Gluten Free Banana Bread



I found a few recipes for banana bread and ended up merging them together.  This was created for my boys, 2 of whom found out they have multiple food allergies.  I'm so thankful to be able to make them foods they love while still avoiding their food allergies.  And who doesn't love banana bread?

Gluten Free Banana Bread
210 grams Krusteaz Gluten All Purpose Baking Flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 duck egg (or two chicken eggs)
1/2 cup maple syrup
1/2 cup canola oil
1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 very ripe bananas
1/2 cup miniature chocolate chips, raisins (optional)

Directions:
1. Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees and grease a loaf pan.
2. Place the peeled bananas in a mixer and mix until well mashed.
3. . Add in the canola oil, maple syrup, vanilla extract, duck egg, cinnamon, salt and baking soda.  Mix until well combined.
4. Slowly add in the baking mix and beat just till combined on low/medium.
5. If adding in raisins or chocolate chips, mix in with a spoon just until combined.
6. Pour into greased loaf pan and bake for 45-60 minutes or until the top of hte bread bounces back when touched and the edges are just pulling away from the pan.
7. Cool on the stovetop for 15 minutes.
8. Lastly transfer to a cooling rack, run a knife along the edges of the inside of the pan to loosen the bread and turn bread upside down to remove from pan.  You can now place right side up on the cooling rack by hand.
Enjoy!

My Adult Tonsillectomy Story

Post Surgery as soon as I arrived home. For anyone who really knows me, I have always been completely terrified of surgery.  So when I went to an ENT and he said I needed a tonsillectomy I was not very happy.  I found out in either January or February and I couldn't make my appointment till the end of June because that's when my husband could get off work to help out.  I wrote this so I could hopefully help someone going through the same thing.  Without further ado, here goes. Week Before Surgery: This is when I started purchasing everything I had seen online that might be helpful.  I also started setting up an area on the main floor where I could be inclined for sleeping and have everything at my finger tips.  At the bottom of this post I will have a list of items that I personally found helpful for my recovery.  I also have food allergies and tried to stay away from them as much as possible.  So my food options may seem different than ma...

I often see facebook posts of people looking for good, wholesome movies to watch with their spouse or their family.  Because of that,  I thought I'd make a list of netflix movies that our family has enjoyed, found educational, etc...  If you have some you think I should add to this list, leave me a comment.  I'll be updating periodically. Here goes!! Family Movies: The Hiding Place *The Last Sin Eater The Ultimate Gift *The Secrets of Jonathan Sperry Flywheel *Saving Sarah Cain Letters to God - this is a tear gripper!

Summer Herbal Tea

I made this up a couple years ago and it has def. been a summer favorite for me as well as for my kids.  If you can't drink black tea because of the caffeine (or other reasons), give this a try. Ingredients: 3 parts red raspberry leaf tea (not raspberry flavored) 1 part peppermint tea water Directions: 1. Steep tea as your normally would.  For me I use enough boiled water for a 2 quart pitcher.  I usually add in 6 Red Raspberry tea bags and 2 Peppermint Tea Bags.  If I have bulk, each tea bag itself usually contains about 1 teaspoon of loose tea.  I steep for 10 - 15 minutes, then take the tea bags out. 2. Add sweetener to taste - honey, stevia, etc... 3. Chill. It's that simple. What you're left with is a refreshing glass of tea for those hot summer days.  Below are some benefits of each of these teas.  Use caution when drinking peppermint tea while pregnant.  Spearmint is generally a better option.
