healthier-banana-bread

Myrrh essential oil is the newest one to join my collection and I’ve been primarily using it in my DIY facial oil blend (blog to come) or in my no waste homemade toothpaste which is just an eyeballed mixture of baking soda, coconut oil, ceylon cinnamon, food grade bentonite clay, and myrrh EO.  I keep it in an amber glass jar for a week or two.

Our egg fruit aka canistel and yellow sapote are coming in now and I’m very excited to whip it up into pies and ice cream (or smoothies, puddings, creme brûlée, etc) .  You can watch me cut into one and taste it in my Tropical Fruit Farm post.

I’ve been enjoying these healthier banana breads in bed with my husband over tea and coffee the past two Saturdays and it’s been just heavenly.  Despite all the articles that say you shouldn’t eat in bed, it’s one of the few indulgent guilty pleasures I like to savor during the weekends and I highly recommend it!

    still waiting to try the black sapote. it supposed to taste like chocolate pudding. the regular persimmon tastes like fruit pudding.
