Banana Ice Cream. Guilt free! And how to manage the growing bump and bust...

As I shared last week, I am pregnant!  6 months and really starting to feel and look pregnant.  I have had to reshuffle my closet so that the stretchy, flowy items are within reach and anything with a waist or fitted up top is banished to the dark recesses... for now.

I also have had to go and buy all new bras.  I literally have gone up three cup sizes which is exciting on the one hand and a pain in the ass on the other.  The Gap was a great stop for me over the weekend-- their little bralettes are comfortable and cheap and come in lots of fun colors.  I also got one of their t-shirt bras, which are inexpensive and pretty with some lace detailing on the front and sides.

And everyone asks if I have any cravings or repulsions.  The only weirdness for me is an aversion to carrots-- an innocuous veg that I normally like a lot.  I also have been having lusty cravings for baked goods and sweetness in general-- from a cinnamon bun to pineapple to my latest fantastically delicious and healthy frozen sweet treat!  "Guilt Free Banana Ice Cream." And by the way, I justify my more liberal allotment of sweets these days as a fair trade off for the sugars I normally consume from wine!!  Fair and square.

So I discovered this amazingness on Pinterest (another obsession!  Especially as I am in full blown nesting mode and wanting to redecorate my entire house-- more on that to come).  With only two ingredients-- frozen bananas and peanut butter (I subbed almond butter), this is an easy, delicious and healthy dessert!  The recipe and photos are from the blog Two Peas and Their Pod:
