Sometimes I struggle to pass a good deal, especially when it comes to apples and bananas. At Ingles near my work, I often find good (almost green) bananas on manager’s special ($1.49 for a bag) and bags of apples for the same price. So I buy apples with hopes of making apple sauce and I buy bananas to make muffins, smoothies and to freeze the rest of later use.
This week I was planning to make apple sauce with several bags of apples that have been collecting dust in the fridge. Unfortunately I got so busy that I never made time for apple sauce this week, but will try again next week.
However, I was inspired to cook, so I used up a few bananas to make muffins for my hubby. He was a happy camper.
I also froze several bananas for later use and make a yummy peanut butter banana smoothie using a recipe that my reader recommended some time ago.
What do you do with cheap produce?
OMG produce doesn't last in our house.
ReplyDeleteMy husband and my kids tear through it before I get a chance to think about it... lol...
I bought YELLOW bananas the other day, and I told my hubs that they needed to be eaten or they'd be bread. (i don't eat bananas... yuck!) and he goes "thats okay too"
They were gone in 2 days. No time to turn brown and become bread.
You should go to www.mrsmuffins.com she made a banana cake for her husbands birthday... it looked phenomenal!
