Lemon Meltaways

Spring is finally getting its act together and showing up a little bit more around here. I actually wore flip-flops (!!) this week to run errands, and even braved a walk in just a lightweight long sleeve t-shirt (!!!). Pretty major.

Strawberry Shortcakes with Grain-Free Orange Fennel Biscuits

Can you feel spring in the air yet? It’s a little slow in coming to some of us northerners (ahem—hurry up, please!), but that doesn’t mean I’m not ready to celebrate the new season. Despite the patchy snow on the ground and winter’s chill still hanging in the air, I’m full on ready for spring.  [Continue reading...]

Ghost. Nuclear bomb. Shark. Some words just have a way of striking fear in our hearts the moment we hear them, don’t they? Beets. Scare you? If they do, don’t high-tail it out of here just yet. Because if you give beets a chance, you just might come around and warm up to them like  [Continue reading...]

Chewy Chocolate Ginger Cookies

If there’s one thing that’s guaranteed to alleviate my stress, it’s tying on my apron and baking cookies. Measuring the ingredients, stirring the dough, shaping the cookies, and watching them brown to delicious perfection in the oven sets my mind and heart at ease…especially when there is chocolate involved! But sugary cookies laden with empty  [Continue reading...]

Honey Almond Chai Wafer Cookies from @hallie_klecker

Like I mentioned earlier this week, I’m really limiting sweeteners right now on my healing protocol…so I’m eating very few sweets right now. Every 4 or 5 days, if I’m truly feeling deprived (which is rare), I treat myself to something just a little indulgent, like these Honey Almond Chai Wafer Cookies. They’re my take  [Continue reading...]

Apple Spice Upside Down Cake

So back before Thanksgiving, I was scrolling through Facebook one night and came across a recipe mentioned in a comment thread for an upside-down pear gingerbread cake. I must have had a sweet tooth that night, because it sounded so good to me that I nearly leaped up out of my chair right that second  [Continue reading...]

Carrot Sesame Crackers (grain-free, vegan) from Daily Bites

Happy December! How are you enjoying the new month so far? I spent a few hours last weekend doing a “bathroom raid.” I decided to take a sharp look at the body products and cosmetics in my drawers and pitch anything that was outdated or rarely used. More importantly, I took a good look at  [Continue reading...]
