did I miss the boat? yeah, I guess with the blog being about dealing with and being a celiac, I should have posted. I was instead, preoccupied with many endeavors, including sewing a new pocket for my BRAND NEW NOOK, and reading and reading and reading.
I battled a headache that was spurred on by the wildfires of Minnesota, and the smell reaching the middle of Wisconsin. WOW, it smelled like smoked fish and sausages being grilled at the house next door. It was wildfires, and barometers going nuts.
So in apologizing for the remiss post, let us read something that made my heart practically cry and seize at the same time. A narrative and story in Living Without Magazine. I love this magazine as it really does make a person with Celiac lifestyles, challenges, and HOPES!
In college, I suffered debilitating dizzy spells, spitting up blood, bloating, passing out, and horrible cramps. But I told people only that I thought I had the flu, AGAIN. Here, here is a story that made me cry... you too might find it useful.

Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Nightshade Free Delicious Dessert
Girl Scout Banana Boats, made in the microwave or Firepit
I remember a delicious treat from the fireside of Girl Scout camp outs.
I never really liked the Graham cracker, so when I realized that a banana, mini marshmallows, and chocolate chips could make something better.... I started something new.
So in the FIREPIT
you slit a banana open, and stuff the cleft with mini GF marshmallows, and GF chocolate. (if you need dairy free, make sure the chocolate is Dairy free), wrap in aluminum foil, fold over the ends tight, and place the delectable banana in the charcoals. You will have to do some trial and error, as each person has a preference for how done they like their banana.
Microwave? In a bowl
Slice the banana into 1 cm sliver discs
CAMPFIRE GF Ultra huge marshmallows work best. slice them into 5 or 6 slices and line a cereal bowl, then place banana slices for the next layer, then sprinkle with 2 to 3 tablespoons of dark chocolate chips, or I break up some Ghiaradelli single serving 72% bars.
Microwave on high for 1 and a half minutes if you need to stop and turn the dish. then another 30 seconds.
IS IT DONE YET?
The marshmallows should puff and melt, the banana will be shiny and smothered in chocolate lumps.. which when gently folded, NOT STIRRED, will allow you a lovely layered dessert.
Enjoy!
Added bonus? this can be prepared ahead of time and put in a Tupperware/Corning-ware (I prefer ceramic to plastic any day) container for a 2-3 pm work treat in the microwave at work. You will drive your co-workers wild with jealousy.
