This post is in direct response to all of you who have emailed me or contacted me on Facebook looking for a clean eating version of Cool Whip. I’ve never had the stuff, but apparently, many of you find it quite addicting and tough to give up in your efforts to clean up your diet. [Read more →]

Oh dear.

Can you forgive me for doing two dessert posts so close together? I really do apologize.

Yes, I recently did a post on Chocolate Banana Ice Cream. But the number of bananas that ended up in my shopping basket this week was kind of prolific, and I just couldn’t pass up the chance to experiment with the Banana Ice Cream recipe again.

I have to tell you, this is one of the most sinful desserts I’ve had since starting my clean eating program.  It was a recipe that Danica from DanicasDaily gave me at our blogger’s luncheon. If memory serves, she said her sister had passed it on to her.
