Returning food to the sacred
I have been cooking up a storm in the kitchen, ever since I came off my cleanse. Trying out easy and casual dishes with a bit of a different twist has been my interest lately. Tacos are a favorite here, and I found a recipe for a salsa verde that really inspired me. These tacos […]
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 broke my cleanse yesterday and had a glorious Avocado. It was a bit of a jump really, but having hit an energy wall on the 11th day, I knew my body was ready to start getting some food in its system. Simplicity is a beautiful thing, and I’m savoring the things I love slowly. […]
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 […]

A slight chill made its full blown appearance the other day here on the mountain. It had been flirting with us here and there, but last week we had a solid week of chill in the air in honor of the Autumn Equinox. It was surprising good… Like a sweet old friend coming back from […]

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.
