What do you need to do this weekend?
This. You need to make this banana chocolate fudge recipe. Because I said so, and it’s my world, so it’s my rules. At least that’s what Kyle says.
Other than THAT—what else are you doing this weekend? Anyone going outta town? Out on the water? Either way, you better be enjoying this long weekend!
I am blessed with an extra-long weekend because my company rocks. We got today off work too! This means sleeping in, sipping the hazelnut coffee, and catching up on some healthy recipe creation.
We’re also going to play racquetball this afternoon! Kyle and I finally splurged on gym memberships. Have you ever played racquetball? I’m about to Google the rules right now as we speak. Because over never played before in my life. And I have a nagging suspicion I’m going to be righteously terrible. But ya know, it’s all about the fun and the cardio, amiright? You’re probably gonna need to wish me luck. I have a feeling the sport will be an adventure for this uncoordinated girl. Good thing I have safety glasses! Sometimes I should wear them during normal workouts too. I’ve accidentally hit myself in the face during Kenpo before. That’s a hilariously embarrassing microstory. I hope you enjoyed it.
So…about this banana fudge. I haven’t been making many desserts these days, and I decided it was time to get back on the train. That doesn’t mean I haven’t been eating dessert, though, which is evidenced by my empty jar of chocolate chips. This healthy banana chocolate fudge has just a slight taste of banana to it. I cut it up into 16 bars, hoping it would last longer. Really it still only lasted about 5 days—but it did make its way into my lunch bag a couple of days, which was a major score! I’m always craving just a little something sweet after lunch. Usually, I reach for some grapes, but who wants grapes when you have fudged on hand? (Rhetorical question.)
So here we are, with an already half-eaten batch of fudge photoshoot.
