There are some foods that have been such a long staple in our home (both my husband and I having enjoyed them since our own childhood), we forget that not everyone has tried them just yet! Recently, we had a sweet visitor who is not native to our country. When we have guests, I do […]

We don’t eat a lot of grains. To keep toxins down and reduce inflammation, on the occasion that we do eat grains, we do all we can to keep them organic and enjoy them in the healthiest way possible.

Last week I introduced you to a new co-op that I am super excited about!

As a recipe writer/food blogger, I spend a lot of time working with and testing other people’s recipes…sometimes per their request, sometimes because I know they are just that fabulous and I really want to try their food. When I was gifted Melissa Joulwan’s original Well Fed, there were several recipes that I had […]

Yesterday was my oldest child’s birthday, and as usual, he asked for his favorite cake: German Chocolate. Since I long perfected an “our safe” recipe for this, it was a no brainer how to go about making it happen… But then as I sat and looked at the 6 egg whites that remained after […]

It may come as a surprise to some of you, but even though all of my recipes shared on this page are 100% gluten and dairy free, except for my children who are sensitive or allergic to dairy, we actually have a few dairy eaters in this house. And every now and then I […]
