hello everyone and good afternoon... can you believe that summer is almost over... depressing isn't it... not to say i'm not looking forward to fall, but it's been quite an enjoyable summer, and i don't want it to end...
we've been up to so much around here, maine is beautiful during the summer and we've been fully taking advantage of the outdoors... it has been amazing exploring our surrounding area and getting to know more about where we live... oh... and the hubby and i got to take an amazing vacation to aruba... we went with my sister, her fiance and my cousin and her boyfriend... it was a blast, and it was about time me and the hubs had some time together... it's been about 6 years since me and the hubs have gone away together, and i think it was well deserved :)
and while there my hubby surprised me... while at dinner, in the middle of the restaurant he stands up and proceeds to tell everyone how much he loves me, and us... and i'm completely mortified by this point... but then he goes on to say, this wasn't a proposal because we were already married, then he got down on his knee pulled out a gorgeous ring, and asked me to stay married to him... what a guy, huh?!? and needless to say, i was crying and beyond happy... i love this man :)
okay so... bananaramel... you've heard of banoffee pie, which is a combination of banana and toffee... a bananarmel is a combo of banana and caramel... i don't actually think it's a real word for a pie, but i'm sticking to it... so this is the break down...
i made a simple graham cracker crust, and then layered a bunch of homemade salt caramel on top...
then i topped the caramel with slices of banana...
then i covered it with a vanilla mousse, and let it set for a few hours...
topped it with some more caramel... and then...
i stuffed my face...
i hope you enjoyed this... and until next time... happy baking everyone :)
