This morning our kids woke up to a banana split with hot fudge for breakfast. Needless to say, they are THRILLED we are doing food photography now. It was chocolatey, fruity and very tasty.
You’ll find that most of what we are doing now is healthy so even though these look like 500 calorie treats they are just 195!

This is our first attempt at posting a recipe online and our second attempt at food photography ever so please be gentle! We’re going to be posting recipes and photos at least twice a week. This is a recipe I found on an Indian foods site. After eating it as shot, I’d replace the brown rice with basmati but choose the rice that suits your palette. This is best served warm.
