If you’re like me, you’d like to keep as much processed junk away as possible. Sometimes it can be harder than you think. A fun solution for sweet treats can be to make your own candy. Not only are these slimy and sour homemade gummy worms super-duper easy to make, they are made with only three real food ingredients. Kids …
One of my intentions for 2016 is to try to really focus on having almost everything that I consume be grown locally. My husband is on board as well (after we drafted up a list of list of a few nonnegotiable items like coffee. And, chocolate). Together, we have taken lots of baby steps towards local food over the last …
This Machine Changed My Life My husband recently surprised with with a beautiful red Vitamix Creations GC. It was love at first sight (…for both my hubby & the Vitamix). 😉 I use my new machine at least once a day, sometimes 2-3 times. This is NOT your average blender, at all. For example, your Vitamix will not leak. In fact, …
When my son was in the NICU, just a mere 24 hours after he was born, I heard the doctors tell me he had “acute hydronephrosis and kidney failure.” I had no idea what hydronephrosis meant, but I could assume kidney failure was tragic.

We love bread in this house. Like, love it. Like…really, really, really love it. Lucky for my husband (and son…and me), I realized that in order for us to continue eating bread, I had to learn to make it. This recipe has quickly become a favorite in our home. It is rich, tender, packed full of flavor (and never mind the fact that …
For my loyal readers, you know that I just love chocolate (you may remember learning this in my Quinoa Carob Mini Loaves recipe). For my new or not so loyal readers, you may not know my love. Well, it’s pretty simple…I love it. I crave it. I need it in my life. When I found out that I needed to …
If you come here a lot, you may have noticed that lately I’ve been a bit more scattered and random than normal in my blog topics. There are a few reasons for this:
What kid didn’t play with playdough growing up? I remember opening up a brand new tub of playdough and squishing it, rolling it, and molding it for hours on end. Growing up, I never thought about the ingredients that are used to make store bought playdough, I just new I loved the colorful stuff. However, once I became an adult …
