If you want to make 1 1/2 loaves of banana bread (one large, one small) here’s the recipe. Alternatively, you could make one loaf and some muffins. Not sure how the cooking time would vary for those but I’m just throwing it out there because I made this recipe and it had too much for one loaf but was still perfect and definitely worth sharing. Rather than applesauce as a sweetener, I used molasses. It’s subtly sweet but the body treats it way different than sugar. Almost everything I bake I make suitable for pacman and while… Read more >

Here are some updates on how it’s going feeding a toddler with allergies (since I know several mamas like these posts) and he seems to be thriving. I snuck beans into my child’s diet and they weren’t even baked or blended into something making them unrecognizable. Nope. I simply changed the texture by roasting them and voila! The kid eats beans. For now. 😛 (there are a few ways to roast them but I did 450 degrees F x 25 minutes just tossed in a little olive oil) Like I mentioned in a previous… Read more >

I know (I think?) what you’re thinking. Yellow cake? What’s the point? Chocolate is where it’s AT! I agree with you, but every once in a while you need some quality yellow cake in your life. Like on the 4th of July. Because it just feels right. Is #merica just so 2013? Since I wanted P to be able to eat some, I made it allergen friendly. As in, no wheat, gluten, dairy, nuts, or soy. The batter does contain eggs and I’m not sure if it would turn out without them but if anyone wants… Read more >

I realize it’s pretty late to be recapping last weekend but I’m going to do it anyway because (a) these are my favorite posts to read and write and (b) my sister loves feeling in the loop with the family goings-on. So. This past weekend we went to visit my parents to celebrate my mom’s birthday. I thought we were going to have to cancel because P got a GI bug last week that was annihilating him but he turned a corner on Saturday. Thank goodness. Poor baby was trying his best to be happy… Read more >

Last week I took photos of my whole day of eats – something I rarely do anymore – and then I just forgot about it. But they were good meals worth sharing so I’m posting them now because it’s food related and this is a food blog! It’s pretty atypical for me to have oats in the mornings nowadays, so this creation is more of an anomaly than the norm. I was in the mood for peanut butter but I used sunbutter instead because I’m still nervous about eating nuts when I’m around P. Even… Read more >
