Look at what I got yesterday! My very first CSA basket from Family Farm Fresh. It was very exciting to open it! They deliver to Hanford each Tuesday, and bring the basket full of produce from local farmers right to your front door. It comes like this, with a newsletter clipped to it. In the… Continue Reading

Roasted broccoli
I have another post somewhere about how to steam broccoli in the microwave, but broccoli is also delicious roasted! It only takes a few more minutes than microwaving and the depth of flavor is amazing. If you’re a broccoli fan but haven’t roasted it before, now’s the time to give it a try. How to… Continue Reading
Life is Good, and Kale Chips
Life is so good. I might be tired all the time still, and maybe I don’t have much of an appetite, but I’m not feeling so sick all the time anymore, and I have an amazing husband who takes such good care of me, our dog, and our house. Hopefully soon I’ll feel even better… Continue Reading
I’m back! With a little surprise.
I’ve been away from the blog for more than one reason. I guess I should air them out and let you in on my life, right? 1) First there was the move, and the unpacking and settling-in. That excused me for maybe a week and a half. 2) Then my husband was away at survival… Continue Reading
Update + Gibson White Dinnerware and Etsy Art
I can’t believe it’s been almost a month since I’ve posted… lots has happened though. We’re in California now, and MOSTLY settled… I will take pictures soon. Hubs went off to SERE school (survival stuff) for 2 weeks leaving me alone in the house, so I hung a lot of pictures, assembled some furniture, got… Continue Reading
Primal Party Foods – 5 of 5
At first, when I was dabbling in the primal way of eating (grain free, whole, natural, unprocessed foods) I tried to get rid of our un-primal pantry staples by bringing them to parties. Fiesta night? I’ll make the Mexican rice! Recipe swap? I’ll bring pasta salad! Cookout? I’ll bring macaroni and (velveeta, fake) cheese with… Continue Reading
Perfect Primal Grain-Free Gluten-Free Waffles
These coconut flour waffles are grain-free and gluten-free, and they’re my new favorite breakfast “bread”. Coconut flour is loaded with fiber, and the eggs in this recipe make it full of protein (though I promise it doesn’t taste eggy). Add coconut oil, and you’ve got your good fats… this recipe really couldn’t be more perfect.… Continue Reading
Healthy Cherry Macadamia Muffin Recipe
This is a great healthy muffin recipe which is gluten-free and grain-free. These cherry muffins are lightly sweetened with a bit of honey and vanilla yogurt makes them incredibly moist. Since they’re made with almond flour, they’re much more filling and satisfying than conventional wheat flour muffins, so these make a great on-the-go breakfast that… Continue Reading
Gluten-Free Chocolate Banana Bread
I’ve been experimenting a bit with coconut flour, trying to come up with grain-free versions of usually-grainful baked goods. One thing I’m trying to perfect is a brownie, which this isn’t… but this came out of that experimentation. It’s a delicious banana bread with chocolatey undertones, great by itself or with butter spread over it.… Continue Reading
Pork Breakfast Sausage – Spicy Version
So, I have to tell you that since posting this recipe for breakfast sausage, I’ve pretty much had breakfast sausage in the fridge almost every day, ready to go. I typically make a batch a week, though sometimes I skip a week… But it’s not always the same recipe. I’ve come up with a spicy… Continue Reading
Coconut Lime Chicken Soup
I’ve never been a make-soup-from-scratch kind of girl… but I have no idea why not. I loved the idea of homemade soup, and enjoyed it when other people made it, but was somehow scared of making anything more complicated than plain old chicken soup. But this recipe is simple to make, delicious, and un-terrifying. If… Continue Reading
Asparagus and Poached Egg with Hollandaise Sauce
Yet another elegant use of hollandaise sauce. Steamed asparagus topped with a poached egg, all crowned with hollandaise sauce and black pepper. Need I say more? (Maybe I do need to… maybe I should make an egg-poaching tutorial post?) Check out that runny yolk… You can’t honestly tell me you’d prefer chicken fingers at Applebee’s,… Continue Reading
