Happy Memorial Day!

Happy Monday and Happy Memorial Day everyone!

Let's take a brief minute to honor our veterans and those still in battle for the great U.S.A. today!

Raise those flags and salute our troops!

Oh, and of course, wear your red, white, and blue.

What's more American than a banana cake?

I mean it's definitely not red, white, and blue...but seriously? 

Banana cake screams American.

 Like..."born in the U.S.A." American

 not the "I drive-thru Mc'Donalds for my sausage, egg, and cheese biscuit every morning" American.

 Nope, more of the classic American.

This cake is super yummy, sweetened with honey, and dense from the bananas.

 Oh, and it's gluten free because of the buckwheat flour.

Definitely something you would serve at a Memorial Day party... 

or send over seas to our troops.
