Kick ‘um for Kids

Fresh lemons and ginger

Kick ‘um Juice is a ginger, hot pepper, turmeric and lemon juice that has amazing benefits as a health and immune boost. Many have used it effectively in their cancer protocols.

Combining ginger, turmeric, lemon, and honey with hot water is a great tea to drink when you experience any cold symptoms. These fresh ingredients bring many benefits whether you have a cold, or just want to stay healthy. Both ginger and turmeric are anti-inflammatory. Fresh lemons are a fabulous source of natural viatmin C.

Ginger root

I made a delicious ginger, lemon and honey drink, added fizzy water, and was refreshed with something similar to a homemade ginger ale. I didn’t have any turmeric, but if I had some I would have only added it to the last 5 minutes of simmering. If you don’t like fizzy, just drink it straight, or add water if desired.

Method

Sliced ginger simmering in a covered pot

Slice about an inch of fresh ginger really thin. Put in a pot and cover with about 1/2 gallon (1 liter) boiling water. Cover and simmer for 1/2 – 1 hour. The more ginger you use the stronger the ginger flavor. Turn off heat and allow to cool.

Add raw local honey to taste, perhaps 1/4 – 1/2 cup (honey has many benefits, including soothing coughs) and store in the refrigerator. When ready to serve, pour into a glass, add the juice of 1/2 fresh lemon. Add some fizzy water if desired. Or, for simplicity, add lemon and fizzy water and keep in a bottle with a tight lid and use throughout the day.

Optional: add cayenne pepper if you can handle the HOT! Cayenne pepper provides many benefits.

Always find raw local honey. Mass produced honey that you buy in a supermarket does not provide the same benefits as local raw honey. Find the best honey available in your area.

Drink for coughs. Drink to treat allergies. Drink for sore throats. Drink for headache. Drink for refreshment.

Busy moms need an easy way to help their little ones stay healthy. Having sick miserable children makes us all want an “instant solution”!

Natural remedies support the body’s ability to heal. Avoiding pharmaceutical and typical OTC medications results in long term health. All pharmaceutical products come with unwanted side effects.

If you have coughing children or are facing yet another round of colds, you’ve probably tried a lot of different ways to help them. I hope you will find this Ginger Ale an easy effective treatment! Here is another easy natural way of soothing cough and cold symptoms.

Beware of Snakes

Photo of a red snake with bands of black an white.

Creative Writing based on 2 Corinthians 11 – an ancient letter written by Paul to the people of Corinth who were facing a conflict about who they should trust, who they should follow, who they should believe.

“But I am afraid that just as Eve was deceived by the snake’s cunning, your minds may somehow be led astray from your sincere and pure devotion to Christ.” v3

For if ‘experts’ come to you and preach a salvation outside of Jesus, you put up with it easily enough. They offer ‘salvation through man-made technology’ or ‘salvation through man-made medicine’.

I don’t think I am inferior to your white coats. I may not have their intensive indoctrination —err training. I may not be eloquent, but I have knowledge. I have dedicated myself to focus on the topic of health and asked the Holy Spirit to guide me with insight and courage to share unpopular information. The U.S. has exported many things to the world. We even proudly export our ‘health care’ when we have an abysmal health track record.

I’ve never charged for my information. I share freely. My husband supports me marvelously.

WHO, CDC, NIH, FDA – these organizations (and many others) are the epitome of false prophets, deceitful workers, masquerading as bearers of truth. There may be some good people working in these places, but these significant agencies have been hijacked and captured by those who would profit from lies.

Are we surprised? “Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light!” v. 14

“It is not surprising, then, if his servants also masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their end will be what their actions deserve.” v. 15

“You gladly put up with fools since you are so wise.” v. 19 You put up with fools who have status, degrees, positions. People who openly defy God yet proclaim their strategies as the hope of mankind.

“In fact, you put up with anyone who enslaves you or exploits you or takes advantage of you or puts on airs” or injects poisons into your children. Or mandates poison so you can work, or travel, or attend events. Or forces you to deprive yourself of oxygen. You put up with it.

