Returning food to the sacred
For me, Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free Pizza Crust Mix is the best thing since sliced bread! Pizza was one of the things I desperately hated denying myself when I first found out I was gluten intolerant. Can you imagine a life without pizza?! Clearly, this was long before I knew of all the gluten […]
I’ve talked about comfort food before. Its always tied into cozy, rich, sometimes heavy foods. Often, its an unhealthy dish that can be used to stuff emotions or fill in a boredom gap. I don’t think it needs to be that way, and I love the idea of tapping into the warming side of what […]
What exactly makes certain dishes ‘comfort food’? Have you ever wondered? I mean, we’ve certainly heard it applied to unhealthful snacks, like a bag of potato chips, or a big vat of mac and cheese, but underneath the health content of the food, there is something more.

We are leaving for our Summer away in Maui tomorrow. And as you can imagine, I have been on a quest to go through all the perishables in the refrigerator before we leave. This is definitely a place of challenge for me. I know many who can look at what is left in their pantry […]
This little dish is quick and easy to throw together! I couldn’t continue the second part of this 2 post series without giving you a little bit of food porn and an easy meal. In many ways, the food I’ve included in both of these posts is a way to balance the heaviness of the […]
A couple of days ago, Jon and I drove down the mountain into another town to visit Henry’s for our big grocery run. I was fresh out of ideas for what to put together for our weekly dinner and Jamie Oliver TV night with our neighbor’s, Pat and Anne. So as Jon and I were […]
Since going gluten free, and having ZERO baking skills, one of the things I have missed horribly is pizza. P i z z a. Oi… just thinking about it makes me sigh. I was never a huge pizza eater, but you know how it is, every once in a while you just get a craving […]
