I can’t get enough carrot cake lately. I’ve been making my friend Elana’s gluten free carrot cake, and I’ve been making my own. Can one ever have enough carrot cake? If I had to choose just one kind of cake, and I could never eat another kind again, it would have to be carrot cake. We like…
Lemon Herb Chicken
This is our new favorite chicken dish. It is so simple and yet such an explosion of flavor. I’ve always loved getting chicken with lemon sauce when we go out to eat, and now we can have it at home with organic ingredients. I’ve read that chicken (which isn’t organic) is fed arsenic to make…
Celery Root Fries, one of my favorite celeriac recipes
It all started when I got the biggest celery root ever in my Door to Door Organics box a couple weeks ago. The last time I had celery root was when Ashley was a baby, and I couldn’t remember what I did with it. So I asked you guys on Facebook, and you had so…
Gluten Free Flatbread with Herbs and Cooked Garbanzo Beans
We have been buying and eating hummus frequently lately. So I decided I should make it myself, by soaking and cooking dry garbanzo beans, which is so much cheaper. But before I could make hummus I had a thought: “Can you make socca with cooked garbanzo beans?” I know, I know, I have a history…

Eat Like a Dinosaur cookbook review
I haven’t done a formal review of it, but we loved our review copy of Paleo Pals: Jimmy and the Carrot Rocket Ship, which is by Victory Belt Publishing. Paleo Pals is a kids story book with about ten recipes at the end. My kids adore this story and its message. Yesterday we got our review copy…
How to Make Kombucha
A couple years ago my friend and I were at the local Natural Grocers, and she bought a Kombucha. “What is that?” I asked.
