(Pictures/Food/Recipe) Dope flicks AND a dope ICE CREAM recipe via Former 2 X of the Week @SantanaCaress

Follow her Tumblr her..

Okay here is the ICE CREAM RECIPE.. I have to give her a hat tip 'cause without her, I would have NEVER seen it. So kudos to her for this.

Simple Strawberry Banana Ice Cream - serves 8 (makes approximately 64 ounces)
4 large bananas, frozen
4 cups strawberries, frozen
2 tablespoons sugar

Place strawberries in a bowl or measuring cup, sprinkle with sugar and toss to combine.  Place bowl in microwave at 30 second intervals until the strawberries soften slightly and the sugar dissolves in the juice.

Add bananas and strawberry mixture to the blender and blend until they reach the perfect consistency.

When your ice cream stops moving in the blender, you will want to stop and scrape down the pitcher of the blender and stir a few times.  About 2-3 minutes total blending time.

Your frozen fruit may separate into tiny frozen chunks before it becomes a fabulous creamy consistency, so be patient.

Serve and enjoy! You can also transfer to a freezer safe container and allow ice cream to firm up in the freezer for 2 to 3 hours.

*NOTE:  There are no preservatives in your ice cream, so it will freeze solid.  Simply remove from freezer 10 minutes before serving to allow to soften slightly.  If freezes and keeps beautifully!

(Pictures/Videos/Health) Twitter 2 X Of The Week: @SantanaCaress

This week I am going to take it back to the essence and spirit of this post. For real. "Every day folks" who deserve some shine but aren't out looking for it. This week I picked a person who unbeknownst to her, has stopped me from eating a cheeseburger or something bad with her food posts. (Her and my girl Pele aka Whatsherface , reminded me of good music that I need to go revisit and has had me cracking up in public on more than one occasion when I read her tweets. I present to you the woman who will  "cook like your mother". Santana Caress Benitez...



So yes, you get to a two for one today! You get a flick and VIDEO. Actually a three for one. You get some healthy food tips as well. From my Afro-Latina friend... Enjoy and be respectful if you decide to follow her. She is VERY WELL VERSED in many subjects so feel free to hit her up. The irony of the 'healthy' statement is the cookie recipe is not but it is okay. The shake video is. Oh and for you ladies that like her hair, there is a hair video down there too. An example of what you might find in her Twitpics....
