It’s SRC REVEAL DAY for group D. I love love LOVE SRC!

For those that don’t know, SRC (Secret Recipe Club) is a group of extremely talented bloggers, chefs, and food-thousiasts like myself. Once a month, we sign up to participate and once a month we’re assigned a fellow blogger in our group. Once we have found and created or re-created a recipe on the blog we are assigned, we create a post telling everyone about our assigned blogger, their blog, and the chosen recipe on our specified group reveal date. I’m not explaining it all that well. So, you’d better head on over to their website and read about it yourself. It’s awesome and I’ve found some really wonderful blogs to follow and be inspired by.
Like this one!
This month I was assigned 84th & 3rd. She’s an Aussie important from America-land. She is a recipe developer, writer, photographer, designer, and a bunch of other things I can’t remember right now. Basically, she wears many hats.
She sticks mainly to un-processed veg-aquarian (not sure what that is but sounds interesting) type foods but will choose chocolate above all else. Oh, and pie makes everything better.
We do have one thing in common, though; Food inspires her! I thought I was the only one that thought about food constantly. Is it possible to have a blogging soul mate? If so, I think I found her! Not that…um…well, I am married to a male gendered husband. Just didn’t want y’all to get the wrong impression about me.
Anyway.
It took me FOREVER to pick a recipe to make. There are so many good ones! I mean, she’s got Banana Split Hot Cross Buns! Are you kidding me? Then there’s the Maple Orange Spiced Macadamia Nuts. And Romesco? It looks super silky smooth and perfect for pasta or grilled meats. And then there’s a bunch of chocolate recipes and I kept drooling over these Peanut Butter Truffles. Oh. Yes, please?
Needless to say, it took me the better part of all month to zero in on ONE recipe to make. But, I kept coming back to these Caramel Bourbon Bananas with Whipped Coconut Cream. But since we’re doing a lot fat diet due to the hub’s heart stuffs, I opted out on the whipped coconut cream. Heart healthy or not, we just can’t take the chances.
So, I added some “cream” of my own in the form of some non-fat frozen yogurt. Yes, I realize it’s not in the spirit of “un-processed” but I used honey and not sugar and butter instead of spray. Doesn’t that count for something?
Anyway, I hope you enjoy this recipe and check out JJ’s blog over at 84th & 3rd. She’s got some kick ass recipes!!

Oh Yum! This looks like a perfect summer dessert! (But you could probably eat it all year round… )
Thank you! It was really good and with bananas and honey always available, you could eat it year round.
If I wasn’t already in love with JJ’s blog, I sure would be after this – looks insanely good. Great pick!!
Thank you! She has an awesome collection of recipes.
Sort of reminds me of bananas foster. Will have to try this next time I make Creole food!
Yes, it kind of was like bananas foster. Definitely delicious, none-the-less!
We go through honey like nobody’s business in this house – I know this ice cream would be a hit!
I love honey ice cream. It’s super tasty and keeps it from freezing solid.
Oh those bananas are so good on pretty much anything – but I love that you made frozen yoghurt to top them with! Happy reveal day xx
Thank you, JJ! I had a blast reading your blog. And those bananas are to die for!!
I’ll just take a big ol’ bowl of those bananas….YUM
They were so easy and you probably have everything you need to make them already. Well, maybe not the alcohol….
I could dive right into that bowl! Amazing!
I did. And it was!! Thanks, Karen!
this reminds me of one of my favorite desserts, bananas foster!
It did me, too. I was hankering for some banana sweetness, too.
Happy Reveal Day!! Boy, does this look good! Lynn
Thanks, Lynn!!
This is my kind of dessert. Those bananas look gorgeous. Yum, yum! Happy Reveal Day!
Thank you, Emily. It is rather tasty! You should make some. LOL
Ohhhh those gorgeous bananas…. I am so making these soon. They look like the most perfect way to end a day!!
They were! And so quick, less the freezing time, of course. BUT you could easily top your fave ‘nilla ice cream with these nanas.
I love everything about this, from the flavor of the frozen yogurt, to the topping and the booze infusion!
Thank you, Erin! It is rather tasty. I hope you try it.
I love her blog and her writing! You picked a winner, I don’t know what is better, the frozen yogurt or that amazing topping!