I admit that I am not that forceful. I will share what I believe to be true and encourage you to make your own decisions. I won’t tell you what to do. I will warn you of the harms of certain medical procedures that are being pushed on us. Get all the information you can and choose wisely.

Holding to the truth may mean you will be rejected by your own family, scorned, maligned. Stay anchored, unwavering from the hope in Jesus you profess.

Do I make mistakes? Yes. Do I know everything? No. Even now, I may be wrong, but you can absolutely trust that I am not lying.

Let God be praised and glorified as we seek the ONLY salvation and ONLY hope for our time, Jesus Christ.

Germ theory explored

How would you treat a sick fish? Theory One: medicate the fish. Theory Two: clean the tank

The following 19 minute video explores the broad concept of terrain theory versus germ theory, the corona virus, the current experimental medical injection being widely promoted with an explanation of some of the ingredients, and the history of viruses as contagious from older books, papers, and experiments. I learned a lot. This is one of the best explanations of the flaws of germ theory succinctly explained that I have found. I’m not 100% sure that it’s 100% correct, but certainly worth a critical viewing.

Why you can’t catch a virus – great explanation

Critical thinking is about believing more true things and believing less false things. As we research medical and health claims we are often challenged by opinions, dogma, marketing, propaganda, and politics. Science has become a label but doesn’t always fit our understanding of the word. Most of us assume science is trustworthy. We assume science is based on clear evidence and fact. There are many excellent scientists seeking to understand, test, verify, and report on experiments. But there are also many using the term ‘science’ to support their business and marketing strategy.

Part of critical thinking is finding quality evidence. I found the evidence presented in the latter part of the video on early studies trying to show that polio and influenza were contagious very intriguing. Researchers went to extreme measures to try to transmit the virus from sick people to healthy, but failed to do so IN EVERY INSTANCE. You can read more about the experiments with Spanish Flu published on 2 August 1919 here. I find this particularly surprising in light of all we’ve heard in the media for the last 40 years or so, with heavier and heavier emphasis on infectious viruses in the last couple decades. In the video there is a reference to a documentary entitled Biochemistry Debunks Corona. In case you’d like to view more information, not only on corona but on pursuing true health, here it is: https://brandnewtube.com/v/xiqLrA

We may never know all the details that are at work behind the scenes in our brilliantly designed bodies. Exploring a variety of opinions and allowing ourselves to ask questions and consider answers is helpful before holding tightly to conclusions. Can you investigate two opposing ideas fully and fairly?

More and more health practitioners provide clear steps to health: reduce exposure to toxins, eat good clean food, get good sleep, get outdoors, find exercise you enjoy, maintain healthy relationships, and seek your Creator. Basically, reduce the yuk stuff of life, and add more clean stuff! The picture of the fish is a great illustration. ‘What can we do every day to help keep my environment clean?’ is a far better question than, ‘What sickness do I have and what drugs do I need to take to treat it?’

Another critically important question is, ‘If I’m healthy do I really need to inject this chemical concoction into my body to stay that way?’ You can explore more here.

Of course, ‘If my baby/child is healthy, do I need to inject him regularly according to a schedule designed by people with strong connections to an industry that profits from illness?’ is one of the most important questions a parent can consider. I’ve been researching and writing on this topic for years. I’ve collected information to help parents explore here.

"terrain est tout." (The microbe is nothing, the terrain is everything) -- The last words of Louis Pasteur (Father of the "Ger Theory" of disease): Germs Cause Disease or "Treat the patient, not the infection." Dis-ease is from a Weakened Immune System. Germ theory: Vaccinate the fish versus Terrain Theory: clean the tank?

Take your time. Explore evidence. Never make a decision on the basis of fear. The only fear we need is fear of God. When we truly fear God, we don’t fear anything else.

Have I been tricked?

There is a saying that it’s easier to fool someone than to convince someone that they have been fooled.

There is another saying that it’s easier to convince people of a huge lie than a small one.

Once our thinking is built on a foundation of lies or half truths we have a hard time discerning truth. How do we know?

There is another concept I’ve encountered that goes something like this, “Those who control the present, control the past. Those who control the past, control the future.”

