Banana Muffins

Banana Muffins

I tried these banana muffins as a first attempt to make grain free muffins.  Not only were they the most moist muffins I’ve made to date, they were sweet, even though they have no added sugar.  Those overripe bananas made them perfectly sweet! And the […]

Zoodle With Broccoli and Parmesan

Zoodle With Broccoli and Parmesan is a variation of the first recipe I tried using a spiralizer.  This variation was a huge hit with my fifteen year old son! We use half zucchini noodles and half squash noodles, but there is no reason why you […]
