It was such a chill weekend. A much needed chill weekend. On Saturday Andrew and I had a coffee date. They didn’t have pumpkin spice so I got a little chai spice added to my almond milk latte. It was kind of awesome. Then we ran errands. The usual #adulting kind of date that married…

Raw Carrot Cake
Last year I put on a bunch of weight. My clothes didn’t fit: even my boots didn’t fit. Worst of all, my face was all puffy and tight-feeling. Then my nutritionist, Cheryl called me. I’ve literally known Cheryl since high school. It’s a really great story, if you’d like to hear it. So in 9th…
Spunky Chocolate Mug Cake
So, I don’t use the mircowave. I know there are articles to support both sides of the microwave argument, but intuitively I’ve never felt good about doing it, so that’s how I made my choice. However, I have attempted a few mug cakes over the years. A chocolate mug cake is a once-a-month treat for…
Harvest Cupcakes and Easy Paleo Meals
Since I got my advance copy of Easy Paleo Meals my life has gotten So . Much . Easier. For reals. Two Sundays in a row I’ve made a variation of the meal plans in the book, which has saved me around $200 dollars a week in groceries, and I know that that should be the…
Orange Cake
Last year we drove through an orange orchard in bloom for the first time. The trees stood along the road for miles. We rolled down the windows, and the smell was aammmaaaazing! A couple weeks ago I was at Costco when I experienced that orange blossom smell. They were selling dwarf orange trees. I had to get one. Ashley…
Lemon Breakfast Cake
I’m always looking for more ways to add gelatin to our diet. You’ve probably heard that it’s great for your hair and nails, but it’s also a good source of protein, it supports joint health, and it’s very healing for the gut (especially helpful for Ashley). In March I attended Natural Products Expo West, and…
Monkey Bread “Cupcakes”, Every Last Crumb
I’ve always said that eating this way—without gluten, grains, or dairy—can be just as good as the alternative, or… dare I say, better. My good friend, Brittany has really proven that fact in her book, Every Last Crumb, which is a true masterpiece. I wouldn’t have asked to need to eat this way, but ten years ago…
Natural Food Coloring for Frosting
I can’t believe that Ashley is 10 years old. It seems like a big deal kind of birthday. I remember feeling that way when Zoe turned ten. But Ashley’s birthday has always been a source of dread for me, because she had complications the day she was born, and we didn’t know if she was…
Gluten-Free Raspberry Crepe Cake
This crepe cake has me thinking about my childhood. I’ve been eating crepes for as long as I can remember. My mom was a flight attendant when I was little. When she was home all I wanted to do was spend time with her. And aside from taking my younger brother and I to the…
