“Fast & Fabulous” Cookbook Review

When Lisa Leake from 100 Days of Real Foods posted looking for ambassadors for her new cookbook, I jumped at the chance to fill out the application. IMG_2612.JPG

If you follow me on my Facebook page, Krisha’s Quest, you know that in the past few weeks I have made great strides in my home with truly clean eating. Although, we have always been fairly healthy, there were things I did allow.

My inspiration stems from hoping it gives light to a few struggles lately with Laynee’s health & medical issues, but really, I have wanted to do this for so long & have allowed excuses to win.

When the new cookbook arrived, “Fast & Fabulous” I was so excited to open it up & read! I am here to tell you there are some incredible recipes in here! They range from family meals to many different lunch box options, not just for kids, but for adults too!

Last night my girls needed a good bedtime snack. Honestly, most nights by the time we eat dinner, we do not need a bedtime snack! But, last night because of evening activities, we ate early!

I found it the perfect time to try this out: CINNAMON-GLAZED BANANAS.

This was not only mom-approved, but it was also kid-approved! Oh, and boyfriend-approved too….the little bit he got to try when he got home!

We simply put in some coconut oil, pure maple syrup, cinnamon & pure vanilla extract into a skillet over medium heat until it began bubbling. Then, we added in bananas & cooked for about 60 seconds stirring to coat. We enjoyed some plain & some over small scoops of vanilla ice cream.
