I read this honest, vulnerable piece on overeating today and it struck a chord with me. I was hit by how often I hear from someone, be it a close friend or acquaintance or reader, “Well Kamille, you eat really healthy!,” or, “Oh, Kamille has a blog where she talks about food and hospitality, andContinue reading “Grain-Free & Peanut Butter-Free Monster Cookies”

Eating with Grace (Practices of Eating)
My chest tightening & heart racing, while my stomach turns & grinds. It’s a signal of anxiety looming overhead. I got this a lot in the first six months of Caprice’s life. It’s a feeling like its going to end at any moment. I might die, she might come down with a mysterious illness, VContinue reading “Eating with Grace (Practices of Eating)”
What I’m Into (June 2013 Edition)
It seems too soon to be done with Fourth of July, school but a distant memory and berry picking, swimming and sunshine in full swing. Alas, I wave my white flag to the mercy of summer and submit willingly. However, before I go pouring another gin and tonic with grapefruit, let me recap you onContinue reading “What I’m Into (June 2013 Edition)”
Eating Ethically (Practices of Eating
There are those who are passionate about fighting Monsanto, GMO’s, legislation against raw milk farmers and the like. I am not one of those people. At least not in the constantly research, march in protest and wave angry hands. It’s just not me. You won’t see RTT Facebook page filled with repostings of why weContinue reading “Eating Ethically (Practices of Eating”
Eating Without, Cooking Without to Know the Other & GF/Vegan Blueberry Crisp(Practices of Eating)
My friend asked me what I thought about someone asking her the following, “I’m okay with adjusting my meal for someone who has a diagnosed food allergy from the doctor. But, I don’t see why I should for the person who simply “chooses” to eat the way they eat.” Honestly, I could see aContinue reading “Eating Without, Cooking Without to Know the Other & GF/Vegan Blueberry Crisp(Practices of Eating)”
What I’m Into (May 2013 Edition)
1. Favorite Bites May has been hit or miss in the food area. I haven’t been creating as much in the kitchen, which always tends to dry up a bit of my soul. I was invited to my friend’s husband’s new restaurant with their soft opening. It was really nice, well thought out, and manyContinue reading “What I’m Into (May 2013 Edition)”
Without, Some Call it Fasting (Practices of Eating)
Discipline is one of those words I can easily brush off or go on overkill. It seems balance in life is not my forte. I’m an all or nothing. Full or empty. Overindulge or throw it all out kind of gal. Recently, well, a month and half (probably more than that) I haven’t been veryContinue reading “Without, Some Call it Fasting (Practices of Eating)”
Sacramental Act of Sharing Your Table
Of late I’ve been reading about eating. Yes, eating. How eating is something we often don’t spend much time thinking about, because, well…we do it everyday in this Western world. But, did you know that in Ancient Near East culture, it was gathering around the table & sharing a meal where covenants were created andContinue reading “Sacramental Act of Sharing Your Table”
How a Sourdough Cashew Bread & I Met
I’ve been salivating over The Urban Poser’s sourdough cashew bread for a while, but I haven’t had time to make it. That is until now. And all I can wonder is, “why haven’t I done this long before?” Yesterday I processed the raw, organic cashews with filtered water. Then, added the probiotic (mine wasContinue reading “How a Sourdough Cashew Bread & I Met”
Harnessing the Power of Taste (Practices of Eating)
Years back I remember playing this ice breaker game with colleagues, in which I had to answer the question, “Which one of your five senses would you hate to live without?” Immediate gut reaction, “Taste.” Granted, taste and smell truly go hand in hand, it’s my sense of taste which serves as a guidepost. TheContinue reading “Harnessing the Power of Taste (Practices of Eating)”
