Returning food to the sacred
We continue to make pizzas in this house as if they were going out of style. Having the Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free Pizza Mix makes it easy and when hit with low grocery inventory in the refrigerator, it also seems to be an easy fix. Yes… I did just use the words ‘grocery inventory’. […]
I swear, I can eat broccoli everyday for the rest of my life if I could. Not sure what it is, but I have always loved it, and finding new ways to eat it is quite fun. This Cranberry Broccoli Salad is a adaptation from a recipe I found eons ago. I don’t even remember […]
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 […]

This is one of the meals I made for myself towards the end of my stay in Maui. Determined to keep grilling, I dug through the refrigerator and tried to gather what was left. I love when I’m running low on food and still, something delicious can come out of it. I was introduced to […]
Oh my lovelies… There are no words to describe the heaven contained in each of these truffles. None. But I do think that so much of my time in Maui and the sensations evoked here are contained in what happens within me when I eat one of these. I was fortunate enough to participate in […]
