If a recipe or menu says ‘banana,’ I’m there. But the banana peel?
I’ve always treated like compost.
Well, it turns out the peel contains more potassium and soluble fiber than the fruit. Plus, it can put you in a better mood because it reacts with the serotonin in your brain.
But if you just can’t get past the flavor of the peel, rub it on your skin. The peel is a near-miracle drug; it can reduce skin inflammation, stop itching, remove warts, smooth out wrinkles, and even get rid of acne!
Who’s the monkey now? Me for not knowing this years ago!

Roll with it
Weekends are made for cinnamon rolls.
My sister and I used to make them all the time when we still lived at home.
(No edges.)
I haven’t had cinnamon rolls in a long time. But this photo from the Pioneer Woman’s recipe on FoodNetwork.com reminded me of those yummy breakfasts on lazy weekend mornings.
But her rolls’ estimated total prep time? 2 hours 40 minutes!!
Pioneer Woman — we have ovens and modern conveniences now. You might wanna take advantage.
