Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Ice Cream

3 Frozen Bananas
1 tsp cocoa powder
2 Tbsp Peanut Butter
splash of milk

1. Peel bananas and chop into chunks and freeze overnight.
2. Put 1/2 the frozen bananas into a food processor and then add cocoa powder and peanut butter and a splash of milk and top with the rest of the frozen bananas
3. Pulse the mixture, scrapping down the mixture frequently.  When it starts to become creamy blend until you reach your desired consistency.
- you might need to keep adding  a few more splashes of milk to keep it blending.  also you can add as much peanut butter to your taste and the same with the cocoa powder

4. Enjoy! You can also make more to freeze, but the consistency won't be the same. The possibilities are endless with this, you can mix it up with so many different flavors!

Canada 2011

Well, we had an amazing time on our annual Canadian vacation.  We left on June 4th and got back to our house June 11th.  I spent about the week prior to going packing and organizing. We stay in cabins that were built in 1939, that are fairly small so had to think about food for kids, medicine, etc.  Our biggest challenge was how to keep babies from crawling all over the cabins; our solution was a big baby play yard with a blanket on the floor.  This worked well, but took up the whole kitchen! All-in-all it was a lot of fun, lots of work, but well worth it.  Cameron caught some fish, Elise started blowing kisses, and Elliott enjoyed dancing in his highchair! Can't wait to go again next Spring!  :-)
