This Hawaiian-inspired twist on the Amalgam Kitchen classic GF School is In Banana Bread is golden, moist, and full of island vibes. While it makes the perfect after-school snack, here’s the good news—it’s just as much for the grown-ups. Picture coming home from teaching, cutting a warm slice, and enjoying it with a cup of tea—iced or hot, depending on the weather. You might even pair it with my Lemon Verbena Iced Tea. Kids love it too, but it’s especially a treat for parents, teachers, and caregivers.

I am generally a savory breakfast kind of girl. But when I am craving something sweet using my absolute favorite berry, the blueberry, these delicious muffins are one of my go-tos. The sweet juicy morsels set in the tangy lemony grain-free moist muffins pop in your mouth.

This smoothie is one of my pre and post workout go-tos. It is packed with nutrition. My teenage son, who can be picky, also loves it.

Fall brings cooler, crisper weather and shorter days as well as a beautiful host of seasonal fruits including pears, apples, pomegranates and my favorite, persimmons. This bread uses Hachiya persimmon, which are great for baking because as they ripen, their flesh turns very soft and purée-like, which is great for incorporating sweetness and adding a rich darker color to your bread batter. Dates and walnuts are perfect companions to the persimmon in this delightful fall quick bread, perfecting suited for with an afternoon cup of tea.

It’s cooling down a bit this week on the West Coast and this dish is the perfect cozy, cinnamony, filling and warm breakfast dish for chilly mornings although I do enjoy it as an afternoon snack. I love serving it with a bit of extra nut milk, sheep yogurt or dollop of coconut whip cream, my guilty pleasure is Truwhip.
