Default What to do?

Gosh I hate to waste food, but someone sent me a bunch of fruit for X-
mas, including a huge bunch of bananas that thankfully are still
green, but will all ripen about the same day. I don't eat bananas and
my daugher only eats half a banana each school day morning on her
oatmeal, so I need to come up with a plan. I think she can manage to
week the kiwi, apples, and oranges in time but I guess I will have to
take the bananas over to a neighbor. At least they didn't send
chocolate or other candy. Actually, I have no compunction to throw
candy away though. After Halloween, I had to purge my daughter's
candy bag of all the sweet tarts, sour this and sour that, and just
leave a few pieces of chocolate. That's really all she likes anyway.
The rest went straight to the trash were it couldn't hurt anyone.

A lot of would be dieter's use this kind of situation as an excuse to
overeat. Parents tend to eat the food their children have left, often
while standing at the sink. Since that wasn't really their food to
begin with, they conveniently forget those calories. Of course just
having food in front of you is a kind of temptation, so for many it
might be a good idea to get the excess food out of the house. Dkw

****, you throw out egg yolks on a daily basis...what's the problem
with tossing $2 worth of bananas?

Easy. Offer the bananas to a owner of a monkey in your neighborhood!
You'll make a friend -the monkey- by the same token!

Well, the difference is that I don't think of egg yolks as healthy
food, but bananas in moderation are. Banana BREAD is a different
manner. It's really banana cake of course. I would and do throw out
pretty much any non-diet food that finds its way into the house
usually as a gift. Subtle difference I know, unless a person is
serious about weight control, in which case they don't want fattening
or nonhealthy foods even around them.

Banana bread/cake made from overripe bananas is hard to beat, but I'm
afraid just having that delicious warm, sweet banana (and pecan) smell
in my house would tip me over the edge irretrievably into the vast
abyss of porkiness.

How about putting it in the kid's cereal? Or make a healthy smoothie
out of it? Or PB and banana sandwich?

Those are the ones I could think off off the top of my head at this
time in the morning. I would, however, advise you to go to either
epicurious or allrecipes and do a query for recipes that has bananas
in it that the kid would like.

All else fails, I would donate it to your local food bank for this
Christmas. (Not the store with the bins, but like actually a soups
kitchen type of place.) They would love your food donation!

Cheers,
J

I'm having a very faint memory of some fruits which can be frozen in
chuncks (peel and cut into pieces) and eaten as some kind of
popsicles. I *think bananas was included in that category.

Thanks. All good ideas and I do put banana on her oatmeal, but that's
one half banana a day and I have about 20 of the things. Problem
solved. I gave most to a neighbor with 5 kids. dkw

Cover them in chocolate and keep them in the freezer!!

Can you freeze peeled bananas for later use? They probably wouldn't be
great for eating on putting on cold cereal, but you could maybe thaw them
and use them in hot cereal like oatmeal. Whenever I add banana to my
oatmeal I usually mash it up and stir it in rather than cutting it into
chunks.
