One day, my husband looked at me lovingly and said those five little words many of us never expect to hear: “Honey, I miss your salad.” Yes, my salad. I guess it had been a few weeks since I had made one of my nutrient-packed salads and my husband had a craving. Now if only […]

October 7, 2012 By 4 Comments
I can’t believe we haven’t had an Ingredient Challenge Monday since July, but with the Healthy Lunchbox Series overlapping the 2nd Monday in both August and September, missing those months just couldn’t be helped! That being said, with Bountiful Baskets offering blueberries in bulk this summer, I enjoyed the extra time to review and re-review […]
Coconut Flour Apple Crumble (nut-free)
October 2, 2012 By 13 Comments
When Phoebe invited me to her Virtual Viewing Party and All-American Potluck, the first thing that popped into my mind was apple pie. I mean, besides hot dogs, what is more American than apple pie? Only, I am not a huge fan of apple pie. Don’t ask me why, I am not 100% certain; I […]

Roasted Red Pepper Paleo Hummus
August 8, 2012 By 21 Comments
I must admit that, when giving up legumes, hummus was not high on my list of things I would miss. Don’t get me wrong…I love a good hummus. It’s just not one of those things that was on our regular shopping list. In fact, previously, I might purchase hummus once a year and I might […]
