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 […]

DECEMBER, mmmmmmm hmmmmm. The coziest of them all. Which says a lot for a year that’s required lots of being cozy at home. 🙂 There’s still so much to celebrate– even if it’s just making it to the end of the year! On top of that…. I’m paying extra attention to the small things more […]

Woooo. Welcome. to. December! Can you believe we’re actually….. here?? It’s a little mind blowing after such a spinny, wacky, LONG year, but I am so, so grateful. Not just for the end of 2020 being here (… hi, all of us). But also for the messes and challenges and beautiful awakenings and change that […]

Simply Real Health Holiday Gift Guide 2020 Ooooh, what a year, what a year! If there’s one thing 2020 has shown me, it’s to find ways to celebrate the small things. The mini delights.

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 […]

Fall is {officially} here and I can feel it in my bones. The light is shifting ever so slightly. My afternoon tea is warm instead of iced. And the first soup of the season happened earlier this week. If the calendar didn’t already say so, then the shifts in our rituals, routines & kitchens have […]

I had to wait until the weather actually turned, you know? And that it was official on that calendar (as of this week). To finally admit that Fall is here. To finally make that shift into the cozy, earlier eves, to cooking again, and actually enjoying the process (without the “stress” of doing so outdoors, […]

I GOTTA SAY….. the name of the game in 2020 has been efficiency. Now maaaaaybe more than ever, even. And I don’t just mean efficiency in that way of “get more work done in less time with more ease and less stress” kinda thing. (Though, I’ve had my moments with that kind of efficiency FOR […]
