Banana bread with Chia and Flaxseeds

I love banana bread and have been craving it! I made some the other day but it turned out terrible! I don't know if I didn't add enough of a certain ingredient or what, but it was crumbly and it tasted "healthy", not appetizing at all! Yuck! I woke up this morning determined to make my own banana bread. I wanted it to be healthy/healthful, but I hate that "healthy" taste...you know, the taste of the smell of any health food store.

So, here you go!

3/4 C. organic raw butter
2/3 C. organic can sugar
4 VERY ripe bananas
3 eggs at room temperature
1/2 C. milk (I wanted to use raw milk in this recipe, but I opted to use almond milk instead.)
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla
1 3/4 C. GF all purpose flour.I used Mrs. Glee's All-Purpose Performance Blend
1/4 tsp. Himalayan salt crystals
2 tsp. raw chia seeds
2 tsp. raw whole flaxseeds

Grease a 9x5 bread pan. Pre-heat oven to 350*.
In a bowl, cream together the butter and sugar. Once creamed, add in banana, eggs and milk. Mix well until well blended! No chunks of banana. It will creamy.
Add flour, salt, chia and flaxseed into the creamy mixture until well mixed.
Pour mixture into the bread pan. There will be left overs, which I poured into cupcake pans. I made 6 extra little cakes :)
The cupcakes bake fast! I left them in for 23 minutes. The bread pan took 55 minutes.

IF you have any leftovers, store in a container in the fridge.

Salisbury Steak with lemon garlic herb potatoes and green beans

YUMMO! And it was so easy to make from scratch!

Salisbury Steak:
1 lb. ground organic beef
1/3 C. minced onions
1/4 C. gluten free bread crumbs. (I toasted a lot of my Udi's white bread until it was super crispy. I crumbled it up and added Italian spices, garlic, sea salt and pepper)
1 organic egg, slightly beaten
Sea salt
Pepper
EVOO

Gravy---
1 white onion sliced into rings
1 tsp. organic cane sugar
2 C. beef broth (I used Edward and Sons. It's GF and vegan. The vegan part doesn't matter since I used an entire lb of meat lol)
3 cloves garlic - minced
3 TBLS. tomato paste
Dried thyme
2 TBLS. gluten free all purpose flour
a few squirts of red wine vinegar
Parmesan cheese

In a mixing bowl, mid together all ingredients for the steak - beef, onions, bread crumbs, egg, sea salt, pepper. Heat a cast iron skillet to medium-low heat and add your EVOO. Form the meat into steak patties and cook - 7-8 minutes each side.
While the meat is cooking, simmer together the beef broth, sugar, garlic, tomato paste, thyme, red wine vinegar and onion slices. After about 15 minutes, sprinkle in the flour and stir constantly so it thickens up a bit. Allow to simmer on low

Potatoes and Green Beans
6 large potatoes - sliced
1 1/2 lbs. fresh green beans - snapped in half
4  cloves garlic
Dried basil
Sea Salt
Lemon juice
Pepper
EVOO

In a large stock pot, heat the EVOO. Add minced garlic then potatoes. Let cook for a bit. Add sea salt, pepper, basil and lemon juice. Stirring to get potatoes coated well. Around the last 10 minutes add green beans. I like a crispier green bean so I don't overcook. Coat green beans well. Serve :)
