Oh So Yummay!!!


OK..... so if you could only SMELL this loaf of gluten free banana bread you would know RIGHT away why I'm so excited about today's post.  And to TASTE it???  Oh you guys.... you have GOT to taste it!!!

Last night I made gluten free banana bread from a recipe I found in Make It Paleo (one of my favorite cook books) and it turned out better than any banana bread I have ever made OR ever ate!  I made a couple of alterations to the recipe found in Make It Paleo, so I will post my recipe here and you can click on the link above to check out the recipe from the authors' blog.  Click HERE to get your hands on the Make It Paleo Cookbook.... you will love it!!!

Gluten Free Banana Bread

6 Pitted Dates (will need boiling water to soften dates, see recipe below)
1/2 Tbsp Coconut Nectar
6 Omega 3 Eggs
2 Tbsp Coconut Oil (melted)
1 Over-ripe Banana (mashed)
1/2 Tbsp Vanilla Extract
1/2 Cup Sifted Coconut Flour
1/2 tsp. Sea Salt
1/4 tsp Baking Soda
1/2 Cup Crushed Walnuts (optional)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  In a large bowl mash 6 dates with 2 Tbsp. boiling water using a fork.  Add another tablespoon of boiling water and mash again until the mixture resembles a date jam.  Add coconut nectar and mix until smooth.  Add eggs, banana, coconut oil and vanilla extract and whisk until combined.  Add coconut flour, salt and baking soda.  Mix all ingredients together and place a loaf pan that had been lightly greased with coconut oil.  Top batter with walnuts.  Bake for 50 minutes or until edges are brown and a toothpick poked into the center of the loaf comes out clean.  Allow to cool for about 15 minutes.  If you use mini loaf pans, reduce baking time to 30 minutes.

This banana bread turned out DELICIOUS!!!  Have a piece with me?


Breakfast of champions?  It's the breakfast of THIS champion!!!  You would NEVER guess that this bread was sweetened with coconut nectar and dates!  I will ABSOLUTELY be making this wonderful bread again!!!!

Past 7 Days....

BACK To Halloween.... WHEW!

Okay... BACK to Halloween gifting this week!  We're makin more goody boxes using The Cutest Halloween Bundle again this week, we are also featuring the tags and labels dies from the July - December 2021 Mini Catalog (lovingly dubbed "the holiday mini").  I've got to admit, this bundle really is the cutest and I'm having SOOOO much fun playing with it simply because of how easy it is to work with.  The fact that the punch ALSO punches out the images from the DSP makes this one a super-huge winner for me.  I mean.... three goody projects in under an hour!?!  That's right!  This week's Freebie Friday On A Monday was actually recorded in under 40 minutes!  SO DOABLE to get ready for Halloween gifting!  As always, the link to the free PDF with supplies used and measurements is below the last pic and if you place a $35 or more from my online store (click "Shop With Me" in the banner at the top of this blog) using this week's Host/Hostess code  GHRG

 Okay you guys!  This is the last Words Of Cheer project for the week.  This one features the dies from the Bundle ( CLICK HERE TO PURCHASE ) and is CASED directly from the July-December 2021 Mini Catalog page 20: I just reimagined the card pictured in the catalog as a box... but not just ANY box..... A CRACKER BARREL PECAN LOG ROLL BOX!!!! Here is the list of colors/cardstock used (except for the vellum, it is ALL from scraps... YAY): 1 3/4" x 4 5/8" Vellum, Pool Party, Very Vanilla, Soft Suede and Brushed Metallic Cardstock.  I finished this off with a scrap piece of linen thread even!  THIS is why we keep those scraps!  Honestly... nothing went to waste with this one.  Below is the video on how to make the box.  Normally I wouldn't be posting Christmas projects before Halloween, but COME ON.... this one is SOOOO worth the preview.  Besides, now you can get a head start for Christmas gifting.... PECAN LOG ROLLS FOR EVERYONE!!!
