♪This sh** is bananas ~ B-A-N-A-N-A-S !♫

Throwback from my first Myspace song …
… Which is the inspiration behind my most frequent ☼summer ☼ dessert lately:
Banana Ice Cream !!!
Here are a few different from-fresh-to-frozen banana batches from this past week:

With last weekend being full of festivities, we were in great food and company! My LMT girl Lisa and her hubby hosted Fight Night (UFC main event: Anderson Silva post-2013 leg injury) on Super Bowl Sunday Eve! Then I watched the Big Game with my Papa Jun !
The commonalities between both meals were:
pizza (Little Caesar’s & Pizza Hut )
dip (Ranch & Nutella )
oodles of noodles (post-fight & pre-game)
veggies (fresh & roasted)
Fight Night Feast : {clockwise from top L} Little Caesar’s Pretzel Pizza from yours truly * fruit w/chocolate fondue made by yours truly (Nutella & Philadelphia Cream Cheese ) * veggies w/Ranch dressing * slider sandwiches w/Dijon mustard, turkey & cheese (either Swiss or Munster)
Portion control : Lisa sliced the pizza into smaller pieces, so more could be up for grabs!
These slider sandwiches were a hit! Hands down : they scored a touchdown @ this table!
Fun fact : Did you know that you burn more calories than you consume when you munch on celery due to the crunch? Challenge accepted!
After the fruit was gone, a fellow cat mama & I turned to the carrots to dip into the chocolate !
Post-Fight : Rice Noodles w/meatballs ~ looks like this yummy bowl is Lisa ‘s version of Pho !
Pre-Game : My Ramen w/Salsa + P.I. Cheese on Toast
Yes’sir, I AM the Ranch B*tch : from my salad to pizza (Supreme from the Hut )
Almond Joy Pie : filled w/Nutella but bittersweet due to the Seahawks’ SB loss
My Nanay satisfied my chili craving with this Super Bowl Southwestern-Style Chili Bowl ! Maraming Salamat Po, Mommy Aya ! Ma sarap!
Add cheese to the mix!
Dallop of Daisy : Add sour cream to the mix!
Add avocado to the mix!
Spoon ready to scoop ~ so ladle it on to lick!
Let’s double-dip those chips!
My mom went happy on kale , both in the chili & in these chips baked in EVOO + in this green drink complete con más avocado !
Again, Context Media Health has been on point, as if it’s been reading my mind ~ this time, about Black Beans & Avocados !

Happy National Croissant Day!!!
Also, with Mardi Gras on the way …
We still can eat, drink and be merry!
A moderate way to do it is through this mini croissant Cajun -style sandwich ~ simple yet savory !
Cajun Croissant Sandwich : Aren’t these mini croissants absolutely cute?
Snack-Happy!

Chocolate + Nuts = Buttered Bliss!
Don’t Mess with these Butters!
I’ve been a Nutella nut for several years (including since Kobe Bryant endorsed it before his infamous scandal that led Ferrero ~ yes, the same brand of the famous hazelnut truffle candy ~ to drop him), but do the other cocoa-based spreads out there also live up to the hype? I’ve taste-tested some of them to compare…
Stars of the Show
Ferrero Nutella Hazelnut Spread® with Skim Milk & Cocoa
Nutella : The Original Hazelnut Spread ®
Jif Mocha Cappuccino Flavored Hazelnut Spread
Jif Mocha Cappuccino Hazelnut Spread
Barefoot & Chocolate ♡ Almond Coconut
Barefoot & Chocolate™ Almond Coconut Chocolate Spread
Honorable Mentions
Trader Joe’s Speculoos Cookie Butter
As my trainer has said about food, “It’s like Christmas!”
Organic Almond Butter *featured on my Pretty Fit WIMK segment*
Uh-oh, the Original Hazelnut Spread® strikes again!
Any of these spreadable edibles work to top off toast, and the sky’s the limit on how to add them to main courses, desserts or snacks, such as Crepes, brownies and croissants.
Superlatives
Nutella : thickest consistency
Jif Mocha Cappuccino : sweetest flavor
B&C Almond Coconut : thinnest consistency
Other Butters
Cookie Butter : gritty nut alternative
Almond Butter : bland, crunchy
What do these super spreads say about your personality?
If your pick is…
Nutella : You’re conservative and conventional . You tend to stick with traditions and resist change.
Jif MC : You’re over-the-top and prefer to go all out, from the way you dress to how you plan.
B&C AC : You’re chill and mellow , meaning you go with the flow and play if by ear.
Cookie Butter : You’re unique and one-of-a-kind , as Jamie Foxx has sung “Unpredictable.”
Almond Butter : You’re nutty and quirky , but that’s all in the beauty and charm!
Food for thought, for your information:

I’ve concluded that I can’t compare apples to oranges. While each of these have similarities since they’re all spreads, tastes and textures vary.
Enjoy your weekend, and please comment with links to your photos or recipes of chocolicious or cookielicious or nutritious concoctions!
Happy Eating … But what’s better is adding more company to the mix!
Happy Eating + Meeting & Greeting!

Happy Hump Day the Healthy Pretty Fit Way !
Today, I’ll feature food, as a perk to my freelance writing.
When I visited AM Donuts , I was pleased to photograph around the storefront and bakery, as well as to try the main menu items that I intended:
AM Donuts ‘ Bubble Tea & Maple Bacon Bar
The added bonus was that the owner packed his personal favorites for me to take home!
AM Donuts & Croissants Care Package, including *exclusive* Cherry Chocolate Fritter & Red Velvet Cake Donut
Then, when I covered the Claudie C. Royals Banquet on Claudie C. Royals Day , I chowed down even more!
Claudie C. Royals Banquet Desserts : Special Strawberry Shortcake Banana Nut Pudding, Lemon & Chocolate Nut Cupcakes, Chocolate Sugar-Dusted Brownies
Today, I wrote about how I ate healthy a week ago then rewarded myself the next day in What I Ate Wednesday and Thursday .
Moral of this story:
A good day can lead into another one !
And because I love y’all so much, here’s how I packed my sweets for the sweet from the sweet on VDay ♥
Now that I’ve gone bananas with good grub and am armed with study food , I’ll get back to working on my dissertation …
3:33 ~ make a wish!!!
