Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp Notes: The fruit filling in this recipe can be varied depending on the season! I’ve made it with blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, peaches, plums, apples or pears. But this combo below is my favorite. Perfect served with vanilla or coconut milk ice cream, or in the morning for a little breakfast treat.  8 […]

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. Because both of these babies have the tiniest, shortest season when they’re fresh and perfect. Don’t get rhubarb FOMO. This is your warning. You all know it’s […]

So last week, I got a call that I’d never refuse. That Molly Moon’s ice cream needed a little winter recipe fun for their new take-home pints. And, would I be interested? I mean, come on. When life gives you beautiful, artisanal ice cream, you take it. Especially when it’s pumpkin clove season. So today, my […]

So, summer is pretty much made for ice cream. (Or, is it the other way around?) But if we’re being honest– most of us don’t do that great with it. You know. “Digestive” wise. Even for people who do relatively well with dairy in general, ice cream is –by far–the hardest form to digest. Aside […]

    Rice crispy treats were all the rage at my softball games growing up.  They might have been the reason I continued to play (this may not come as a big ol’ surprise but I was not the team’s MVP, or even close). It was either the after-game treats or the long socks with the […]

It’s been about 3 years since I’ve been gluten-free [the root-cause cure for my out-of-nowhere, un-curable-by-medication, hypothyroidism]. People always ask me if I miss it, with a very concerned look on their face. No. Never, actually, I say. Because to be honest, nothing will ever taste as good as being medication free. And like I’m […]

Truth: every homemade ice cream recipe I’ve ever seen gets me so excited. Don’t be shocked. Ice cream is a simple food. It has 5 ingredients max, when made well. And is one of the best parts about summer. I’m into it. Until I read the recipe. And pout. “Combine all ingredients in your ice […]

Disclaimer: Chia seed pudding used to sketch me out. I’d see pictures it of floating around the internet and it would make me feel weird inside. Too sketchy. Too far out on the healthy scale, even for me. I mean, to be fair, I’ve never been a pudding girl, even growing up. It was a […]

Tiny things are always better. They’re fascinating. And special. You may more attention to them. Which is good when we’re talking about eating cookies. Mindfulness is actually always a good thing when talking about what you’re eating. But even more so with desserts [and wine, and flour based stuff]. And even more so this time […]

Real food, made simply so you can love and enjoy better health. Simply, Real, Health. That’s the name of the game. My favorite game. This is one of those weeks where I started laughing to myself about my “recipe” of the week. That word seems to be a bit flattering. So much so that I […]

  I’ve had my eye on olive-oil cakes for a while. Fast definition: an Italian style side dish, usually made in a savory style without much sugar. You know. Interesting + different sounding. And therefore eye catching to me. Or maybe it’s just the word “cake” made with something healthier like olive oil (more likely […]

I’ve been holding out on this recipe for a little while. Mostly, not to be hypocritical. You see, “rolled oats” are one of the ingredients. And. Brace yourself people. “Rolled oats” are not technically a true whole food. They are just a tiny (and not the healthy) part of the true whole grain known as […]
