Pancakes: Too Good to Be True?
Sometimes you just want some good old fashioned pancakes, you know? Those of us who live a grain free lifestyle know what I am talking about. There are tons of recipes for all different types of gluten free, or grain free, or paleo pancakes, but somehow they never really make the grade. They are often … Continue reading Pancakes: Too Good to Be True?
SUP YO!
First, let me say I hate being cold. But even more than that, I hate being wet and cold. So, when I agreed to go to a Stand Up Paddle Board Yoga class this past weekend, I couldn't tell you what I was thinking... Standup Paddle Board Yoga is exactly what it states. Participants move … Continue reading SUP YO!
Chocolate Zucchini Bread
It appears I have been on a bit of a chocolate kick, and I am not stopping now. Last week I got more zucchini and zephyrs than the law allows from my CSA. This was compounded by the fact that I had nearly 2x that amount already taking up space in my refrigerator. So, what’s … Continue reading Chocolate Zucchini Bread
Figs: My New Obsession
One of my all time favorite fruits is the fig. It’s true, dried figs are available throughout the year, but there is nothing like the lusciously sweet taste and unique texture of fresh figs.

See, this comfortable clothing battle has been raging from the time … Continue reading New Clothes? Yes, Please!

What food did I immediately think of...beets! The problem is, not everyone likes beets as much as I do, and … Continue reading A Cake That Can’t Be “Beet”
Presto Pesto
One of the best things about my CSA, besides all the super fresh organic produce, is the challenge each new week of food presents. Often I find I am confronted with totally new vegetables, or an absolute abundance. This week, it was basil. We got more fresh basil than I have ever seen in my … Continue reading Presto Pesto
Peach Cobbler
What do you do with a jar full of granola and 3 lbs of perfectly ripe peaches from the CSA? Um, make peach cobbler, of course! We had kind of a tough time finishing our peaches from the CSA last week. Many of them over ripened quickly, so I put them in the fridge to … Continue reading Peach Cobbler
I Want Cereal!
A few nights ago I dreamed I ate a very large bowl of cereal. But, it wasn’t just any cereal, it was one of the foods I had the hardest time breaking up with when I began to eat a cleaner diet. My ex...Kashi Go Lean Crunch. You know, the cereal that boasts it contains … Continue reading I Want Cereal!
