So a couple of weekends ago I had a wonderful cookout with my great friends from Cutting Edge Kettlebells and after all the cooking I got inspired for a NOM NOM NOM dessert and here it is. For the coconut ice cream, you can either make it yourself or you can buy it from the store, the only one I have found that is truely Paleo is So Delicious Coconut Ice cream.

When you put the bananas on the grill do they go on skin side up or down? Do you turn them?
I put them skin side up and don’t turn them, just grill the flesh of the banana
