This post will be short. I made this zucchini brownie bread while I was in Arizona this summer. It’s gluten-free, actually it’s grain-free. In fact, it doesn’t rely on nut flours to bake. I made this and decided the rest should go to my older brother Willy as he couldn’t have gluten. I haveContinue reading “Paleo Zucchini Brownie Bread for Willy”

Grain & Dairy Free Peach-Blueberry Cobbler
It’s still officially summer here, which means the girls have not returned to school, and we are still enjoying the peak of seasonal bounty in the form of blueberries and peaches. I have to say when I see others IG accounts boasting of peaches in early July my heart sings a sad song. That isContinue reading “Grain & Dairy Free Peach-Blueberry Cobbler”
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)”
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)”
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”
Blueberry Tart for Biz
My dear friend Biz has her birthday in April, but blueberry season is in July & August. Her favorite dessert is blueberry pie. This year I wanted to specifically make a blueberry tart or pie just for her. I decided upon a tart as it’s easier to utilize with almond flour. This is aContinue reading “Blueberry Tart for Biz”
Fresh Pineapple with Lime Zest & Raw Honey (Easter Recipes)
Food hasn’t tasted quite as good these past months, which is a bummer since I live by the mantra, “I live to eat!” Truly, I love to eat. I love food. One of the reasons I love my gym is because I’m surrounded by my people (those that don’t shy away from eating). But, what does a pregnant woman do when eating fluctuates, taste buds diminish and then Lent pops up?
Take comfort that this too shall pass and hope by the time Spring arrives, the taste bud glory will return. I’m beginning to see this, especially after slicing the fresh pineapple with my oldest hovering for a taste. The girls complain that I put the lime zest, but I assure them that honey drizzled over it will make it come alive. Our lunch consisted of Roasted Mustard Cauliflower, deviled eggs & this naturally sweet delight. We agreed the pineapple won the gold.
Grilled Apricots with Fresh Raspberries & Mascarpone Cheese with Salted Butter Cookies
I’m learning to say what I want in life. I’m learning that true, humble confidence is incredibly beautiful & attractive. I’m learning to step out of fear & embrace life, even if I fail. Jesus has been inviting me to eat at his Table everyday, in order that I would know more of myself &Continue reading “Grilled Apricots with Fresh Raspberries & Mascarpone Cheese with Salted Butter Cookies”
Raw “Cheesecake” with Lime Zested Strawberries & Mangoes
Come Saturday morning my body immediately wanders to…homemade scones, americano with cream & fresh fruit. Yet, this Saturday morning, the scones were out & the cream. And I was okay with that. Honestly! What wasn’t out was the fruit, and with fresh fruit creeping up on the horizon, one cannot help but to enjoyContinue reading “Raw “Cheesecake” with Lime Zested Strawberries & Mangoes”