Schools throughout the world teach history. Rarely will the curriculums from one country to another align. Sometimes different regions of a country have different history. Information about the past is transmitted to the next generations via curriculum for a variety of reasons. Many Christian homeschoolers carefully choose curricula that will support their Biblical world view. As a resident, turned citizen, of South Africa from 1983 to 2013, I heard a lot of discussion about educational curriculum in light of the profound changes the country experienced. Many past events were revised with a new understanding in light of the release of Nelson Mandela from prison and his election as President of the country that had once considered him a dangerous terrorist.

Rarely is history as clear as we’d like to be able to teach our children. Many of us grew up hearing lots of dates and facts in history class and lost interest in the topic. The intrigues of nation against nation and political rise and fall doesn’t captivate very many. Learning early on that history is boring, we put our attention and energy into areas that are more captivating.

As a retired homeschool mom [all five have long since graduated], I’ve grown to be very intrigued by history and explored a variety of different sources. The reality of the role of propaganda throughout history is undeniable, yet none of us wants to admit we have been a victim of propaganda! Could much of our early education and exposure to media have been part of a tactic to influence or control my thinking? We pride ourselves on our independent thought, yet how independent is my understanding of world affairs both past and present?

One thing I have learned in light of recent crazy events, God’s word is a great place to place my trust. The old testament accounts sound amazingly similar to what we are witnessing first hand today. God’s word is true. God is trustworthy. As I view current events in light of God’s eternal truths, I have more understanding. I also have confidence in our all powerful God!

He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For by Him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities: All things were created by Him and for Him. He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together. Colossians 1:15-17

God is still in control. All things are working for His purpose and for our ultimate good.

I found this lecture/interview with Professor Mark Crispin Miller from NYU quite profound. He is a student and teacher of propaganda throughout history. He makes some pretty startling statements in this 30 minute interview.

Here are the highlights:

Mark Cripsin Miller: “It seems to me that the year 2020 and the first half of 2021 have comprised a global propaganda spectacle of unprecedented scale and sophistication. I for one believe that we were subjected to a series of carefully planned psychological operations over the course of 2020 and just beyond. I think it started with the roll-out of the virus. This particular instance of fear-mongering is the most persuasive, the most compelling, the most devastating kind of fear-mongering that’s ever really been used in the history of propaganda and that’s really saying something. We’ve seen the fear propaganda move from the Hun to Communism to Terrorism but now it makes the crucial move to the thing itself. The thing with which previous enemies have been compared. The evocation of The Virus Is All Around Us was enough to turn the wits of millions of highly educated people. It’s a very easy matter to get people to do what you want. Just convince them they’re under attack and that anyone who argues with that claim is putting them at risk.”

“Propaganda is the executive arm of the invisible government,” wrote Edward Bernays [in 1929], the father of modern propaganda. In part one of Episode 17, Mark Crispin Miller, professor of Media Studies at New York University, discusses the propaganda onslaught that defined the year 2020, when what was dismissed one week is confirmed the next, and why questioning official narratives “necessarily means taking ‘conspiracy theory’ seriously.”

We can feel uneasy and unsettled when faced with such information. Sometimes we prefer to bury our heads in the sand and pretend our fantasy picture of the world is accurate! Understanding that there is something not quite right about the narrative we’ve been presented can actually open up our faith and cause us to grow as we seek to know God and call on Him to guide us as we navigate life with a new understanding. God is faithful. He is calling His children to trust Him. He is still at work building His Kingdom. We need to re-evaluate our tightly held ideas about the world and re-examine everything in light of God’s unfailing truth.

Ultimately we can no longer live in a fantasy world. The adage, “What you don’t know doesn’t hurt you,” is changed to “What you do know won’t hurt you.”

Death via a ‘health’ treatment?

She should be turning 3 years old in 23 days, having a blast at a party just for her.

Pfizer took her life instead.

Why I allowed unstudied, dangerous chemicals in a syringe, produced by a habitual-offending felon & the largest pharmaceutical criminal enterprise in the world to be shot into my baby.. is beyond me.

