Some health complications landed me a stay in the hospital earlier this week. Thankfully all is okay now, but while I'm recovering, I've been instructed to stick with a low-fat diet until further notice. That didn't sound unreasonable until my sweet tooth caught wind of the limitations and realized we were putting the brakes on our late night ice cream and chocolate snacking. So that left me wondering what exactly I could exchange those unhealthy options for but still satisfy those sweet cravings I usually get as the day wears on. So I started flipping through all of the desserts on Golden Blossom Honey to see if anything would fit the bill and actually ended up with a fantastic option: Warm Bananas with Citrus Salsa.
This low-fat dessert is warm, inviting, and sweet enough to to curb the cravings on those desserts that are higher in fat. I do love a good caramelized dessert, and this one is definitely a keeper. Aside from peeling the fruit, there's hardly any prep time involved in getting the recipe together, which I really appreciate since I'd rather focus more on recovery these days than spending a lot of time in the kitchen. While we still have some chilly nights ahead of us this spring, this is the perfect cozy dessert to indulge in without guilt. Honestly, it's great for summer, fall, and winter too. Because we don't need the weather to dictate when we can enjoy a tasty treat like this, do we?

Theresa, I'm so sorry to hear you were hospitalized. That must've been scary. I hope you feel better soon. This fruity dessert looks delicious! Banana and honey is always a good combo.
ReplyDeleteWeather dictating what one eats, nah. Screw mother nature haha sounds almost as easy as ice cream.
