Healthy Banana Bread

Who doesn't love Banana Bread. I was having a craving for some Sunday morning and thought it would go wonderful with a cup of coffee. Since I have made some before I thought this time I would try to make a healthier version of it. Well even though I had my doubts on if it would still taste great I was quickly proven wrong when to aroma started to fill my kitchen. Once it came out it was moist and full of flavor! If you have a craving for some now give the recipe below a shot! Happy Thursday!

 

Healthy Banana Bread:

 

Ingredients:

1 cup almond flour

6 eggs

10 ounces of banana

5 ounces of pitted dates

2 tsp. cinnamon

1 tsp. vanilla

1/4 tsp. sea salt

1 tsp. vinegar

1 tsp. baking soda

6 tbsp. coconut flour

 

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Place all ingredients except the coconut flour in a high speed blender and blend on high for a minute.

Add the coconut flour (break up any clumps before hand with a fork) and blend for 30 seconds.

Place batter in a narrow bread pan lined with parchment paper.

Bake for 50-55 minutes or until a knife runs clean.

Enjoy!

Best and worst dressed 2014 Emmys

Last night was the 66th Primetime Emmys on NBC. There were some winners that I agreed with and some people that I believe got snubbed. Along with the actual winners and nominees I also had winners and losers as far as fashion goes. Below are my picks for best and worst dressed of the 66th  Primetime Emmys. I would love to hear if you agree with these picks or if their were some others you would have chosen. See you tomorrow for a glimpse into my weekly work outfits!

Salmon with Lemon Dill Sauce

This dish may look fancy and hard to make but it is actually extremely easy and surprisingly quick. Along with looking impressive it is also healthy. I promise this is a meal even the worst or most inexperienced cook can master! Check it out below. Happy Monday!

 

Salmon with Lemon Dill Sauce:

Ingredients:

Salmon Filets (I used 2 small)

Asparagus (you can use green beans too) 

Cherry Tomatoes

Olive Oil

Salt

McCormick Lemon Butter Dill Seafood Sauce

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Pour a little olive oil in the pan to prevent to salmon from sticking.

Place salmon skin side down in the middle of the pan, lining vegetables on each side.

Drizzle a little olive oil over the vegetables and sprinkle with salt.

Bake for 10 minutes uncovered.

Pull from oven and cover in the lemon dill sauce and continue to bake for another 10 minutes or until the salmon is cooked thoroughly.

Now how easy was that just 20 minutes and one dish for a healthy  fast meal.

Lots of Love,  Natalie
