In my freshman year of college I lived with my older brother in a run down house in a seedy part of town (I got car jacked in that same neighborhood). I would wake up M-F and head to my morning classes at Mesa Community College, then drive directly to work as the pizza deliveryContinue reading “Preserved Meyer Lemons”

Ginger-Lime Green Smoothie
Are you already feeling the weight of goals unattained, and organizational systems breaking down? Maybe you’re like me with great intentions, or too many ideas you aren’t quite sure how to carry them out? Just today I began thinking about all my dreams of what I want. This led me thinking about the goalsContinue reading “Ginger-Lime Green Smoothie”
My Paleo Ginger Cookies
Words can come out honestly and then other times they do anything but stand still. I feel like this these days. Staring blankly into the journal, computer screen, chopping board. In part, it’s due to unexpected anxiety attacks turning to panic attacks. They’ve been gripping me and I’m learning to lean into the deepContinue reading “My Paleo Ginger Cookies”
Paleo Pumpkin Bread
Friends, I have tried desperately to like pumpkin pie. I have heaped mounds of whipped cream a top it; but, maybe it’s due to the many bad ones I’ve been given growing up. For starters, the crusts were always overcooked. No, they were burnt. And then there’s the whole pumpkin itself. Could it beContinue reading “Paleo Pumpkin Bread”
Apple Crumb Tart (Grain & Dairy Free)
In college I lived in a house with nine other women. Sometimes I wonder if this was God preparing this sister to brothers only for a daughter only household. One thing I did find was what it is like to have sisters in a very communal living environment. We would all put money into groceriesContinue reading “Apple Crumb Tart (Grain & Dairy Free)”
Vegan Creamy Gazpacho
If you blink in the Pacific Northwest summer could be over that quickly. Meanwhile, in the deserts of Arizona it lasts long into October. As a child in Arizona, we began school a couple weeks prior to Labor Day. So, when my Washington raised husband referred to Labor Day as the official unofficial end ofContinue reading “Vegan Creamy Gazpacho”
Honeyed Rhubarb Grilled Salmon
When you grow up in the desert and your dad doesn’t fish, it’s not highly unlikely to see the absence of fish at the table. Maybe that’s why my older brother never liked fish. Still to this day he has a hard time with the smell of fish. But, I think it has more toContinue reading “Honeyed Rhubarb Grilled Salmon”
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)”
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”
Crockpot Harissa Meat Chili (Savoring: The Practices of Eating)
I hope you’ve been following along with my practices of Eating series. It’s a slow but steady wins the race sort of series, which hopefully will be done by the end of May. Yet, seeing that my word of the year is Peace, and combine that with life being too short to miss, the wordContinue reading “Crockpot Harissa Meat Chili (Savoring: The Practices of Eating)”
