Caramelized Bananas Over Date Rice Pudding!

I have decided to end my day on a high note....

Caramelized bananas over Date Rice Pudding.

The illustrator does this with a little brown sugar, some vanilla and a little earth balance (although I think coconut oil would be heavenly too if we had some).

Seriously, I'm kind of over today and I don't feel like being a Debbie Downer. Nothing bad happened, I just haven't slept well in about 5 days and with all the number crunching I did this week, my brain is fried! My sweet husband made me this sweet treat so I'm going to enjoy it and call it a night.

A sweet treat at the end of the night makes all my days better. Especially if it's made by my husband (which doesn't happen very often!). :)
