Tasty Tuesday: Going Bananas Grilled Sandwich

This is a simple lunch I make on days I have an extra large sweet tooth.

Simple, yet delicious!

Having chocolate, peanut butter and bananas all in one makes for my perfect meal.

GOING BANANAS GRILLED SANDWICH

Ingredients:
Coconut oil, about a teaspoon
Two pieces of bread (I like Ezekiel!)
Banana half, sliced
Peanut butter, a tablespoon or two
Dark chocolate square, cut or shaved into little pieces
Cinnamon

Heat the coconut oil in a skillet over medium heat. Coat one side of both pieces of bread as it melts. Spread peanut butter on bread. Place the banana slices over it. Sprinkle the dark chocolate over those. Grill both sides until it browns a bit and the chocolate melts. Then sprinkle some cinnamon on the sandwich. And finally... enjoy the sweet deliciousness!

I'm beginning to see a trend in the recipes I post -- all sweet and all include bananas. So, my goal for this week will be coming up with something that is not sweet and does not include bananas for next week's post! ;)

LATELY

So, I haven't blogged in over a week... :/ BUT I'm finally all finished with my move and gearing up to start this new chapter in my life -- and hopefully blog more regularly! :)

I saw this cute post on a blog I follow -- A Foodie Stays Fit -- and thought it would be a fun one to do to get back in the habit of blogging now that life has slowed down a bit again.
