These cupcakes remind me of a smoothie! There a wonderful fruity concoction and not too sweet. 


Banana cupcake

1 cup sugar 
3 bananas mashed
2 tsp baking powder
2 eggs
1/2 cup butter

Mix ingredients and bake at 350 for 20 min.

For the frosting 
1 cup butter
2 cups powdered sugar 
about 10 pureed strawberries

Puree strawberries and add to whipped butter and powdered sugar!

*** When I made this I didn't have powdered sugar so I made my own!
In a food processor add one cup sugar and 2 tbs corn starch ....MMM!

Blackened Halibut tacos and Bananas Dulce for desert!

Dinner tonight is halibut tacos!  I had left over halibut and got beautiful cilantro coming up so tacos it is.

- Cubed halibut
-Cajun seasoning ( I like Hot Daddy's)
-6 wheat tortillas
-1 bunch cilantro
-  small container sour cream
- 1 head cabbage ( I like using cabbage instead of lettuce for extra crunch!)
- 1 red onion( chopped)
- 1 tomato (sliced)
-1/4 cup shredded pepperjack cheese
- 1 can Herdez cesera salsa

Sear halibut on each side then lower heat and fry each side 5 minutes.  Fry tortillas and top with halibut and toppings.  Quick and easy.


                                                                       Bananas Dulce

I attended school in Mexico for a year and while there I discovered how delicious fried bananas are. This is my take on it!

- 2-3 ripe Bananas
- 1/2 cup Brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
- 4tbs Vegtable oil
- 2 Scoops vanilla bean ice cream
- Whipping cream

 Slice the bananas in small pieces.  Mix brown sugar and cinnamon. In a frying pan  heat the oil on medium heat, sate bananas ( bananas stick really easily so be careful not to burn ) add brown sugar and cinnamon reduce until  brown sugar is dissolved and is slightly caramelized.  Top ice cream with the banana mixture and whipped cream, drizzle on extra sauce.   This is cheap and delicious.  Its warm and cold and oh so good.
