Quinoa Salad with Smokey Bear Dressing
Is it weird that the entire time I was enjoying this bowl of quinoa salad I was thinking of Smokey the bear? [source] Only you can prevent forest fires… Oh my gosh, blast from the past. But this recipe isn’t about bears, or forest fires, or PSA’s from 1950, sorry to disappoint. This recipe is…
Gluten-free Wild Rice and Mushroom Stuffing
What a Thanksgiving dinner we had last night! The pumpkins were a plenty, the conversation was deep, and the UNO cards were flying! Not only that, but we made great progress on my office.

They must have known I was coming, because…

Sweet and Savory Quinoa and Papaya Salad
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…
Mary, Mary, quite contrary, how does your garden grow?
Holy dirt. It’s 6pm on a Saturday and I’m absolutely pooped. But hey, look at the progress we’ve made in just over 24 hours! Friday My goal on Friday was to get most of our front garden sorted out. What I quickly learned is that gardening isn’t exactly thrilling. That is until you blare some…
