Grain-free Tabbouleh with Chickpeas

Wow, I had such a great weekend, I don’t even know where to start. Kevin and I got lots done around the house, all 8 recipes that I made on Saturday turned out perfect on the first try, and the weather was nice enough on Sunday that we decided to visit the local amusement park…

I’ve fallen head over heals for cherries. We found ourselves at the Farmers Market last weekend and within moments of getting through the door, I took a bee-line straight to the rows of fresh cherries. The fact that I already had 3 bags of them sitting at home didn’t phase me. Farmer’s Market cherries? Fat…

It’s Kevin’s (30th!) birthday tomorrow and while store-bought presents are nice, I wanted to come up with a special treat for him instead.

We just may have a warm, rain-free weekend upon us! Oh I hope I haven’t jinxed it by saying that. My sister, Dad and I are headed to the Stampede to hit up the gluten-free eats on the midway and rock out to George Canyon at the Coca Cola Stage on Sunday night. There’s nothing…

Kevin and I had such a great time camping this weekend. It’s exactly what we needed. There were many good eats to be had (including these high protein, gluten-free, homemade protein bars) naps, and long, long roads to venture down. We had planned to stay at the campsite until this morning, but decided to head…

Ultra Green Smoothie

Our weekend filled with adventures and socializing was a nice break from spending my time alone in the kitchen. I love cooking, but sometimes a girl just needs a break! It wasn’t until Monday morning that I realized I had absolutely no meals prepared for the day ahead. I had to wing it and pack…
