I love me some ice cream just as much as the next girl.  But sometimes, the sugar and dairy can take a toll.  So imagine my delight upon finding this dairy-free banana "ice cream" recipe!  It was so incredible easy - in addition to the vanilla, I added some cinnamon, and the flavor was perfect!  Highly recommended dessert for those watching calories, fat, or added sugar!

Food: baked apples with cinnamon and Egyptian licorice tea

Body: 30 minutes of yoga

Mind: reading a book on the sofa wrapped in a blanket

Every fall, I look forward to one of my favorite desserts (or treats or snacks, depending on when I eat it): warm baked apples sprinkled with cinnamon.  All the tastes of autumn and warmth without the saturated fat and sugar of pie.  Ready in less than 10 minutes, it's the perfect cold-day food between meals.  Easy recipe below.
