Easy Peanut Butter Banana S’mores

March 10, 2015 By Erica Acevedo Leave a Comment

The easiest s’mores ever! Four simple ingredients and no heat involved are sure to make for four happy mouths – or one, your choice!

I’m a dipper.

Chips & salsa, strawberries & chocolate, french fries & ice cream. If it’s dippable, it’s going in.

I can also be pretty lazy, and if I feel like having a banana with peanut butter, chances are I’ll dip it in the jar before dirtying a knife.

This presents a problem, because peanut butter is so thick, and bananas can be so soft and easily breakable. And, for some reason, there are people out there who don’t like banana-flavored peanut butter.

Weirdos. [Read more…]

Roasted Red Pepper Dip (Romesco)

Romesco

I have never heard of this dip before, but I am drooling, and I don’t have to feel guilty because this dip is healthy, rich in antioxidants and a great source of healthy fats that are essential for our brains. The Greek yogurt also gives a big protein boost and this snack will help keep you satisfied till dinner.

This dip can be made up in a jif, and it is a dip that your family will love, and a great dip for pot lucks or parties. I am always wanting to bring something healthy to a party or pot luck, because most of the time, there are not a lot of healthy options.

Peanut Butter, Fried Banana & Granola Wrap

February 9, 2015 By Erin Kennedy Leave a Comment

Sometimes I just want a treat that I can’t get anywhere else. A snack that satisfies all of my cravings. From sweet, to salty, crunchy and creamy. I actually saw this snack on a food truck show feature on t.v. It was one of their most popular items. I decided to try it out myself, since I didn’t live in the town where the food truck was. And it includes butter! Who wouldn’t want to make this asap!

This is simple to make and there doesn’t need to have any specific measurements. This is a perfect snack or dessert, or even lunch because it is super filling. Maybe a good on-the-go breakfast? Why not?

Dark Chocolate Chip Banana Bread

January 27, 2015 By Susannah 3 Comments

Hi friends! I’m Susannah from the blog Feast + West, and I’m a new contributor at My Cooking Spot. On my blog, I share recipes, cocktails, travel guides and the best of design. I love food that tells a story or sends you on a walk down memory lane, and I look forward to sharing it with you.

Though I get along well with most foods, bananas bring out my fickleness. I buy a bunch every so often, and I’ll enjoy eating them for a day or two. And then I’ll lose interest — it’s a texture thing — and let them sit on the counter for a few more days to earn their spots. Once they’re almost all the way brown, I get interested again.

That’s because I know that those soon-to-be-rotten yellow fruits are ripe and ready to star in an old favorite — banana bread. I love banana bread for its versatility: You can eat it for breakfast, dessert or even a snack.