Evee Gayle Clobes, August 19th, 2018-March 1st, 2019, died shortly after receiving the recommended 6 month vaccines, Pediarix and Prevnar. Her fight is still ongoing. www.justiceforevee.org 

Death via injection is not a new phenomenon, but never before have so many deaths been associated with one single injection: the experimental liability free product now being pushed throughout the world in the name of ‘health’, ‘prevention’, and ‘safety’.

11,405 deaths have been reported to VAERS in just over 6 months (as of 16 July 2021). This is astronomically more deaths than any other vaccine ever brought to the market.

The graph on the left shows results up to May 28 is startling in itself. But the value reached at that stage has already more than doubled.

Every needless death is a tragedy. The companies perpetuating an untested, known to be harmful product with zero liability have little motivation to improve. Thank you Catie Clobes for your dedication to educating others in the hope that they will be able to heed your warning and thus avoid experiencing the same pain.

As of 16 July 2021 there have been 11,405 death reported to the US Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS). You can read individual reports. You can search for key words like “deaths”. This resulted in 951 pages listing 12 results per page. According to doctors who have completed these reports, the process can take up to 30 minutes and there are warnings on every page for penalties of reporting false information. So these are not frivolous reports.

Choose carefully whom you will believe.

Joshua told the vast nation of ancient Israel to choose carefully whom they would serve, “as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”

But be very careful to keep the commandment and the law that Moses the servant of the Lord gave you: to love the Lord you God, to walk in obedience to Him, to keep His commands, to hold fast to Him, and to serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul.” Joshua 22:5

If you violate the covenant of the Lord your God, which He commanded you, and go and serve other gods and bow down to them, the Lord’s anger will burn against you, and you will quickly perish from the good land He has given you.” Joshua 23:16

But if serving the Lord seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.” Joshua 24:15

Any procedure that knowingly results in the untimely death of a healthy person must be questioned. Any industry that relies on the harvesting of unborn babies for their organs and tissues is an abhorrence to our Creator.

Many Christians have been sucked into following after the ‘health’ and ‘safety’ claims. We are bombarded with propaganda promoting an experimental liability-free medical procedure that has caused more deaths than any other pharmaceutical product in history. God’s grace provides forgiveness when we repent, and turn from our ways.

Catie was just a mom who wanted to do the very best for her baby. She followed the prevailing medical views without questioning. She experienced the shock and horror of her precious baby’s death. She is relentlessly pursuing justice and education for parents who are as ignorant as she was. She has become an expert at underlying the physiologic mechanisms that caused her baby’s tragic death. Her voice is a beacon of light for those who would pay attention. God uses the pain of others to help us learn. Some will still insist on learning the hard way.

The important point to note is that people like Catie are not “anti vax”. They voluntarily received the injections that the medical people in their life promoted to them as “safe, effective, essential…”

If you are still unsure of the reality of vaccine injury, you can see thousands of real life people telling their stories on TikTok and Instagram. Use #vaccineinjury #vaxinjured or similar variations. The warning of deception is repeated in many places. Here is a passage from Ephesians 4:

So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, 12 to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up 13 until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.

14 Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of people in their deceitful scheming. 15 Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ. 16 From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work.

17 So I tell you this, and insist on it in the Lord, that you must no longer live as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their thinking18 They are darkened in their understanding and separated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them due to the hardening of their hearts. 19 Having lost all sensitivity, they have given themselves over to sensuality so as to indulge in every kind of impurity, and they are full of greed.

Living in God’s freedom, we can trust that God designed our immune system to be able to respond appropriately to all potential contagious illness. The non-specific antibodies He designed as part of a fine tuned network are BRILLIANT! One of the biggest problems with vaccines is that they are designed to alter and modify the immune response put into place by God. Scientists can differentiate a profound difference between ‘vaccine immunity’ and naturally acquired innate immunity. As for me, I prefer to trust in God’s design. Death is an inevitability. We will all die. We must use the life God has given us to serve Him wholeheartedly. Fear of death is not a reason to accept an untested, known to be harmful, treatment. Who will we worship?

