Hey guys! I know I have been a little MIA lately! I've been really busy with some cool things in the works that I really want to share with you! I just have to put the finishing touches on it first!

In the meantime, I want to share the easiest, fastest recipe ever! Turnip fries!

I know I know. You just said, "uh... what? Why would I make that?" Hear me out guys.

I have had the goal of eating healthier and have been trying to swab out carbs for veggies, etc etc. Well I had heard about turnip fries and decided I wanted to try it out.

Full disclosure, I have never cooked with turnips before. So I was nervous, but it turned out to be so delicious, and they were SO GOOD!

Turnips have more fiber than potatoes, did you know that? Swap your potato fries out for these turnip fries and I promise you, you will not miss the potatoes!

Living in the desert is particularly depressing when September rolls around and the highs are still hitting 110. In other parts of the world temperatures are cooling, leaves are changing colors, and people are pulling out scarves and long sleeved shirts to wear to keep them warm.

At this time of year, I envy those people. That is when I need pumpkin things the most. As you may recall, we now have a several years supply of canned pumpkin. I cannot tell you how happy that makes me. Well, since we also have a little one running around (okay crawling around for now, but it won't be long until those little feet are running) and I buy bananas much more frequently now.

However, I personally have never been a huge banana eater. I usually forget I have them until they are perfect for banana bread. So, since our little BP is the main banana eater in the house, we still end up with plenty of banana bread ready bananas.

Well, presto, my pumpkin needs combined with our leftover banana to make this tasty, moist, pumpkin banana bread!

As you well know, pumpkin bread is amazing on it's own, as is banana bread. However, with the pumpkin and banana bread powers combined, this pumpkin banana bread is unstoppable! You will be too, when it comes to eating it!

As I devoured my loaf I pretended it was 65 degrees outside instead of 105. It was a great escape from reality.

I better go make more because the high tomorow is supposed to be 107.

​Happy baking!

Here are some of my favorite items to use while making this recipe!

Pumpkin Banana Bread

A few weeks ago we had dinner at my parent's house and we decided to make beef fajitas. Well, I have been craving fajitas ever since! We didn't have any tortillas in the house though, so for almost a week I'd tell my husband, "I'm thinking about making chicken fajitas for dinner tonight..." then he'd remind me we did not have tortillas.

Finally I got the chicken out to defrost one day and just decided I'd make a chicken fajita bowl instead. All the flavor a good chicken fajita, without the tortilla!

On top of that I decided to put the fajitas on a bed of riced cauliflower, so, this is a wonderful, low carb, veggie packed meal.

It's quick and easy to make to boot! I topped it with sliced avocado, simply because I only had one avocado, which would not make enough guacamole for me. It was tasty! Now that I'm blogging about it, I want to make these chicken fajitas for dinner again tonight!
