No Monkey Business Gluten-Free Banana Muffins

By //  by Sarah Robinson 1 Comment

The last few weeks I've felt like "The Flash" on speed. Maybe not my entire body, but my brain anyway. It's the time of year when all of my worlds collide: job, volunteering, and hobbies. Throw in a season-change and our poor dog's out-of-control allergies  translate to the entire family being up all night listening to her gnaw her paws. It's a recipe for brain freak-outs. With all of the craziness I haven't stuck to my almost gluten-free diet. The local pizza place is back to relaying my order …
