Caramel- Bananas Dessert

This recipe is really similar to Bananas Foster, just without the rum. We love it around here! It's so easy and made with ingredients you have on hand.

Serves 4
4 not-overripe bananas, cut into thick slices
4 Tbsp. unsalted butter (1/2 stick)
1/2 cup brown sugar
dash of cinnamon

Melt the butter over medium-high heat in a heavy-bottomed pan. Add the sugar, cinnamon and lemon. Stir constantly over medium heat until the sugar is completely dissolved, a minute or two. Add the banana slices and stir, coating them in the sauce for a couple minutes until they look really coated and start to shrink in size a little bit. Serve over ice cream. Don't think about all the butter and sugar, you're eating bananas!

Easy Chicken & Dumplings

I found this great website full of down-home country cooking recipes. Some are healthier than others. I've made this chicken and dumplings recipe a few times, and it's great! Thomas loves it.