Blueberry Banana Bread

  • 5 smashed ripe bananas 
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 stick butter melted* (see note below)
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 cup oats
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • Splash of vanilla
  • 1+ 1/2 cups blueberries 

Beat the wet ingredients. Add the dry ingredients and stir gently but thoroughly. Add the blueberries last and mix in gently. Pour batter into loaf pan. Bake at 375 for 20 minutes; turn oven down and bake another 20 minutes. Then test the internal temperature. Leave to cook until thermometer reads 200 in the center. Allow the loaf to cool as long as you can in the pan. Usually with the delicious aroma of fresh banana bread there is a lot of demand to cut it while it’s still hot. But it is easier to get nice slices if you have some time to wait! 

I picked fresh blueberries from a local Upstate South Carolina PYO. My nearly 5 yo granddaughter said they were a bit sour, but she managed to eat them along with her waffle and syrup. The berries are small and might be considered a bit tart. I just decided on a whim to add them to a loaf of banana bread we were making together. Since she didn’t enjoy them fresh, maybe they’d be better baked. My son and DIL, hubby, and the 4 grandchildren devoured it! The combination of flavors was delectable. My DIL said plain banana bread is now ruined for her forever. 

*Since I stopped using a microwave years ago, I sometimes melt butter in a saucepan. This time I just stuck the whole stick of butter into the loaf pan and put it in the oven as it was heating up. Once it was melted, I poured it into the batter. I found that very convenient as it coats the loaf pan and reduces clean up!

Sorry. No pictures. Eaten far too fast for pictures.

Infection Protection

Have you already had a covid infection? Did you know that covid infection provides protection? Great news! The following sources all confirm that a person who has had an infection has lasting robust immunity.

“Good news: Mild COVID-19 induces lasting antibody protection: People who have had mild illness develop antibody-producing cells that can last lifetime.” Washington School of Medicine in St Louis from May 24, 2021.

The findings, published May 24 in the journal Nature, suggest that mild cases of COVID-19 leave those infected with lasting antibody protection and that repeated bouts of illness are likely to be uncommon.

Coronavirus immunity May Last Years, Possibly Even Decades, Study Suggests

Immunity to the novel coronavirus may last eight months or longer, according to a new study authored by respected scientists at leading labs, which found that individuals who recovered from the coronavirus developed “robust” levels of B cells and T cells (necessary for fighting off the virus) and “these cells may persist in the body for a very, very long time.”

Lasting immunity found after recovery from COVID-19.

At a Glance

*The immune systems of more than 95% of people who recovered from COVID-19 had durable memories of the virus up to eight months after infection.

*The results provide hope that people receiving SARS-CoV-2 vaccines will develop similar lasting immune memories after vaccination.

No point vaccinating those who’ve had COVID-19: Cleveland Clinic study suggests

And just in case you want to take a deep dive into what could be going on, here is an ebook on Covid-19: A Different Perspective by Dr John Reizer. https://johnswordpressblog.files.wordpress.com/2020/04/covid-19-pdf-1.pdf

I’m not saying I agree with everything presented by the author, but only by examining many aspects of an issue and discovering many viewpoints can we form a thoughtful point of view. Being able to hold differing points of view in your mind long enough to consider them is essential in most discussions. Our culture produces short sound bites which intend to spur our allegiance and keep us divided. Considering many sides of an issue brings understanding.


Remember, even if you do get sick, there are many approaches to effectively treat the illness so that it will not be severe. Early consistent treatment of any symptom usually brings swift relief. My personal go-to is vitamin C. Zinc is an essential mineral that many of us may be deficient in and supplementing can be beneficial. Our immune system is awesome. I have several more posts about it here, here, and here. More serious illness may require protocols developed by many doctors working together to successfully treat this infection.

Knowing that infection protects because our immune system is designed to remember previous infections can give us a lot of confidence. Do we really need an experimental liability free injection that is fast becoming the most harmful drug in history? Why are we getting so much pressure to accept this medical procedure? Many well respected scientists are repeatedly assuring us that we do not need to fear this virus.


I’d love to hear from you. What are you learning? We all need hope. Seeking to know what’s going on in the world is never going to be complete without understanding that the world was created by God who loves us and desires our ultimate good. Navigating vast amounts of conflicting information can produce confusion and apathy. No matter what is happening in the world, or the cause, God is still in control. Seeking to hear His voice in the midst of chaos will provide clarity and comfort.

