Oh dear, where did the time go? You don't fit into the frame anymore!
Then I remembered I fixed a batch of cookies using the recipe provided in the video here. Whew! I swear it only took me all of 5 minutes. It was so easy and so cheap, and they did not taste bad either! Best of all, they were healthy and sugar-free!
I wasn't able to take photos of the process because it is messy, but here are some of the cookies:
Moist banana-oatmeal cookies
Like in the video, I just got two medium-sized bananas and poured oats over them. Then, I mashed like there was no tomorrow. You need to do it; it's very therapeutic! Nakakawala ng stress. And I could not resist adding some chocolate chips into them. Yum!
After that, I popped them into the microwave on a High setting for 1 minute. I made a mistake on my second batch. I tried to extend the time to 2 minutes, so they came out with hard parts. Nevertheless, they were still yum.
Now that I know Yuri's breakfast was already ready, all I needed to do was whip up dessert. Since we still had some bananas and a basket of papayas (there's no shortage of tropical fruits in our household), I decided to make banana-papaya smoothie.
Only 3 ingredients: Papayas, bananas, and cream
(I would have preferred yogurt, but we did not have any.)
I used three medium-sized bananas and a whole solo papaya (small). I don't know exactly how much cream I used; I only added along to suit my taste, but it wasn't more than three tablespoons.
So smooth!
Finished product
I poured some into Yuri's cup and the rest into a container I use for my homemade ice cream. I placed it into the freezer so we would have healthy shmealthy ice cream laterz!
And that, ladies and gentlemen, takes care of our breakfast, dessert, and afternoon snack. What a breeze!
PS: I did not take a photo of our breakfast table because it was unsightly. Crumbs everywhere, milk everywhere. Also, Yuri's sippy cup is not exactly Pinterest-worthy. I should get myself a couple of Bell Mason jars for Christmas.
PPS: Since the first time I made my own healthy, banana-based ice cream, I have already made two more. I found out that it is best to use cream over milk. I used fresh milk once, and the ice cream turned really hard, not like the texture of commercial ice cream. It still tastes good, but I had to thaw it in the microwave before serving. Yes, it's that hard.
