My kids are always hungry and looking for something to snack on. They also happen to be peanut butter fiends. So, I threw these together the other day in the hopes they would get eaten. Now, I'm having to make another (double) batch. These should be stored in the fridge. You can also roll them in cacao powder if you like.

Banana Cake (GAPS, SCD, grain free, dairy free, refined sugar free)

As an aside, quinoa is ...

Pumpkin pie is, in my humble opinion, a perfect ending to a delightful Thanksgiving Day. I'm all about traditions, so early on in our marriage, I set out to find some favorite holiday recipes destined to become traditional fare.
