Do you have 3 rotten bananas at home?

Those rotten bananas can easily be made into yummy gluten free and dairy free banana muffins. I made these last night to go with our dinner and I got requests for seconds and thirds, a rounding success! Here’s the recipe for the blueberry version of this recipe.

Read on . . .

Ingredients:

2 1/2 cups almond flour (I have the one I use on my Amazon page)

1/2 cup sugar

1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder (I use aluminum-free)

1/4 tsp salt

1/3 cup avocado oil or coconut oil

1/3 cup unsweetened almond milk

3 eggs

3 ripe bananas, smash and mix them in.

A dash of cinnamon (optional, but I love the added flavor)

Mini Chocolate Chips (optional but wow this adds tons of flavor)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350. Mix all ingredients, bake for 20-25 min. They’re ready when the toothpick comes out clean and the top is golden brown. Enjoy!

My Espresso Machine

by Shalice Noel
written by Shalice Noel

I literally sit in my bed in the morning dreaming about my cappuccino that I cannot wait to enjoy. Thanks to my Nespresso Creatista machine. It’s durable, makes super hot coffee and espressos, and heats up the milk like a dream. It has an adjustable espresso option, milk temp and froth level. Love the options to have either a cappuccino or flat white. We are careful to keep the milk warmer clean to ensure the best lattes. I use almond milk and Reid uses regular milk and both works well. If $599 is out of the budget, I also show below the smaller options which we also have for our guest room. At $149, it is no frills and a great dependable cup of joe (or espresso).

Under $200 options

Which is your favorite? Do you own an Nespresso machine?

4 Black Owned Businesses to support now

My dress // Atalie’s dress // Heels

Today, I’m featuring some great black owned businesses on the blog. I recently found this Little Black Dress LBD from Cushnie at Target. Under $30 (on sale), and super flattering. It has a ruffle shoulder, uneven hem, and gathered waist. I recruited Atalie to match in Cushnie. What do you think? I also had plans to shoot these dresses on the camera but it stopped working after it fell from the tripod, real life! I resonate with people like Carly Cushnie, founder of Cushnie. who believes that timeless silhouettes can make you feel confident. That confidence is needed to stand up to what each day holds. I tell my girls, ‘they are strong, they are God’s workmanship, and they can do all things though Christ who gives them strength, ” that is my encouragement to you reader. (Phil 4:13) Please see below for some black owned businesses to support.

Cushnie for Target – owned by Carly Cushnie who believes that with her timeless silhouettes, the modern woman can feel sexy, sophisticated and powerful all at once.

Briogeo I first noticed Briogeo on Something Navy. I love her hair and you already know I like clean beauty. Clean hair care for all hair types. They have clean scalp therapy for itchy scalps.

5 Straw Hats for summer

by Shalice Noel
written by Shalice Noel

I got asked recently, what are my top straw hats for summer. They are in fact the best and easiest ways to keep the sun rays at bay while still looking chic. Even as a busy mom juggling a toddler, SPF spray, snacks, and trying to keep the wrinkles at bay, you can still look like the cat’s meow. If the juggle is real, shop all 5 straw hats below. Here I’m wearing one from Lack of Color that is on repeat. The shape and color is really flattering and I’ve tried about 20! I also own this fedora I picked up for $26 on Amazon. Let me know what you think in the comments below.

Designer sunglasses on sale, Givenchy, Chloe and more!

With some gyms closed and added rules, we have been working out in our garage. Who else is rocking out in their garage gym? I’m loving the convenience of working out downstairs. I don’t have any excuse not to workout now which is a little sad.
