Well, on Monday I talked about the banana challenge starting with the idea of a banana omelette. This is what happened: I initially tried whisking mashed banana in with the eggs, but you know what? It just tasted like banana pancakes. Which was good too, just not what I was going for. I tried a couple other strategies and found something that works. But while experimenting I came up with this bacon banana scrambled eggs recipe.
Win.
I'm serious.
I have made this a bunch of times since, and it has been approved by more than one friend. Whoop whoop!
By the way, did you know there is a The Hangover Part III movie? It was on a movie channel the other day. I liked it. As uncomfortable and awkward as Alan is, I get a kick out of those movies. If you watch it, make sure that you watch the clip after the credits.
Don't worry, I haven't given up on the banana omelette yet! And I still want to hear about your banana challenge successes and failures in the comments below: any weird food combinations that you've made with bananas. Or anything else that sounds like an unlikely combination that you've tried.

Back atcha! I wanna see photos. Can you post them on our Facebook or Instagram when you do them?
Raj, you certainly have taken a lot of risk. Banana and egg? what a fusion that is. Can’t wait to try it and make it for my family.

Well, I’m not paleo but I liked the sound of this recipe (did it after a Google search for banana omelette and seeing your recipe for That!) so made an omelette version…. As we say here in Manchester, it was BANGIN’!
So nice I’m gonna make another for tea I Reckon!!!

Well, you definitely don’t need to be paleo to enjoy delicious food, my friend. Thanks for commenting Terry. Glad you liked this and I hope it makes it into your breakfast rotation. But I gotta ask, ’cause I don’t think a lot of people are searching for banana omelettes… Why were you searching for a banana omelette? There’s no way that there isn’t a back-story…
