I had another glamorous lunch of Lean Cuisine and veggies. I know, don’t be a jelly belly we can’t all eat this good.
But this meal came with a show. Vegas wanted to climb on top of our front door.
He doesn’t believe in gravity. I wish I didn’t either.
Mid-afternoon I had a major chocolate chip cookie craving. Major.
I considered going to a bakery. I considered baking a batch myself.

Finally I decided on a Vitatop paired with Chobani’s Honeynana yogurt. Heavenly. Try it. I am really digging that flavor of yogurt.
I picked up Ben from work (we’re a one car family) and we debated where to have dinner. We drove and searched and talked and finally ended up at a nearby sushi place. It was really anti-climactic. Oh well.
I got the Udon that came with tempura. Ben and I share everything except meat stuff I don’t eat.
I do Udon!
And a couple rolls.
Ben was about to ask for the check when I saw a new sign in the back of the restaurant. They have Banana Tempura now! I don’t know what it is but I am loving Naners lately. I had to try it!
It is a banana fried tempura style and served with vanilla ice cream and a caramel drizzle. I felt like I was at the fair again with this random fried food.
I truly believe dessert has to have chocolate to be a real dessert, so this was good but it lacked a certain chocolate-y goodness that I desire

That banana tempura would have been great with a drizzle of warm nutella. *nods*

Kate (What Kate is Cooking) says
I definitely like chocolate desserts too, but that banana tempura looks good! All it needs is some hot fudge 🙂 And I’m also loving Vitatops and yogurt!

Did you get the Costco stash too?! Now that I know they’re easy to find I’m going through them like water.
Amber K says
It only has to be something sweet for me to consider it dessert! It looks fantastic.
Stefanie @TheNewHealthy says
Haha cats do the craziest things–how funny!!
Kate says
Are those Costco frozen veggies I recognize in your photo? 😉
The sushi with avocado looks AMAZING. Mmmm…
Runeatrepeat says
Yes, Costco veggies 🙂
Kathie @ Frugal Fit and Fabulous says
I love all things banana!
Molly @ mollyrunsfresh says
When I’m craving a cookie, I make one if chocolate-covered Katie’s single-lady cookies. They are vegan and only one serving so they do the trick!
Runeatrepeat says
I need to make a single batch of my fave cookie! My smallest batch makes 8 and I eat all of them.

Vegas is so precious.
My favorite thai restaurant in Atlanta has banana tempura paired with coconut ice cream. It’s amazing.
Lauren says
Banana Tempura!!!! Oh my goodness, that is incredible!
Debbie says
How in the world did spider cat get up there? And please don’t show my cat because he would be in heaven. He adores the top of the fridge.
Alicia says
Ahh!! So exciting!! Thank you! 🙂
CathyK says
i am totally with you on a dessert needing chocolate to be considered a REAL dessert. fruity desserts just don’t interest me, at all.
i’m making choco chip cookies tonight for a super bowl party tomorrow!
have a great saturday!
that would freak me out to see a cat over the doorway like that! very funny!
Runeatrepeat says
I almost bought chocolate chips at Target yesterday for the same reason, but I knew I would eat the bag before I actually made any cookies…
Katie says
Your cat is so cute!! Not scared either I see, very brave, but they say cats always land on their feet I guess ; )
At PF Changs they have an amazing banana tempura dessert there too! THe one there looks yummy as well!! Mike and I had a sushi roll that was amazing once called the donkey kong roll and it had banana tempura in the middle, it was to die for! It had crushed peanuts on top and this amazing sweet sauce, I forget what fish was used in it, it was just amazing!
Runeatrepeat says
Oh my gosh! That sounds amazing!
