Whole30: Day 9

By on April 14, 2014 in Appetizers, Whole30

My allergies continue to evaporate as I proceed into week two.  At this point in my life I have some incredibly powerful correlative evidence that, at best, wheat greatly exacerbates my allergies.  It’s remarkable how much difference a week has made.  Knowing this makes me wonder why I ever think it is o.k. to eat […]

Whole30: Day 2

By on April 7, 2014 in Breakfast and Brunch, Paleo and Primal, Whole30

OK, day two and I have already had my first mishap.  Details later.  For breakfast I had a bowl of sliced strawberries topped with some chopped macadamias, coconut flakes, and a sprinkle of raw cacao nibs.  It elevated the tasteless strawberries quite a bit.  I had my usual green tea with breakfast. I also sampled […]

This has been an unusually dreary Colorado winter, and I am really missing the typical sunny days.  This is the first winter here that I have experienced some seasonal affective disorder (it happened every winter when I lived in the U.P.), so I am looking forward to longer days and more sunshine.  Today I had […]

Black Walnut Tassies (grain free)

By on December 22, 2013 in Desserts & Baked Goods, Grain or Gluten Free, Holidays

Well I caved and had to do one more sweet for the season.  I’m going to blame my cooking friend Lucy, over at A Cook and Her Books, for posting her Macadamia-Rum Tassies.  They looked irresistible, so I promptly started working on a grain-free version.  It took a few batches (yeah, we have been eating […]
