Bananas Foster

My husband loves bananas, I on the other hand, am not a fan. I hate the smell, I hate the texture, I just can't eat them. The only bananas I will eat are the fried ones at Texas de Brazil, ones that are super sweet and covered in powdered sugar, and only when I am eating massive amounts of delicious beef. Anyway, I digress. So, the other night Tony asked me if I would make him bananas foster, which happens to be one of his favorite desserts. So after some googling of recipes I was ready to go. It was actually really easy and even this banana hater had to admit, it tasted pretty darn good!
