Did I Mention I Love Bananas?

I finally got around to uploading my pictures onto Blogger even though it's only been about four (?) days since I last posted. Choosing the right picture was super hard for me to do, especially since all the ones I took turned out great :)

The garnish I used for these extra moist and yummy Banana-Coconut Bars were two little strawberries handpicked by my little sister at a nearby farm in Marble Falls. I thought they complimented the red checkered cloth perfectly.

Just a little tip - if you don't have silken tofu, you can always use applesauce. I used a natural, unsweetened version and the bars turned out wonderful. I also omitted the powdered sugar and cinnamon used as the topping because I found that they tasted great as is.

I think I'm gonna take some along with me when I go to Sea World tomorrow to celebrate my sister and her bff's birthday. We're going to leave early tomorrow and return late on Sunday so I want to bring something sweet in case I get a craving for something sweet (which I always do).

Yesterday in my Nutrition/Food class, we had a Breakfast "lab" in which each group decided what they wanted to make for that day. Our group made a TON of food. My friend and I couldn't stop laughing at how much food we ended up making for only the five of us. All in all we had a fruit salad (prepared by me), bacon and eggs (for the omni's), veggie bacon and Soyrizo (for us vegetarians), toast, biscuits (non-vegan), and fried potatoes. It took us a whole hour and a half to prepare but it was so worth it! I wish I could have taken a picture of our buffet-style table. My plate included fried potatoes, Soyrizo, toast, and some fruit salad. Mmmm....I'm hooked on Soyrizo now ;)
