I can *never* get enough of summer. The extra sunshine. The longer days. The beach trips. The walks with flowers blooming all around. The bustling trips to the farmer’s market. The FOOD. Oh, the food. That alone makes me giddy once we start inching away from the soggy spring in the PNW and getting closer […]

Ooookay, who else is on a wild baking spree these days??? *raises hand aggressively* I mean, if we’re doing lower maintenance holidays (aka, less travel, less people, less pressure) then we might as well use this time to get extra-cozy at home. For me? That means lighting all the natty beeswax candlesticks (unless it’s this […]

I don’t know about where you are, but around here temps are quickly cooling off and the end-of-year feels are starting to ramp up… big time. Throw in another BIG full moon this weekend (on Halloween), followed by Daylight Savings, plus (not to mention) an absolutely crazy upcoming election…. and I’m guessing we’re all feeling […]

This recipe is based on the gf pumpkin spiced doughnut recipe in the Simply Real Eating Cookbook, but using what we had (and with me swapping a few things just because I wanted to play around). It came out great— more like a snacking bread vs a super sweet pastry bread. Ingredients: 1 can pumpkin […]

The Best Gluten Free Summer Peach Crumble Makes 4-6 servings Notes: The fruit filling in this recipe can be varied depending on the season. I’ve made it with peaches, plums, apples, pears, and  all types of berries (strawberries, blueberries and blackberries), or different combinations of the two, depending on what ripe fruit you have on […]

Weekend rituals right now include: walks, sunshine, simple self-care, reading, cooking. Oh, so much cooking– Ok, I do love that.  Anyone else? Every weekend (quarantine or not), I usually make us a little healthy treat– it’s so soothing and relaxing for me to use my hands to create something out of nothing, without time pressure. […]

One thing I’ve been soaking in with all this time at home and less grocery orders at the moment = the creativity and tenacity it takes to put meals together these days. Each day is like a choose your own adventure game, pantry staple style. I don’t know about you, but this challenge has actually […]

You have been warned. I’ve made a few batches so far (“recipe testing” and just making extra certain they’re real, real good for […]
