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.

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!!
