🍌 What to do when you have too many bananas: make Grilled Banana Boats recipe 🚣‍♂️

😘 Ingredients:

• 
  · 2 ripe bananas
• · 2 tablespoons dark chocolate chips
• · 2 tablespoons shredded coconut
• · 2 tablespoons chopped nuts (e.g., pecans or almonds)
• · Aluminum foil

🏄‍♂️ Instructions:

• 
  · Slice each banana lengthwise down the middle, but don’t cut all the way through - leave the peel intact to form a "boat."
• · Gently open the banana and stuff with chocolate chips, shredded coconut, and nuts.
• · Wrap each banana in aluminum foil.
• · Grill over medium heat (or bake in the oven at 375°F) for 10–12 minutes, until the banana is soft and the chocolate is melted.
• · Carefully unwrap and serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

👌 This fun dessert is easy to make and highlights banana's natural sweetness!

🍉 What is your favorite Guava variety?

Our top pick? Tikal Guava!

Okay, we'll admit it - the tree growth habit can be pretty weird: branches grow at some interesting 90-degree angles, giving it a bit of a wild, chaotic vibe. Think Barbados Cherry bush - if you've seen that unruly spectacle! 😰

But let's focus on what really matters: the fruit. Tikal produces the best pink guava, no contest! It is disease-resistant, fast-growing, super sweet, and boasts very few seeds - huge bonus! Plus, Tikal is a reliable producer, making it perfect for beginners or anyone eager for quick, delicious results. 🌟

🍍 We ate all pineapples from that ugly corner!

All the Pineapples that we mentioned in our earlier post, have ripened and we already ate them all!
Note that this amazing fruit grows in the most neglected corner of the yard, with NO irrigation, and in pretty hot sunny spot - by the water treatment tank. Yet look how happy the plants are!
