Brunch is one of my favorite things! You eat yummy breakfast food on a Sunday when you finally get your lazy ass up, preferably in good company, with lots of coffee, paper and crossword puzzles optional. So, I've decided to write a review on every place I've been to - also because I get to combine my love of writing and food. Now Toronto-Brunch is GoodFoodToronto as my love of food has been extended to include my eating adventures all day all the time anywhere!

Easy Chocolate Banana Pudding
a great way to use up yucky looking over ripe bananas. you can experiment with cocoa powder and untreated maple syrup or corn syrup in place of the truffle to make it vegan
Ingredients
1 large ripe banana (dark brown skin)
1 large dark chocolate truffle, or 3 pieces of your favorite chocolate
1 tbsp peanut butter or other nut butter
place ingredients in a microwave safe bowl. zap on high for 1 minute. mash up banana and mix into chocolate until all is incorporated and looks like pudding. warning, it's not the prettiest dessert, but tasty and makes for a good dip too.
