Ok…so…i…a..had a bit of a typo in my last post and suddenly wish i had a good sugar free banana syrup recipe. I don’t know how to make banana sugar free syrup. Sorry =)
I was referring to Banana’s Foster BFL style.
-Saute bananas in a non stick pan and towards the end i add 1 table spoon of sugar free syrup to caramelize it.
-While sauteing up the bananas i pop 1/2 cup of low fat cottage cheese in the microwave for 20 sec to warm it up.
-Then top it with the caramelized bananas. It’s not my recipe it’s based on an Eating for Life Banana’s Foster. 
Takes 5 min to whipped up and is supper low calorie and always hits the spot. Enjoy =)
Weekend Update: I took more like 2 days off but enjoy a lot of yummy things and now it’s back to business.
Today: I got off track but got right back on and kept total calories low.
Breakfast: eggs, apple
Snack: Protein shake made with milk
Lunch: Turkey sandwich on Home made sourdough bread =)
Cardio: 50min bike
Snack: here’s where i botched it
The botch: Chocolate frosting and gram crackers (more below…)
The Recovery Dinner: Veggie Fry over Brown Rice with scrambled eggs on the side (cheep protein)
Snack: Sauted Bananas and Sugar Free Syrup, served over warm Cottage Cheese
Gym: Skip. Running low grade fever glad i got 50min in earlier
The Botch: both kids were crying and looking at me…i was about to crash and just started to laugh. The 3 year old didn’t like that. The 18mo old decided he could stop crying if mom was laughing. I made them both a sweet starchy snack to pick up their serotonin levels. I was also stressing out over finances and sister “blegh” and decided to have a couple myself. In the moment it was to calm my nerves, but in hind sight i realize i gone too long without a snack and that’s why i was stressing and crashing.
The Recovery: This is the part that matters. I really did have quite the rough day, but i re-focused on my goal and made a supper healthy dinner. It was delicious. When i cook (which is not very often), I make it in bulk for leftovers and to save time on lunches or dinners two days down the road.
Onions, Green Peppers, Mushrooms, Zucchini, and Yellow Squash. Seasoned with Mrs. Dash Table Blend, Lemon Pepper, Tastefully Simple Garlic Garlic, Garlic Salt, Pepper and 1 T of Vinegar (great cooking wine substitute).
Tuesday:
Breakfast: 6 Egg Whites, Apple
Snack: Protein Shake w/ Milk
Cardio: 50min Bike
Lunch: Turkey Sandwich
Snack: Protein Shake, Bran Flakes and Milk
Dinner: Lemon Chicken, Broccoli, Potato
Snack: Bananas Sugar Free Syrup cooked and served over warm Cottage Cheese
Happy Monday…if that’s appropriate =)

Nice job…I completely agree that it’s the recovery that matters! (Hey, we’re all only human!
) I think your bananas foster over warm cottage cheese sounds FANTASTIC! I’ll definitely be making that, thanks for sharing!
