I’ve tried twice to convert my vanilla coconut cream and cherry berry coconut cream recipes into a chocolate version. The first attempt…was awful. Not sweet enough. Too much cocoa. But it had a great texture, so I knew there was hope! The second time… it was amazing (and then I replicated that version just to …

Side story: When I was in college, I babysat for the two cutest kids on the planet, Daniel and Elizabeth. Daniel was five, and Elizabeth was six. One afternoon, Elizabeth and I were girl-talking at the kitchen table while Daniel ran around the kitchen and living room in circles. She told me a story about …

How was your Wednesday? What’s for dinner? I had Matthew with me last night and today, and we had a lot of fun—I got absolutely nothing productive done (except a little work when he was asleep)! We did put together a lego alien spaceship (and then played alien invasion). We also played Rummikub with my …

I have been looking at a lot of recipes for coconut flour based baked goods on Pinterest lately. If you follow me there, you may have noticed that all I’ve pinned lately is food! I’ll admit I’ve tried a few things that did not turn out great, but that is bound to happen. I think …
I had so many things planned to make/eat today. But after breakfast, I realized there was no way I’d fit it all in. The thing about eating no grains and fewer carbs than the average person is that I’m full most of the time without eating large quantities of food. I decided I’d begin the …
I’m trying to fulfill my goal of making three new veggie recipes this week, and even though they’re only required to be new to me (not made up), I did make up a new one today. I think I can technically count this as two recipes (maybe even three), but I’ll only do that if …

Sometimes I set goals and then I forget about them, and never even take one tiny step toward reaching them. I can’t really explain this, but it just happens sometimes. On the other hand, sometimes I set goals and I have a one-track mind about reaching them (like that time I wrote 150 pages of …

I promised several people I’d post what I eat in a day on the elimination diet. I’ve hesitated for a couple reasons. First, my elimination diet should not be yours! I don’t want people to copy what I’m doing–I’ve chosen what to include and exclude during this adventure based on what I already know about …
In my house, we don’t really celebrate Valentine’s Day…well, we did sort of—by going out to lunch on Saturday (but we would have done that anyway). We joke that every day is Valentine’s Day in our house…and we’re just not really into the gift/commercial aspect of holidays. I am planning on buying a valentine gift …
Today I really wanted a cookie. First, I made vanilla kale chips, and they turned out ok—the original version was way better (I subbed in hemp seeds for cashews and erythritol for maple syrup…this made them just ok instead of amazing like the original recipe. Once I’m eating nuts again, I’ll re-post about the amazing …
