Papaya Lime Coconut Muffins
I’m sorry I have been so quiet this past week. Truth is my family and I have eaten a lot of whole-food this week with very few inspirational recipes. The best meals are those that don’t require recipes though, right? 😉 Oh, I do have a couple of special just-waiting for that right moment recipes […]

Grain-Free Irish Soda Bread, 2-ways
My red hair is generally a dead giveaway to one of the most distinct parts of my family ancestry.
