Peanut Butter Banana Cake - Franny's gluten-free life

Starting tomorrow Franny is going gluten and dairy-free again. I want to do what is best for my daughter and sincerely feel that she has these intolerances and biomedical intervention will help her get better. I am committed to helping her recover from autism and that means doing whatever I can, but can I just complain for a second? This diet sucks. No cheese, no bread, no crackers, no McDonald's, no convenience when fixing a meal. This diet simultaneously makes me feel like a mean mom for withholding foods that all children should be able to enjoy like pizza and ice cream, and a great mom for being willing to make such a huge sacrifice to help her. There, I feel better getting that off my chest.

Along with my usual recipes, this blog will now feature gluten and dairy free recipes as well- mostly geared towards children, as I hope to be able to help other moms of picky eaters who have to implement this impossible diet.

I actually liked this cake. Franny, however, did not. I cut the cake into pieces and froze them. Maybe she'll like it a little better once she forgets what cake tastes like when it's baked with real flour. Poor kid!
