I am finding inspiration for the UnBox Your Kitchen Podcasts in unexpected and fun ways. Today’s episode is a great example. On Monday, July 24th, I posted the following on the UnBox Your Kitchen Facebook closed group:

“Bananas were on sale and you couldn’t resist buying a lot of
them and now they’re getting too ripe. What do you do with them?”

I was surprised by the responses. I expected to see banana bread on top of the list. The popular reply was to freeze them!

In episode #006 Let’s Talk Bananas I share:

  • what I do with overripe bananas
  • more responses from the group members
  • two banana ice cream recipes
  • my family’s Banana Bread
