Paleo Banana Bread

Throughout the year my mom use to always make banana but bread for our family. Not to mention my mom hates bananas, however somehow she managed to make "THE BEST" banana bread!!! Since the better homes recipe is not as healthy as I would like it to be, I decided to make a healthier version for my babies.

The kids absolutely love it! They think it's cake! I cannot complain if they want to eat it either because it's healthy and sugar free!!!

If my picky son will eat it, it's definitely a winner!!!

Ingredients:
4-5 bananas, ripe and mashed
1 cup coconut flour 
6 eggs 
6 tablespoons coconut oil or coconut butter, melted
1/3 cup Greek yogurt (I used fagé)
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
dash of sea salt

Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees ºF. Grease a 1 pound loaf pan.

Combine all ingredients for bread and blend until thoroughly mixed. Continue blending on medium speed for 1 minute to allow coconut flour to soak up the liquids.

Pour batter into the greased loaf pan and bake for 45-50 minutes or until a tester comes out clean. Allow bread to set and cool slightly before removing from pan. Slice and enjoy topped with a dollop of sweet & creamy maple nut butter!

Spaghetti Squash with Southwest Chicken

Image
After years of cooking and sharing recipes, I have finally put together my blog site. Its been a long journey in cooking for friends and family. It wasn't until recently that I was given the confidence to actually create a blog and share everything I have learned and am still learning in the kitchen. I recently was given the opportunity to air on live tv with Good Day Sacramento.  It was quite the experience. Friends and family told me I was a natural on tv, but what they didn't see on tv was how extremely nervous me. My mom and my husband were there calming me down.  After each take, I would let out a big "Whew" and ask how I did.  Apparently my nervousness did not show when the camera was rolling. Thank Goodness! I would like to share the recipe of my dish on Good Day Sacramento with all of you. Spaghetti Squash is that ingredient that we all seem to forget about. It's amazing and very good for you to eat. I think when people look at a spaghetti squash,

Our Sourdough Adventure - The Skinny on a Starter.

Image
 To say I love bread would be an understatement. This year we decided on more than one occasion to take up the joy of undertaking the art of sourdough. Earlier in the year, my little starter went rancid because I forgot to feed my baby, but this time around, I am committed and I plan on keeping my starter for years.  This time around with my, or should I say our Sourdough Starter, because I wanted to teach my kids some life skills and what better way to teach them these amazing life skills, then with the art of making this amazing sourdough starter. It's fun too!!!! Nicholas was totally into it! He wanted to be the "SOURDOUGH MASTER" as he called it.  So, I let him join me in the kitchen for this fun little adventure. And it's been quite the adventure of feeding our little Sourdough Baby/babies... I'll get into the babies later... Just don't do what I did and go overboard. I had I think about 6 starters at once going. I didn't think it through. LOL I have

Thanksgiving Leftovers Breakfast

Are you ever stumped on what to do with all the leftovers in your fridge? Do you ever look at those leftovers on Day 2 and think, if I have to eat turkey or ham one more time....... Well let me tell you, you can make different things with those amazing leftovers in your fridge!!!  I am all about zero waste in our house, so I really like to get creative if I can and that's just what I did this morning and it's what I'm about to do tonight for dinner... and no one will ever know!!! It's going to make completely different meals using those leftovers you have right there in your fridge.  Some go for Turkey soup, Turkey ala king (which actually use to be my favorite as a kid), turkey pot pie, etc. But why just go for the basics when we can kick it up even further and have some fun with these leftovers... I don't know about you, but most of the time when I throw something into a casserole, we eat it for the first and maybe the second night and then I'll end up throwin
