I have a serious soft spot for bananas but I am getting sick of doing the same old things with them. Making muffins, peanut butter and banana sandwiches you name it! I need some fresh ideas cause I'm all out of them! Help!!!!

Bananas are kind of hard to incorporate into a lot of meals. I like bananas with cereal, pancakes, fruit salads and ice cream. You said you make banana muffins well I'd say try to bake a pie with bananas. My mom used to make cherry-banana pie and it was really good. I like the sweetness of bananas and I would try to introduce banana stuffed pastries or something with baked chicken and a banana stuffing mix. I am very imaginative in the kitchen and a terrific cook to boot so I bet I'd think of something. I was watching this show on the Food Network where the chefs had to find some imaginative uses for the banana and they were all having some difficulties. How about banana knishes? Smashed banana, breaded with flour and lightly fried? Oh I almost forgot banana and cheese. I learned that from watching Mr. Roger's Neighborhood as a kid. Take regular American slice cheese and wrap it around a banana. Don't knock it till you try it!! Banana cookies. Banana bread. Just some ideas here.....

I was thinking of fried banana won tons but I wonder what I'd use to dip them in. Bananas and cream whipped together would make a great dessert topping!!!
