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)”

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)”
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. What I found was this original post was my reflections on Lent three yearsContinue reading “Grain-free Chocolate Cupcakes with Chocolate Ganache”
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”
Day 5: How to Make Homemade Almond Milk
Truth be told, I still purchase cow’s milk for my daughters (gasp I know). I also on occasion drink it myself in the form of a latte, which honestly is quite rare as I prefer an Americano or regular coffee over many special drinks. A couple months back I was having some away timeContinue reading “Day 5: How to Make Homemade Almond Milk”
Paleo Zucchini Brownies
Brownies are one of my favorites, because truly, what is there not to like about a cake-like bar that is not a cake and can be cooked in one pan. I commonly ask people if given the option between the following: chocolate chip cookie, cake or brownie, what would you choose to have once aContinue reading “Paleo Zucchini Brownies”
Rhubarb-Lime Cardamom with Streusel Muffins
Muffins are simply cake for breakfast. My senior year of high school, Samantha would pick me up and depending on time, we would drive to a spot in town called Mostly Muffins, because they mostly had muffins there. I rarely got one, but I salivated over the one with cream cheese frosting. Like I said,Continue reading “Rhubarb-Lime Cardamom with Streusel Muffins”
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.
Being a Blessing & Banana Bread Chocolate Chip Cookies
Whenever the summer fades and autumn begins, or winter days emerge, banana bread is comfort food. Our week has been a winter wonderland. Monday the snow began to fall with Tuesday being knee deep for the littles, and today well below freezing. Any plans that we had hoped for have taken a turnContinue reading “Being a Blessing & Banana Bread Chocolate Chip Cookies”
Blueberry Breakfast Crumb Cake
My mom would make those Jiffy Blueberry muffins for us kids growing up, and I counted it a Sunday morning treat. The cake batter smell that could only come from a box has a special place in my heart. Not because I like cake from a box, but because it’s quintessential 80s childhood. TheContinue reading “Blueberry Breakfast Crumb Cake”
