I love the Internet

I really adore this video.


I don't work in a dominantly male driven profession- most therapists are female. However most uber successful therapists/consultants that you see are male. Why are men taken more seriously then women? I just love the balance in this video and the feelings it evokes. 

That's right. Feelings.
Because I'm a woman.

And we need to stop tearing each other down or apart.

Paleo Banana Bread


A couple of months ago, I made a gluten-free banana bread
I'll be honest, it was so tasty, but the texture and rise, eh, It was just alright.

This one though, is awesome
I've made it every sunday the past 3 weeks and it's just delicious.

To be perfectly honest, if you didn't know it was paleo ... you would not know that it's paleo. 
Like, for real. 

I also loooove that the only sweetener is 4 medjool dates and a tablespoon of maple syrup. 


The keys to truly making it awesome
=
mini loaf pans
+
greased parchment
+
cooling / resting on a wire rack

I know these may be things that you are probably thinking, "Oh, I can skip that, no biggie"
You're wrong, my friend. You need to do them. 

The parchment allows excess moisture to escape from the bread, and allows you to easily get the loaves out of the pan so you can place them to rest on a wire rack (where yet more moisture can escape).  The smalls loaf pans also allow the bread to rise more and gives a great texture.
