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”

Vegan Kale Salad with Creamy Spicy Cashew Dressing

For Father’s Day, I prepared a slow roasted pork ribs along with this salad. Nothing quite like giving Ben a hearty Paleo Pork ribs with homemade barbecue sauce. And nothing like me trying to push the veggies on him. His take on most veggies is he eats them because he knows he should, not becauseContinue reading “Vegan Kale Salad with Creamy Spicy Cashew Dressing”

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”

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.  

Sauteed Pear Gingerbread Loaf

Ornaments placed on the tree, Vince Guarldi serenades me, as stockings hang above the fireplace.  Little girls dance while taking orders for steamed milk & Americanos. As the winter nights take residence, our home lay warm & snug.  A little family bundled in jammies & cozy blankies…this is what December is made of. Gingerbread housesContinue reading “Sauteed Pear Gingerbread Loaf”

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)”

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”
