Can The Adults Have A Little Ice Cream With Their Rum? Please?

Whenever I go over to my friend Lisa's house, we have a great time. See post: Dance, Dance Revolution. But, we almost always, have food too. Not just food. But, pause, enter- angels singing, *FOOD*

The other night was no exception. She and I made, wait for it... Banana Foster Ice Cream Sundaes. Oh, yes we did! And with the left over rum, we had ourselves a cocktail. Don't worry, it was a Monday night and the kids were watching a movie, it was totally legit.


If you too would like to enjoy this delicious treat, you can- you know you want to!


Banana Foster Ala Mama Lisa

1/4 cup butter

2/3 cup dark brown sugar

3 1/2 tablespoons rum

1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

3 bananas, peeled and sliced and diced

1 pint vanilla ice cream

1. In a large sauce pan, heat butter and brown sugar until melted.

2. Add vanilla.

3. Add banana.

4. Splash in the rum- then light it all on fire with a match. Oh yeah- bring the heat. Don't worry, we are fire fighter's wives, we are basically professionals.

5. Sprinkle cinnamon and let it cool and thicken.

6. Pour over vanilla ice cream and enjoy with a Rum and Coke. But you gotta hurry, the kids might find you.

Totally worth the calories. I am hitting the gym later today anyways.
