Sharing a delicious and healthy recipe for Paleo banana bread! This post is updated with new pics and a refresh.

Hi friends! How are you? I hope you had an amazing weekend! We were in Phoenix for a dance competition. P has had basketball games, so the past couple of competitions have just been Liv and myself. It’s been a treat to spend some time together and in the hotel each night, we had takeout picnic and watched multiple episodes of Friends. It was lovely!

It’s back to the swing around here this week, and I wanted to share a delicious and healthy recipe with ya. This is one of my staples and I love it when we have bananas that are on their last leg. I think a lot of us went through a banana bread heyday in 2020, and I kind of overdid it. Now that I’ve stopped making it so frequently, it’s *special* again, and a lovely little treat.

When I originally made this, I typed out the recipe on my phone —  it was very on the fly. I thought it would be good but maybe not quite blogworthy. Totally surprised myself with this one, as gluten-free baking can be tough. It’s been a staple all this time!

This grain-free banana bread is extremely moist, decadent and made the

Sharing a roundup of my favorite healthy Costco foods!

Hiiiii! How are you? I hope you’re having a wonderful day! I have an exciting Zoom call this am, and then we’re taking Liv for her first contact lenses lesson. She’s been wanting them for a quite a while, so I hope she loves them.

Friday Faves 4.26

Home:

I’m seriously loving our new Air Doctor situation. The air in our house feels fresh and clean, and it’s wild to see what the filter is picking up. I wish we would have gotten them sooner!

A new air fryer. You guys know I’ve been on the hunt for a nontoxic air fryer, and I found a glass one with decent reviews. (I debated a stainless steel one, but some of the reviews said they still had internal plastic parts and a chemical smell.) It’s SO pretty and I’ll definitely report back.

Read, watch, listen:

Really enjoyed this podcast episode with Dr. Hyman. It seems like Dr. Cabral aligns with a lot of his messaging.

Check out the latest podcast episode here.

Embracing aging.

If you’re looking for a fun spring read, I definitely recommend this one. I have about 20 pages left and don’t want it to end!

Health, fitness, and good eats:

I have something exciting coming up next month if you’re looking to take your health and fitness to the next level this summer. Stay tuned for more info!!

Neighborhood block party! We have amazing neighbors, and this past weekend, we all enjoyed wine and delicious food together.
