Welcome back to my food blog, friends! I’m so excited to be sharing a recipe for the first time since spring.

by Leave a Comment

One bowl dairy and gluten-free banana nut muffins that are made without oil or refined sugar--but don't taste healthy in the slightest! Yum!Since I became interested in healthy living a few years ago, Eric has had to be on his guard against my baking experiments.

Why, you ask? Well, that would be because my husband has a serious sweet tooth, while his wife happily eats 90% dark chocolate, takes her coffee black, and–worst of all–makes all sorts of good-looking, good-smelling baked goods that don’t actually have mounds of sugar in them. The treachery!… Read More »
