Are you guys over all things pumpkin now that Thanksgiving is over? I’m not, so bear with me! I never got around to sharing this Healthy Pumpkin Honey Banana Bread I made a while back and my boys loved it so much I figured I should share it! It’s made with all good things–pumpkin and bananas, coconut oil, whole wheat flour! And sweetened with honey! And who doesn’t love warm, sweet bread on a cold wintery morning?
I can’t even believe we are into the holiday season! How do we slow it down? Or at least just slow down ourselves? Be more present?
Working on putting my phone away more. Paying attention to little details of our lives. And truly enjoying this Christmas season. Sit together around the table more. Hot chocolate, pj’s, and stories by the fireplace. Games and giggles. And probably some screaming and tears because #reallife But all with a slice of warm Pumpkin Honey Banana Bread sounds pretty nice!
