This morning my son looked across the counter and saw our overripe bananas which prompted, “Mom I REALLY have a craving for banana bread! Â I LOVE your banana bread recipe!!!” Â Do you think he was not so subtly hinting???
I decided to go another route today and try Elana Amsterdam’s (of Elana’s Pantry) Paleo Banana Bread Recipe. Â The only alteration I made to the recipe was to use coconut oil in lieu of vegetable shortening. Â I also tented the bread with foil for the last 15-20 minutes or so since it was already a nice golden brown and I didn’t want it to burn.
My kids went gaga for this and both had three slices after school. Â I had to stop them so that there would be at least a slice each for my husband and I to try.
Click HERE for the recipe and while you are at it surf around Elana’s site…it is chalk-full of wonderful recipes.

On another note…There was definitely lively debate and commenting after my last post. Â I approved ALL of the comments and allowed the conversation to continue right up until today. Â The discussion has been had, viewpoints have been shared, and it is now time for all of us to move on. Â I choose to focus on the positive in life and as of now I will no longer be approving any negative comments…let’s keep it happy. Â
Veggie Grettie is my little corner of the world where I share recipes I have created, those of others I admire, health information, and a smidgen of my personal life from time to time. Â I would like to continue doing so and want to thank those of you who sent your good vibes my way. Â Much love!!!
Peace and health,
Gretchen
