Today while skimming through blogs, I came across this recipe for Homemade Graham Crackers. And they just happened to also be grain-free! And they ALSO happened to use ingredients I had on hand already! So I had to go for it. I love(d) graham crackers… sometimes you just want something cinnamony and honey-y that will…

Yes, I’m still pregnant, still in Prodromal Labor… consistent contractions all day and night, but that’s just the “problem.” They’re not getting more intense, so… I’m left in limbo. And what do people in limbo do? Bake cookies! (And make tomato basil sauce out of the TONS of tomatoes from our garden, but I didn’t…

Sometimes the simplest things are the best. Full-fat cottage cheese, blueberries (the kind that explode in your mouth they’re so juicy) and strawberries from a local farmer, garden-ripe tomatoes… You can’t tell me this doesn’t look amazing!

Back in October, I shared Perfect Primal Waffles with you – and hopefully you’ve made and enjoyed them! We’ve actually eaten them tons of times, when we make a bigger/more complicated brunch on the weekends. But sometimes we want pancakes, and guess what! The batter works perfectly for pancakes too. Grain-free Gluten-free Pancakes: 6 eggs…

I am SUCH a fan of Zucchinis, I get so excited whenever our plants start producing. And the grocery-store ones never seem to measure up to our garden ones… just such creamy delicious flesh, thin tender peel (with no gross waxy stuff rubbed on it). So when we had four ripe zucchinis at once, I…

One of my husband’s favorite candies is the York Peppermint Patty. This minty-chocolate treat might not be the most popular candy bar on the market, but it’s not that far of a stretch from his favorite ice cream, mint chocolate chip. But take a look at this ingredient list: sugar, corn syrup, semi- sweet chocolate…

One of the first things my husband requested when our zucchini plant started producing was, “Something like fried zucchini, maybe with parmesan cheese for the coating?” So we’ll give him the credit for basically inventing these. And they were GOOD. Even the leftovers were great cold or room temperature (though they also re-warmed just fine)….

Zucchini is something I look forward to every spring and summer… and I always hope for a bountiful crop of it in my garden. Other people complain about having too many, but I never seem to have enough for everything I want to do with it! Last year, our plant hardly made any at all,…

My foray into baking with nut butters began with this gluten-free grain-free muffin recipe. It was delicious, but as I mentioned, the next day they were a tad dry (easily remedied by spreading on some butter).

These blueberries are from our local CSA, and they are awesomely flavorful and juicy. This time, instead of whipping the cream…
