B-A-N-A-N-A-S!! The recipe for Bananas Foster is inspired by the famous Brennan's in New Orleans http://www.brennansneworleans.com/r_bananasfoster.html.

BANANAS FOSTER
Ingredients:
-2 bananas, cut lengthwise
-1/4 stick butter
-1/2 c brown sugar
-the teeniest sprinkle of cinnamon (we all know how I feel about cinnamon- dislike!)
-1/4 c banana liqueur
-1/4 c rum
-vanilla ice cream

Instructions:
1) combine butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a skillet and cook over low heat until the sugar is dissolved
2) stir in the banana liqueur and put the bananas in the pan
3) slowly add the rum when the bananas start to soften

4) cook the sauce until the rum is hot and then..... LIGHT IT ON FIRE! (So fun, oh my goodness, so fun!)

NOTE: this picture is blurry because I was literally jumping away from the flame while taking the picture!

5) divide the bananas and serve over vanilla ice cream!
