I planted my vegetable garden for the 2nd year and a row – FINGERS CROSSED! Last year, it just wasn't a good experience. We think it was due to the lack of sun because of so many trees in our back yard. This year its in a NEW and IMPROVED location. Growing up, my mom planted a HUGE garden every year, so I can't imagine not carrying on that tradition. Just because I love veggies now, doesn't mean I always have – but I do remember them tasting "better" when I was picking them out of my moms garden (I do believe this is where my love for tomatoes started). We would go in the backyard, salt shaker in hand, and eat tomatoes! A few years in a row, my mom also jarred tomatoes. These made the BEST sauces and snacks. I don't think I have quite that many plants, but hey – maybe they will be very fruitful. Ive been trying to talk to it and coax it into growing lots of veggie goodness. (Im not crazy – there has been studies showing that if you talk to your plants they grow faster. !)
For the recipe today, I decided to come at you with a little snack – Chocolate covered bananas! These are something that you can bring to a BBQ, or just keep in your fridge when your having a chocolate moment. This recipe was derived from a almond butter cup recipe and can easily be adapted back!
