Hello lovelies! It's time for Tastes & Travels! Lyndsay, Michelle, and I have been road trippin' around the U.S.A! So far, we've visited two of the world's most popular cities, New York City and Boston (if you missed it, click here) and two of the South's most beautiful beaches, Miami and Key West (if you missed it, click here.)
1 stick butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
4 bananas peeled and halved, cut lengthwise
1/4 cup dark rum
1/2 cup brown sugar
4 bananas peeled and halved, cut lengthwise
1/4 cup dark rum
Melt butter in a large skillet. Add brown sugar and stir together. Add the bananas and cook until caramelized over medium-high heat. Pour in the rum and catch a flame off of the gas stove or a BBQ lighter. Stand back when ignited and flambe. Be careful; a flame will shoot up above the pan. Let flame die down. Serve over vanilla ice cream and/or a slice of pound cake.
LAISSEZ LES BONS TEMPS ROULER!
Next week, it's your turn to link-up! We'd love for you to join us share places you've visited, recipes, or your favorite things about the good ole U.S.A!
Love and Tasty Travels! xo

I've always wanted to go down for Mardi Gras, that'd be a blast! And that banana foster looks soo yummy!
YAY! I'll be there in October and I love Muffalettas! THEY ARE SO GOOD. I also love olives. I have not been for Mardi Gras and I would never go there for that. I can't even imagine. NOLA is crazy enough just on a regular night, I cannot imagine being around that many drunk idiots and the public urination and vomit and fighting. Oh, it would just be out of control!! But a regular weekend, yes ... I can do that!
Ive never been but it looks so fun!
I want to go to New Orleans! It would be amazing to go during Mardi Gras!
i've been to NOLA twice and loved every minute of it. the charbroiled oysters at drago's are to. die. for.
and i'll take a nice cold grenade from bourbon st and sing some karaoke at the cat's meow any day!
Great post!
I love NOLA and Mardi Gras there is THE craziest thing I have ever seen! I loved it both times I went.
i LOVE NOLA! its such a fun and lively city, full of great architecture and food. xoxo jillian:: cornflake dreams
I have to hit up Cafe Du Monde in NOLA for beignets!
I've never been there, but it looks like a great city to visit. :) The bananas foster looks sooo good!
I agree with Heather about Cafe du Monde. Beignets are the shiz!!! And their coffee and chicory.
was there when the saints won the superbowl! who dat!
I was in NOLA for Mardi Gras this year, and it was absolutely crazy! I loved all the food and the sights. ACME Oyster House and Cafe Du Monde were my favs! You absolutely HAVE to be a cheesey tourist and go on the French Quarter carriage rides. I will definitely go back, but not during Mardi Gras again lol....check out my trip at http://richmrich.blogspot.com/2011/03/parades-po-boys-and-powdered-sugar.html
I've never been to Mardi Gras but its on my bucket list. Thanks for sharing.
