I hope you’ve been following along with my practices of Eating series. It’s a slow but steady wins the race sort of series, which hopefully will be done by the end of May. Yet, seeing that my word of the year is Peace, and combine that with life being too short to miss, the wordContinue reading “Crockpot Harissa Meat Chili (Savoring: The Practices of Eating)”

Bread & Wine Review & Mango Chutney & Turkey Burgers (Practices of Eating)
My friend Jessica told me about the release of this book titled, Bread & Wine by an author who’s name rung a bell from way back when. Her name was Shauna Niequist. I remembered hearing about her from one of Rob Bell’s sermons way back in 2007. So I did what any person would do…”aContinue reading “Bread & Wine Review & Mango Chutney & Turkey Burgers (Practices of Eating)”
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)”
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”
Walnut Roasted Red Pepper Dip
It’s five minutes before my oldest arrives on the bus, so here you go. Straight forward dip for those who can eat nuts, but avoiding all other allergens. I love it and so does everyone who tastes it. Add more cumin, more acid from the lemon, or heat from the red pepper chili flakes. ServeContinue reading “Walnut Roasted Red Pepper Dip”
Apple & Sunbutter Sandwich Donuts
We have three more days left in our Whole30 journey as a family, where we have forgone all grains, legumes, dairy & sugars for 30 days. And I can honestly say that I have felt so much more invigorated since the arrival of Caprice. She is still not anywhere close to sleeping through the night,Continue reading “Apple & Sunbutter Sandwich Donuts”
Day 3: Pumpkin Puree & Better than Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte
Every year we go to eastern Washington over Labor Day to visit the grandparents and attend the county fair. And every morning is the same cozy routine. The girls head upstairs, while granny makes them breakfast and we sleep in. Upon waking, we casually sit on the couch drinking coffee as the girls play. Continue reading “Day 3: Pumpkin Puree & Better than Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte”
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”
Rosemary Infused Honey Simple Syrup Spritzer
As the girls go down for a quiet time, I find my own solace by pulling out the ice to fill up the glass. What proceeds is the quart sized mason jar filled with rosemary infused honey simple syrup, which gets portioned out over the ice. I pour the water with gas over and popContinue reading “Rosemary Infused Honey Simple Syrup Spritzer”
