One of our new favorite treats is banana ice cream, it is super-easy, and healthy, because the one and only ingredient is BANANAS! Whenever I get bananas on sale I buy several bunches. The first time I did, I thought that Daddy was going to have a break-down over the amount of bananas in the kitchen! He kept telling the kids to eat a banana, and he himself ate at least 4 bananas a day that weekend! Thankfully he went back to work, otherwise we wouldn't have had any tasty ripe bananas for ice cream! Here's how to do it: 
Slice and freeze ripe banana slices (the brown-black skinned ones like you would use for banana bread are the best since they are really sweet and they have reached the point that no one wants to eat them because they are mushy).
If I leave them in the freezer too long, they start to disappear off the tray, as you can see by the circle shapes in the wax paper :)

Once the slices are frozen solid, place them into a food processor and blend with the chopping blade, until the bananas are completely pureed.
Almost there...
The little dark flecks are a Hershey's bar that jumped out of the cabinet and into the food processor :) It's really tasty with peanutbutter too!
