Recipe: Gluten Free Banana Bread
Gluten free banana bread with just shy of rotten bananas – it’s the best kind of banana bread. The bananas for this recipe are black. I’m talking, rotting, soggy and mushy black. Don’t use the bananas that are black flecked and staring to turn; no, use the ones that were rotten yesterday. This banana bread is moist and full of flavour, but my favourite, it’s gluten free! The brown sugar ads some deep sweetness and the nuts are great for texture. Okay, let’s get started.…

Usually it happens when I’ve been sewing for a bit, working on a larger project – like Celebrating the Baby Boy – Auntie Style – but this was a…

Travel: Adamaz House Bangkok
Adamaz House Bangkok Adamaz House in Bangkok is a sweet little boutique hotel that’s down a dingy alley. I’ve said this before in my post about three days in Bangkok, yet I’ll say it again – so happy I book accommodations in advance. I trust reviews and I trust other bloggers. The process of finding a hotel before you travel is easy – know where you want to stay (usually close to sights and the common back-packer area), read reviews, pick your top three and…

Sewing: Week Twenty Nine Piping and Zipper Outdoor Pillow
Piping and zipper outdoor pillow – the perfect way to dress up your deck. I wanted piping on these pillows, but I also wanted a zipper. Now, the tricky part was to try and figure out how to make it work. Let’s just say I broke a needle or two since at some points I stitched through 9 layers of fabric. That’s a lot for a little needle. This tutorial makes use of two other tutorials I’ve done – one a few years ago and…

Photos: Thunder Snoring House
Thunder and snoring house – yes, my house is filled with so many sounds that it’s flat out beautiful. This morning the house is full of snoring. Bryce is on nights and Lily, well, she’s a Great Dane and she’ll snore anytime if you let her. The thunder, that comes from all of the rain and storms we’ve had over the last month or two. Oh, and there’s a precious story to go along with it. Thunder We were living in Dallas, Texas and Lily…
