Recipe: Broccoli Cheddar Bacon Salad
Broccoli cheddar bacon salad – it’s so good and hearty because of the broccoli. Oh, and gluten free of course. Bryce and I celebrated our 5 year wedding anniversary this past Saturday.

As such, we totally missed each other and spent our 5 year apart. When we looked at the calendar in May, trying to…

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.…
