Ashley’s Progress
As you may recall if you have been reading along here, last year was really hard for Ashley, and therefor for all of us. Autism gradually reared it’s big bad ugly head over a period of months, until it was all we could do to make it through the day. Then my friend Tom at Nourishing Meals…

Dairy Free Pizza Quiche
I didn’t set out to make a pizza flavored dairy-free quiche. I was just scrambling for ingredients, and an Italian theme emerged accidentally. In the pantry I grabbed black olives and sundried tomatoes. From the fridge I grabbed spinach and an onion. Oregano and garlic seemed to go with everything else, so I grabbed those…

Tonight I made another dish inspired by Jamie, and it is so simple, you’re going to love it. He used fresh garlic and thyme, which…

How The Spunky Coconut Came to Be
In 2007 we moved from Annapolis, Maryland to just outside Boulder, Colorado. We had no jobs waiting for us, and no family nearby. It was a total leap of faith. To pay for the move we sold one of our two cars, plus most of our furniture and belongings. We moved into a teeny-tiny apartment….
Chorizo and Eggs with Avocado
Everybody has a go-to meal, don’t you think? Something that (pretty much) everyone in the family will eat, that you can whip up in a matter of minutes. Something that tastes great. My go-to meal changes with time, and as we get tired of it. Right now it’s chorizo and eggs with avocado. Sometimes I…
