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”
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”
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”
Strawberry Shortcake with Almond & Coconut Flour
“Tay, let’s stop by Joe’s Garden real quick,” I say after dropping off V at preschool. It’s on the way home. We drive down the hill and around the bend to see the chipped white paint on the wooden sign announcing, “Strawberries.” It was destiny! My heart skips a little, and a surge ofContinue reading “Strawberry Shortcake with Almond & Coconut Flour”
Paleo Chicken Adobo
Spring is here and I immediately gravitate towards leeks, tarragon, rhubarb and the highly anticipatory light red jewels, which my girls know as strawberries. Lucky for us, we live in Bellingham and Spring also means colder climates suitable for warm, stew like meals. With this newness of seasonal availability also comes the everContinue reading “Paleo Chicken Adobo”
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.
Brown Butter Pumpkin Cake with Honey-Cinnamon Frosting (grain free & refined sugar free)
Do you know that I love to bake? After my miscarriage, I found so much solace in the baking realm. Not everyone does, but there is always that one thing in which our souls were meant to do. It’s where our abilities & creativity collide. Tsh from Simple Mom was one of the Keynote SpeakersContinue reading “Brown Butter Pumpkin Cake with Honey-Cinnamon Frosting (grain free & refined sugar free)”
Day 18 :: Pumpkin Pecan Scones & Needing to Be Still
Last night as I stared at my screen to finish up Day 17 on INFPs & ENFPs, all I wanted to do was cry & pour out my heart of what I’m dealing with. I did not want to write about Myers-Briggs (I know shock!). I wanted to talk about how hard it isContinue reading “Day 18 :: Pumpkin Pecan Scones & Needing to Be Still”
