Grain-Free Banana Cranberry & Lemon Breakfast Cake

 

Hello. My name is Gina, and I am a banana hoarder.

Send help.

You might be wondering, how does one identify themselves as such? Sure you’ve watched those shows where people collect newspapers and trinkets and hundreds of cats, but banana hoarding has yet to be seen as mainstream. I get it. So, let’s just say there comes a point in time when you open up your freezer in order to stash away this week’s leftover banana bounty, only to realize there is legitimately no more room due to your already overwhelming collection of frozen bananas. My husband is confused. We discussed this a little bit the last time I made you banana bread. I’ve since stopped letting my bananas rot in the dark corners of my kitchen counters and have instead moved on to extreme hoarding behaviors. You tell me which one is better. I’m just not completely sure. […]

Joy’s Baked Brown Butter Donuts With Chocolate Glaze {Gluten-Free}

Alright, folks! Birthday week is still in full swing. Here we are on Friday, and we’ve been going strong since Monday. It’s definitely more of a marathon than a sprint, no? 26.2 miles of biscuits, pudding, ice cream and donuts. I’m into it. We can chest bump at the finish line if you want. Or, considering that we just ate 26.2 miles worth of baked goods and pudding we might want to rethink this. Perhaps we shouldn’t bump our bodies together. Perhaps we should just exchange knowing glances, high five and then go pass out in a sugary-carb-coma. That sounds more realistic. Go team! Who wants to make T-shirts? I’ll send out a sign up sheet.  […]

Huevos Rancheros Enchiladas | Guest Post From Beard & Bonnet

Dear Friends, I want to introduce you to my amiga Meg! She writes the always beautiful and “OMG, I’M DROOLING ON MY KEYBOARD AGAIN” blog,  Beard & Bonnet! She is one of the first friends that I made in this crazy blogosphere. She wrote a post which casually mentioned her wearing a pizza costume during lunchtime with her toddler. That sealed the deal for me. I imagine us enjoying these Huevos Rancheros Enchiladas together. I’m dressed as a taco. She’s dressed as pizza. We do a jig. This is where my Monday morning brain is going… Enjoy this awesome looking dish, and please stop by her neck of the woods. Tell her I sent you. Costumes are optional, but never discouraged. xox

Hello So…Let’s Hang Out readers, my name is Meg and I write a little gluten free, vegetarian blog called Beard and Bonnet. I am so honored that Gina asked me to share a recipe on her site today, I can’t promise that my post will be nearly as humorous and entertaining as Gina’s, because let’s face it…she is AMAZING! I can promise it will be tasty though and that’s something, right?! I have been cooking and eating vegetarian dishes for over 7 years, but it wasn’t until our son was born with a gluten intolerance 2 1/2 years ago that we delved into the world of gluten free cooking in our home. My husband, Todd and I are artists and designers by trade and since we share design ideas with clients every day, sharing the food that helped to heal our family was a natural transition for us. We have learned a lot in the last year and a half of gluten free living; we learned that both my son and my husband are gluten-intolerant, that we all feel better when eating whole foods and eliminating processed junk foods, and that the blogosphere is full of really supportive amazing people like Gina who have turned into wonderful friends!

Killer Pumpkin Granola {Gluten-Free & Vegan }

Alright, it’s official. I’ve got a fever and the only prescription is more pumpkin.
I’ve caught a case of the pumpkins. It’s not hard to do. Have you been on pinterest lately? It’s like taking a visual pumpkin bath. I dipped my toe in. It was warm. Now I’ve taken off my pants and  am sitting in a full-on metaphorical bath of pumpkin puree and cinnamon sticks. I’m even thinking about turning on the jets and staying for a while (that visual might have gotten out of hand).  Seriously though, try not to crave something with cinnamon in it after trolling pinterest. Dare you. Also, just so we’re clear (and I don’t get a bunch of weird emails later) I’m only METAPHORICALLY bathing in pumpkin puree. I DO NOT in any way literally suggest you fill up your entire tub with a festive fall squash and then bathe in it. Unless that’s your thing. Who am I to rain on anyone’s pumpkin parade?! We all celebrate seasons differently. Press on, dear friends! But seriously, consider the clean up. That’s one heck of a mess. […]
