For the past few days, my friend Jena and I have been experimenting with some recipes using coconut flour and almond flour—for recipes she can use with her kids. Kids are the toughest crowd usually—they don’t just judge based on if something tastes good, but they also judge based on if it’s different than what …

Today was another beautiful day in South Carolina…The trees on James Island are amazing—canopies over the streets. There is so much sun and also filtered light through the trees. We did a lot today–but not really much that was productive. (I mean, I did a few hours of work in the morning and randomly throughout …
I meant to set aside some time and write an informative post yesterday or today–and maybe I’ll have time later–but I’m caught up in things with my friend and her kids (I didn’t know they were going to be on spring break this week from school/work—I thought I’d be alone working all morning everyday), and …
My Easter was great–and I even tried a new recipe. I’m going to share the cake recipe, but not one of the frosting recipes because I don’t think it’s quite perfected yet! I do think these cupcakes turned out the best of any I’ve made yet, which is crazy because I made them up on …
Since I made the peanut butter cheesecake brownies this past week, I’ve been dreaming about more things I could do with the topping part of it. Honestly, I didn’t frost the whole batch of brownies, so I had some of the pb cheesecake stuff leftover…and I ate it the next day. After being refrigerated (the …

Today was fantastic! Well, the greatness actually started last night—Matthew got here a little after 8pm, and we had a slumber party in the living room. He was a good sport and watched Little House on the Prairie with me, and then we chatted and went to sleep (well, he did…I was wide awake—since I …

It’s Thurrrrsday! This week feels funny to me because I haven’t exercised or been active at all, and I keep checking in with myself to make sure that I really can’t yet, and am not just using my wounds as an excuse (so far, I’m not). I know, you know…I have stitches. I’m still in …

It’s one of those weeks when I thought I was going to have a lot of free time, and it is turning out not to be that way! I’m getting ready for a trip to SC for next week, and grading final projects for one class, along with all of my regular duties. I found …
The Double Peanut Butter Chocolate Cups I made last week were so good, I kept thinking I should come up with a variation. Truthfully, the first attempt was horrible. So I trashed it and tried again. The second attempt led me to these pb&j cups, and later I came up with a neopolitan version… The …
Let’s keep things lighter today! I intended to post a different recipe (pb&j cups—think of my version of Reece’s pb cups, but instead of chocolate, I used berry superfood powder and adjusted the stevia—it tastes just like pb&j, only it’s low in carbs and sugar!). That will have to come later–my iCloud keeps getting “stuck”…does …
