Christmas mornings meant dad pulling out all the stops when it came to getting ready in the morning, and the breakfast. Oh man, the breakfast. While the other 364 days of the year he would make oatmeal or Cream of Wheat, he decided to sizzle up bacon and fry up over easy eggs, making freshContinue reading “Grain-Free Cardamom Sticky Biscuits”

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”
Pear Pie with Lemon-Vanilla Honey Syrup (Grain-free)
I have seen loneliness. That morning waking up to realize what I thought was a bad dream was in fact reality. It would soon play out as one of the worst years of my life to date. My dad would be in jail for the first time, I began college, my younger brother was toContinue reading “Pear Pie with Lemon-Vanilla Honey Syrup (Grain-free)”
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)”
Kumquat Olive Oil Celebration Cake (Practices of Eating)
I do believe the beginnings of Spring are meant to be deeply breathed in. While Fall calls us to make roots and hunker down, pulling out the warm quilts and hearty pot for stews…it is in the melting of frost, the saplings bursting and hidden tarragon you knew not was there. Lent is preparingContinue reading “Kumquat Olive Oil Celebration Cake (Practices of Eating)”
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)”
Butternut Squash with Pork Meatball Soup
There are simple pleasures in life. Many of which revolve around little beauties. Those uninhibited, rarely captured (well, with Instagram it would seem everything is) moments. In my struggle of perpetual anxiety, I need these gems to pull out & lay the table with, in order to remind me that everything is a gift ifContinue reading “Butternut Squash with Pork Meatball Soup”
Paleo Pecan Tart
Cadence is known for asking, “Let’s go to a restaurant to eat!” You would think I don’t feed her well by her love for desire to be elsewhere. Quite the contrary as I’m sure you well know. And still, I liken her affection to my affections as a child to going out to eat. Continue reading “Paleo Pecan Tart”
Paleo Pie/Tart Crust
The class was gathered around the large cutting table turned pie crust 101. Where we would measure our fabric, pin the pattern to cut became the central spot for Mrs. Haile to teach us how to do a new lesson in Home Economics. I’m pretty sure most schools don’t offer home economics anymore, seeing thatContinue reading “Paleo Pie/Tart Crust”
