine the splenda ***honey (or other legal sweetener)***, milk ***water (or omit, if possible I guess*** and remaining cinnamon in the sauce pan with the cream ***yogurt*** cheese. Heat over low flame stirring constantly to melt the cream ***yogurt*** cheese, try not to boil the suace. Once it is melted and creamy divide the bananas into 4 bowls, top each with a fourth of the cream sauce. A dollop of fat free cool whip ***or not*** and an extra dash of cinnamon add a nice touch.Yeah, definitely a little tweaking...but I'm sure some of the marvelous cooks on here could take this and make it SCD delish =) Peace =)Alyssa 15 yoUC April 2008, dx Sept 2008SCD June 2009 (restarted)Chinese Herbs (not legal but helping!)

Alyssa,

This is so much like the sauteed bananas my mother used to make! She

sliced them lengthwise, sauteed in butter, and added sugar. The cream

cheese and cinnamon sound like great additions! In fact, this sounds

like dessert. Mama considered it an accompaniment. She did sliced

apples pretty much the same way. I do the apples (no sugar, of

course) but hadn't thought of the bananas for ages

The dessertiest things I eat are green smoothies, pecan butter on souffle bread, and yogurt w/ raspberry jam. I'm glad though. It's nice not being a slave to sugar! I like eating real food and enjoying it =) Peace =)Alyssa 15 yoUC April 2008, dx Sept 2008SCD June 2009 (restarted)Chinese Herbs (not legal but helping!)

I think we've all changed our ideas of dessert. My dessertiest thing

is whipped SCD gelatin. I make it with either the legal Welch's grape

juice, thinned with at least as much water than juice, or more. A

couple of days ago I had some extra squeezed lime juice so I just

used a few tablespoons of that plus a shake of stevia. It was very

delicate -- limeade gelatin?

What I do with it is put some of that in the blender with some frozen

berries and/or a banana and whiz it up. It's sort of like pudding or

so I tell myself. With the berries I claim it to be " ice cream " .

Me too! I love to have squash buttons heated up with yogurt top (that's what I

call the delicious, thick creamy top that you get after you refrigerate your

yogurt- I always scrape that top layer off and save it). If you would have told

me that I thought that was an amazing dessert 5 months ago I would have thought

you were crazy
