When I was getting tested for celiac disease my Naturopath recommended that I stick to sprouted breads to ease my way into eating gluten again. As an attempt to stay positive about the whole experience, I looked forward to trying out 100% sprouted bread – something I’d been recommending to many of my clients for…
I wasn’t comfortable having people over for dinner before starting the blog. I always thought the meal would end up burnt, undercooked, or just plain bad tasting. But like they say, practice makes perfect. While I might not be perfect, I am definitely a lot more confident. Plus, it doesn’t hurt having a blog filled…
Have you introduced any new foods into your life recently? Maybe you’ve given fennel a try? What about coconut flour? Or, maybe you gave kale a run for it’s money green(y)? [haha worst joke ever. I swear I’m actually funny in real life] While I was studying nutrition, I took it upon myself to buy…
Generally I wake up starving, but when it’s this hot all I want to do is lay under a fan, spraying myself with water every couple of seconds. … don’t judge… I have done this before and it’s absolutely refreshing. But there was none of that this morning, no, no. I peeled myself out of…
Enjoying a cooling dinner after a long day in the sunshine is pure bliss. Having a fear of heights while climbing a wall is the exact opposite. Kind of a deal breaker, actually. Although I did get higher with each climb, set goals and pushed my personal limit, I think it’s fair to say that…
I recently had my parents over for dinner while Kevin was traveling a couple weeks ago. It’s nice to have the house to myself every once in awhile, but after a couple of weeks I tend to get a bit lonely! When my parents called me on a Monday night to ask what I was…
Do you remember the first time you drank Gatorade? I do! I was at a track and field meet. After the race, my coach passed me a bottle of Gatorade and told me to drink it to avoid feeling sick. The neon color should have been enough to raise a red flag, but I drank…
You have 60 minutes before a group of your closest friends show up for a dinner party and you forgot to make an appetizer. What do you do? a) Run around the house like a chicken with your head cut off [an expression my mom always used… and lived constantly]. b) Head out to the…
Oh my gosh it’s so hot out. It’s been 81F or higher since Sunday and looks like today will be about the same. Living in a town that sees 8 months of snow makes 81 degrees feel like we’re living in the sun. Thankfully our neighbors have air conditioning, and I have plenty of treats…
I’ve always had a soft spot for pastries. I haven’t exactly been able to indulge like I used to since removing sugar, dairy, and gluten from my diet. That was until I tried my hand at a vegan, gluten-free version of Martha Stewart’s pie crust. First pastry creation – Grilled inside out apple pies *swoon*…
