BANANAS for Banana Bread :D

(Excuse the cheesy title...I am fully aware of my very *unique* sense of humor)

I've already expressed how I feel about bananas. -_- But, I really, truly feel that somehow banana bread exists JUST so that I can happily eat bananas (juuuuusssstttt kiddding :)).

Anyway, the point is - banana bread is a very delicious way of reaping the benefits of bananas without eating them directly.

Benefits of bananas?....Here are a few that I found on foodmatters.tv:

Bananas can:

• Help you overcome depression
• Help you prevent kidney cancer
• Protect you from chronic disease
• Help you quit smoking
• Shine your leather shoes

Here's a banana bread recipe, try it out and enjoy the benefits!

Jewel's Random TidBits - I can probably count the amount of times I've eaten banana bread on my hands. The time that inspired me to write this blog post was last month when my mother and sister made mini-banana bread muffins.

Salsa con Queso con......Bell Peppers and Corn?

First of all.....please excuse my bad Spanglish :)

A few weeks ago my sister and I developed a new kind of dip (or at least I think its new :) ).

We decided we wanted to eat some chips and salsa con queso for a snack but spruce it up a bit. Since we had some bell peppers and corn in the fridge, we decided to just be creative and vowed to eat whatever we made.....regardless of how good it would taste.

So, we diced the bell peppers and sauteed them in a little butter with the corn. Once they cooked down to our liking, we added just a little bit of garlic powder then added the whole mixture to hot salsa con queso.

The result was delicious!

Even though this recipe is slightly strange, it's really simple and very good. :) I hope this post has inspired you to be creative when you cook - it definitely pays off!

Jewel's Random TidBits - The original plan only included bell peppers but my little sister LOVES corn so.....it was a natural addition. :)

Back to Blogging

Ah! I'm back!

I haven't even been blogging that long to have a "back from hiatus" post but.....here it is!

Although it's been over a month since my last post, I've been so inspired! Look out for more random health posts, especially about bananas, and running posts about these new shoes I got!

Jewel's Random TidBits - I have a very strong dislike for bananas in general, HOWEVER, over the past month I've found some interesting ways to sneak them into my daily life. I'm so excited to share them with you!
