I've had a major sweet tooth lately and wanted to create something to snack on but feel a bit less guilty about. Banana bread has always been a favorite of mine, so I figured it was time to come up with a version free of gluten, dairy and refined sugar. After a glance through my pantry and a few tests, I settled on this recipe -- and now I've eaten my way through two batches in less than two weeks. Now I'm not quite sure if this recipe is working with or against me!

We often think of citrus and associate it with summertime, but citrus is actually at the peak of its season in North America during the winter. This is when the fruit ripens to its sweetest and juiciest -- so run to your local market and stock up!  Over the summer, I picked up some local honey at the farmers' market and was immediately craving a yogurt parfait -- but we had just run out of granola. Rather than race to the store, I did a quick survey of the pantry and discovered I could make a simple version from scratch with just 7 ingredients.  I love oatmeal. It's hearty, wholesome, and the perfect blank slate for any combination of flavors or mix-ins. And while it's one of the easiest things to make, sometimes I simply don't feel like pulling out all of the fruit, nuts, spices, etc. ... that's where baked oatmeal comes in.  Split pea soup is one of those dishes you either love or hate. The split peas themselves do lend a rather distinct flavor, but for me, it's one of the most comforting, heart-warming soups during the autumn and winter months here in the Midwest.  |
