I took a little break last week to meetfriends and family for a relaxing vacation in Washington. We rented a house in Port Orchard right by the water (paradise) where we kayaked, played pickle ball, drank plenty of wine and ate like kings and queens. This vacation was greatly needed after almost 15 months of hard work,barely taking weekends off to recharge my tired brains. Summer came and went with me spending most ifin front of a computer screen. I was in dire need of nature, laughter, some outdoor grilling, libations and late mornings in bed. I looked at my computer a total of three times for no longer than a few minutes at a time. I was on VA-CA-TION mode and loved every minute of it!

And though I was technically on a break from work, I couldn’t resist cooking a few easy, tasty dishes like a detox salad, a watermelon, strawberry and tomatillo salad, andthis simple and healthy banana bread recipe.

Don’t expect the same level of sweetness as you would get with a traditional banana bread; this is after all a healthy version of what most of us consider dessert! This healthy banana bread recipe is more like breakfast – sweet enough to satisfy a sugar craving but also really satisfying in terms of texture (tender with a soft crunch from the walnuts) and feel good ingredients.