Withstanding Pressure

Perhaps you’ve heard something like this… “If you don’t accept this injection you can’t….”

  • visit your family member,
  • eat in the dining room,
  • participate in this specific life activity,
  • work here – ie keep your job. As in, if you don’t take it, you’re fired.
  • etc. etc. etc.

If you are facing any type of pressure to accept an injection, take some time to read this blog by Christian Elliot. His previous blog on the covid shot went viral. I did a summary of it here. In this new blog he discusses the aspect of facing pressure for refusing to take the shot. He provides links to legal resources which may help you. To read the entire blog (approximately 13 minutes), go here.


How to Overcome the Pressure to Get a Covid Vaccine

Recently a friend of mine who adamantly did NOT want to get a covid vaccine, did so anyway because of pressure from her peers and her employer.

For any of you who feel pressured to get a covid jab and feel like it’s becoming impossible to say no, I’ve got your back.

Before I’m done you will:

  1. Understand why vaccine mandates and coercion are illegal.
  2. Have a practical way to converse about your decision to opt-out.
  3. Feel confident in your decision, and (I hope) feel emboldened to speak up.

Read the rest here..


At the end of his blog Christian links to a couple of great videos including this one which is an interview with three nurses who describe their incredible and horrific experience after receiving the injection pushed on them by their employers..

https://thehighwire.com/videos/they-dont-want-to-see-people-like-us/

Keep well. Keep healthy. Boost your immune system. Injecting chemical cocktails in the hope of protection will never keep you healthy! Choose your food wisely, exercise, get outdoors in the sunshine, find a faith community, seek God – these are the paths to true health. AND, if you do get sick, remember, there are effective treatment options!

Prevent Hospitalization

Dr Peter McCullough has written and spoken clearly (see video interview below) that early treatment for corona infection can completely avoid hospitalization and death. In our age of misinformation, many lack access to this vital life saving information. If you or a loved one would like to avoid illness or treat illness early, this is a critically important resource put together by compassionate courageous physicians with a lot of successful experience.

Here is the scientific paper describing specific effective treatment protocols written by Dr Peter McCullough published online in August 2020.

Dr McCullough has published over 40 peer reviewed scientific papers on covid s19 in the last year.

Peter McCullough explains his perspective in this excellent interview. Here is a segment on YouTube but I will post the full interview which is available on other platforms, below.

Seek truth. Pray. God will lead us to all truth.

Becky Hastings collects information on health and tries her best to discover and share truth. “By God’s grace, through Jesus Christ, I was saved, blessed with a husband of 40 years, and have five precious babies all grown up. I now get to delight as nine grandchildren grow! Together we can help each other discover a healthy path in this crazy upside down world.

Guilt Free Gooey Brownies

Trying to eat healthier, but still have a sweet tooth? This is the answer! There is a lot of flexibility with this recipe, and a lot of deliciousness. Guilt free because there is no flour, no sugar and no butter (although I don’t feel guilty about eating butter!)!

Add to a food processor (best option) or a blender (if you don’t have one). I used a Vitamix because that is what I have.

  • 4 eggs
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 1/4 C cashews or almond butter, or peanut butter
  • 1/3 C cocoa powder
  • 1 banana
  • 4 dates
  • Salt
  • Vanilla
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • Honey – about a tablespoon, or more if you want a sweeter taste
  • Top with walnuts and chocolate chips (or mix in)
  • Optional (not pictured): Add blobs of cream cheese mixed with honey on top (or mix in)

Spread into a glass baking dish approximately 8 x 8. Top with walnuts.

Bake at 350 15-20 minutes. (I recently acquired an internal thermometer and let the temperature reach 175 F). Allow to cool on a rack and then transfer to the refrigerator. Avoid the temptation to eat now, they are really much better after they get cold!

Enjoy!

Possible additions and/or substitutions: cooked sweet potato instead of banana. Add coconut to the topping. Pecans or other nuts instead of walnuts.

Let me know what substitutions you make!
