As long as this exists...

Cashew Banana Ice-Cream

3 cups frozen sliced bananas (4-5 overripe bananas)
1/2 cup cashew butter
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/4 - 1/3 cup pure maple syrup (or agave nectar)

     In a food processor, process the bananas until they are roughly chopped.  Add the cashew butter, the salt, and syrup.  I only add a bit of syrup at a time and taste test until desired.  Puree until very smooth, scraping down the sides as needed. Serve sprinkled with semi-sweet chocolate chips.

As long as this exists...

by Anne Frank

"As long as this exists," I thought, "and I may live to see it, this sunshine, the cloudless skies, while this lasts, I cannot be unhappy."  The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quite alone with the heavens, nature, and God.  Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be and that God wishes to see people happy, amidst the simple beauty of  nature.  As long as this exists, and it certainly always will, I know that then there will always be comfort for every sorrow, whatever the circumstances may be.  And I firmly believe that nature brings solace in all troubles.
