The Practices of Eating Series
When I think about my practices of eating, I think about myself, my husband, my children & others. Because eating is not just about me. Sure, it begins with me, but it’s the process. It’s the selecting, the chopping, the roasting, the plating, the dining, the congregating, the eating, savoring, chewing, digesting, which encompasses this.Continue reading “The Practices of Eating Series”
On the Practices of Eating
After writing about my breastfeeding relationship with Caprice, I am overwhelmed by the stories other mamas shared who have struggled to feed their babies in what would be assumed as the most natural way. Mamas who spoke of the tears being evoked from years ago, shame, guilt and struggle; and still, it was words, “I’veContinue reading “On the Practices of Eating”
What I’m Into (February 2013 Edition)
I’ve read many others of what they’re into and never joined in; because, well, when I decide to board the train it’s left the station (as in it’s already the middle of the next month). And then, I read how other people organize their lists or categories, I find myself thinking, “I don’t read thatContinue reading “What I’m Into (February 2013 Edition)”
Chocolate Beet Cupcakes (Grain-free)
Standing around the large table in Home Economics, we all listened to Mrs. Haile speak on the glories of cake. She told us how one cake recipe had a secret ingredient in it we wouldn’t likely see in a recipe. Leaving us all guessing what could possibly it? When it came time to form groups,Continue reading “Chocolate Beet Cupcakes (Grain-free)”
On Lent & Simple Meals
After Caprice was born, I fully celebrated with food. I hadn’t drank any beer or wine in nine months. My appetite had diminished quite a bit in those last couple weeks with baby pressure on my organs. But, once she arrived, celebrating & feasting ensued. I think there’s a time for going all out whenContinue reading “On Lent & Simple Meals”
Grain-free Chocolate Cupcakes with Chocolate Ganache
Although it is Ash Wednesday by the time most of you will read this (which I apologize for posting a chocolate cupcake recipe); but, I remade these little wonders from an earlier recipe I have here and wanted to update it.

Walnut Roasted Red Pepper Dip
It’s five minutes before my oldest arrives on the bus, so here you go. Straight forward dip for those who can eat nuts, but avoiding all other allergens. I love it and so does everyone who tastes it. Add more cumin, more acid from the lemon, or heat from the red pepper chili flakes. ServeContinue reading “Walnut Roasted Red Pepper Dip”

Apple & Sunbutter Sandwich Donuts
We have three more days left in our Whole30 journey as a family, where we have forgone all grains, legumes, dairy & sugars for 30 days. And I can honestly say that I have felt so much more invigorated since the arrival of Caprice. She is still not anywhere close to sleeping through the night,Continue reading “Apple & Sunbutter Sandwich Donuts”
