Banana Cream Pie

Boy, was it windy out today! And not a warm wind, either. I was glad to not have to be out and about too early. While getting the ingredients out for my breakfast this morning, I came across a lone single serve packet of Barney Butter! This was the "star" ingredient in my bowl.
-1/2 cup water, 1/2 cup USVAB
-1/3 cup kamut flakes
-cinnamon
-banana
-Barney Butter
Barney Butter still isn't a fave of mine, but I'm glad I had the opportunity to test it out thanks to Coco.

My hubby and I spent the morning on the Dell website ordering my new laptop! I am so excited to be getting this, I can hardly wait! I'll finally be mobile and not stuck up in the den by myself when I preparing a post. DS had ball hockey today at noon so off we went to that. I brewed a monster size mateccino to go which held me through until we were able to eat lunch.

Speaking of lunch, I whipped another "tofudding" but used different flavours this time;
This one has 1/2 cup silken tofu, 1 cup fresh strawberries, 1/2 banana, vanilla and coconut extract, cinnamon, a drizzle of agave and a splash of USVAB. I topped it off with a bit of Cool Whip Free to make it all pretty! Then I ate a vegan ginger cookie....
Nice and spicy....just the way I like my gingerbread to be!

After lunch clean up was done we went back to the same mall we were at yesterday because they have a year round ice rink there and if you can believe it, DS wanted to go skating. Like ball hockey today wasn't enough! I am not a good skater and usually end up with sore ankles so I decided to be a spectator today rather than aggravate my ankle situation. I took a stroll through part of the mall while they were lacing up and wound up in a health food store that I noticed had a bunch of reduced items. I purchased some hemp seeds and a coconut chai tea.
I know, like I need more tea, but I couldn't pass this one up...it sounded too good! Before leaving I stopped by Tevana and grabbed an iced green matcha tea with a mango shot....
I had planned on getting this yesterday, but left without it. I'm glad I got one today because it was GOOD!!!

By the time we got home it was supper time so I got to it. My hubby had bought a seafood mix yesterday and I used it to make a sauce for dinner. Here's the blend that he bought;
It has shrimp, calamari, muscles, and squid. We are all seafood lovers in the Krista's Kravings household! To make the sauce I cooked down 2 onions and 3 cloves of garlic in 1 tbsp of avocado oil, then added the seafood and cooked over low heat until it was hot. Lastly, a can of diced tomatoes with herbs was added to the pot. The fam had theirs over macaroni, mine was served over polenta;
This meal was done in the time it took to cook the pasta and everyone loved it. I already have what little was left packed for my lunch tomorrow. :) My sweet end was the second last carob chip banana bread mini loaf;
I was feeling a little wild last night and decided at 9pm to make this banana cream pie for my hubby that Veggie Girl directed me to;
Seeing as I knew I wouldn't be touching this with a ten foot pole, instead of lightening it up like I usually do, I actually fattened it up! The recipe called for 1% milk, but the fam drinks 2% so that's what I used. Also, I just baked off a Tender Flake crust instead of making the graham cracker one. Here's a side view;
It must've been good because my hubby had a second piece....for lunch dessert!!!
He added Cool Whip to his pieces which he said made the pie. Next time I'll spread a layer of that right on top or maybe even fold it into the custard part. And by next time I mean tomorrow night because him and the kids have managed to eat pretty much the whole pie today.

I'm off now to help DS with some homework and then I want to catch up on my blog reading for the day. I'm also gonna try to fit in a bit of a workout later on. Ambitious, I know!

Bye for now!
