So, it’s been a little crazy over here, but hey, so is normal life right? Totes. I define “crazy”, when even I “modify” (laz-ify) one of my recipes from the cookbook, that’s easy to begin with. A weird way to measure life, but it’s always true. The shortcut to the shortcut. Sign this girl up. […]

Just in case your instagram feed needs some more strawberries. Or rhubarb. Or, ways to make them healthier than the classic version (PIE). Take this as a sign.

It was crunchy and refreshing, and always so fresh feeling, compared to that saucy stuff. Although, to be honest, it’s been a few years since I’ve been […]

It’s also one of the things that I used to kind of dread, because I was so compartmental about my healthy living. Normal days = super good, super clean, kinda crazy lady who wouldn’t drink a […]

This sun has been making me do crazy things. Like make tropical cookies while Jack Johnson’s words float around my kitchen like happy little sunshine fairies. Wearing hula skirts. Welcome to my thoughts.  So, when those said cookies turn out to be soo good, but also great for you (as far as cookies go), you let those fairies […]

Just a little note to tell you that you need this banana bread in your life. For this weekend’s brunch, let’s say.  It’s one of my very favorites from the cookbook. And, this past Sunday as I was stirring away getting ready for a little friends brunch we were hosting, I was caught off-guard for a […]
