It may sound too good (and too easy) to be true, but you can make low-calorie, homemade ice cream with one simple ingredient: frozen bananas! Still unsure of how it works? Follow these simple steps to learn how to make this simple and healthy dessert after tonight’s dinner.

1. Start with overripe bananas. While you can use yellow bananas, they won’t have the same sweet flavor and soft texture.
2. Peel the bananas and cut them into slices. It doesn’t particularly matter if they’re all uniform.
3. Place the banana slices into an air-tight container and freeze them in the freezer, preferably overnight or all day while you’re at work.
4. Blend the now-frozen banana slices in a food processor. If you don’t have one, a traditional blender would also work, thought it may be a bit more difficult to remove the ice cream once it’s done.
5. Blend until a soft-serve ice cream consistency is achieved. It may look a bit like frozen banana oatmeal at first, but after blending for five minutes or so, you’ll start to see the ice cream take shape.
6. Eat your healthy homemade ice cream! Like any good ice cream, you can also top it with your favorite sauce, sprinkles, or even fresh fruit and nuts.

If you feel like your apartment's decor is looking a little tired, don't fret. You don't have to save up for months to complete a total overhaul of the place; instead, you can make a few quick tweaks designed to have the ultimate impact. Here are five ideas to get you started.

1. Reupholster a dying chair. If you consider yourself a solid DIYer, then reupholstering a chair should be no large feat for you. Perhaps you already have a comfy chair at home that you can reupholster, or maybe you'll have the added perk of being able to find one at your favorite thrift store. Either way, head to the craft store to choose a fabric you like, then use an online tutorial to help you make over your chair.
2. Paint your throw pillows. There are countless ways to spruce up throw pillows, from slapping on a new case to painting them with colorful stripes. Use the method that suits your style (and time constraints).
3. Make over your headboard. If it's your bedroom that needs the facelift, start with its focal point: the bed. You can recreate your headboard easily and cheaply, in various ways. For instance, hang a curtain panel across a metal bar for a contemporary twist on the typical headboard.
4. Mix and match different rooms' accents. Maybe you already have all the components you need to update your apartment within its four walls. If you have certain decorations that distinguish a room, try swapping them between other spaces in your home to create a new aesthetic. For example, you could move the end table from your living room into the guest room, and repurpose the bedside table as a new end table instead.

Since opening its doors in 2010, Kabob Korner has served an eclectic combination of South Asian and Mediterranean cuisines, with special emphasis on smoky, delicious, grilled and barbecued foods.

Order a whole chicken, marinated with yogurt, herbs, and lemon juice and grilled in the traditional tandoori style, or try the dry-rubbed and skewered beef seekh kabob. And don't forget the thin-shaved lamb gyros, which come from lamb roasts that are slow-grilled on a spit for hours. Whatever you order, don't forget to round out your meal with an array of mouth-watering side dishes. Try dipping garlicky naan into a plate of creamy, house-made hummus, or bite into a crispy vegetable samosa filled with spiced potatoes and served with tangy-sweet tamarind sauce.

Eating in the bright and casual Kabob Korner dining room is pleasant, but if you want to eat at home or at the office instead, the restaurant's online ordering system makes it simple and efficient to place a take-out order.
