It’s not that I’m admitting that I’m tired… but I do sometimes need an extra boost in the morning. I’m not drinking coffee because I’m doing an elimination diet to figure out E’s eczema (long story—for a different day), and weeks like this one where he is getting 4 new teeth at once cause me …
These start out kind of like macaroons you’d find in the raw food world. I’ve made versions of them before, but the coconut flakes are so tiny and they have a more chewy feel—so I think they’re more like truffles. Especially if you dip them in chocolate. I kept asking Dave if I should drizzle …
I needed to share this recipe ASAP—it’s the fluffiest yummiest coconut flour recipe I’ve come up with, and I still can hardly believe it turned out so well! I actually began with this recipe, based on a recommendation from my friend Alison. She posted that she made it and it wasn’t a brick like many …
It has been a while since I’ve made anything with coconut flakes… even though they’re one of my favorite ingredients. A few weeks ago it was my friend Alejandro’s birthday, and I had no idea what to buy him… so I made up a new recipe in his honor. He’s really into crossfit and the …
I’m no stranger to making pb cups at home. In fact, I feel like I invented them because I make them for all people and all occasions… and whenever a “new” person tries them, I’m reminded of how amazing (and easy) they are. I often eat them for breakfast (with coffee), and they can be …
If you know me, you know I love coconut oil frosting for breakfast. I haven’t been extremely consistent with it during pregnancy, but in normal life it is a staple in my diet (with coffee!). I love the smooth combo and the energy boost it gives me, all while making me feel full and satisfied …

I’ve been making coconut cream mousse for a long time, and it’s definitely one of my favorite things. I used to make it with a high quality protein powder added (which somehow made it the absolute perfect texture), and now I’ve gotten away from using protein powders so I found an alternate method that is …
Fermented foods are way less common in our society today than they were even a hundred years ago. People like Laura Ingalls most likely grew up eating a bit of fermented foods at each meal, often served like a sort of condiment (not a main dish). It was necessary to preserve foods in those days …
I am totally in a food rut. It’s super frustrating, and I’m probably just being a whiny pregnant lady, but this week I felt very aimless about food with NO CLUE what to make for dinner. I’m bored. I’m tired. I’m spoiled because Whole Foods is right down the street—but we’re moving next weekend and …

Have you tried bulletproof coffee yet?! If not, you should. You really really should. It’s amazing. My husband and I usually start talking about it at night when we go to bed—about how we can’t wait to have coffee in the morning. I’m currently drinking decaf since I’m pregnant, so I can really attest to …
