Friday Finisher 8/17/18

Published: Aug 17, 2018 · Modified: Mar 11, 2019 by Rebecca Pytell · This post may contain affiliate links.

When things don't go as planned, what do you do? Just go to sleep and hope for a better day when you wake up! That's been pretty much the name of the game over here as the health woes are not closer to being figured out. And then it dawns on me that my final semester of college is starting in about 3 weeks! So I'm going to be adding an internship on to everything else. It's going to be one day at a time, but at least I know there will be a beautiful light at the end of the tunnel in terms of school when I can finally get my degree and really "level up".

So I wish I had answers, not only for myself, but to give you, but the vagueness continues. Let's just make the rest of August the best it can be (hope for no more rain!) and soak up that last bit of summer freedom!

Literally, what are we doing if we’re not combining the two coziest quick breads into one? Naturally moist and sweet from real pumpkin and ripe bananas, which makes it perfect for a gluten-free recipe that needs extra moisture and an eggless recipe since pumpkin and banana are OG vegan egg replacements! This gluten-free pumpkin banana bread is a blank slate for any cozy add-ins you can dream of, but its simplicity is what makes it shine on its own! 😋🙌
