Grain-Free Cupcakes and Frosting
I made these cupcakes about a year ago for the first time, and recently revisited the recipe, which was as good as I had remembered. Why I never posted it here is beyond me, because they are sinful and delicious, and worth sharing! Grain-free Chocolate Cupcakes: 1/2 cup coconut flour 1 tbs almond flour 1/2 … Read more
Chocolate Chia Pudding
Chia is all the rage right now, apparently. There are recipes galore for chia puddings out there, but I haven’t seen any that are smooth. Since the texture of chia seeds in a gelled liquid isn’t appealing to me, I thought I would try blasting them with some milk in the blender and making a … Read more
Almost Samoas Cookies
These little babies are packed with protein and very yummy. With a layer of caramel, they would be almost a dead-ringer for the Samoas cookies that the scouts sell (and incidentally, my favorites!) Very easy to make too. Almost-Samoas Cookies: (makes about 40) INGREDIENTS: 2 cups oatmeal, soaked overnight in filtered water and 1 tbs … Read more

Chocolate
Chocolate. It’s got caffeine, which is said to be evil, and I did test positive to caffeine sensitivity on the Meridian Stress Test, as did Goose. But chocolate is one of those things that is hard to give up. And it’s something that helps us get more Omega 3′s since I can make it myself … Read more
Thinking outside the slice (of bread)
Eggs. Yep, that’s right: eggs. Twig is sensitive to them (they upset his stomach,) but the rest of us can have them, and BOY HOWDY, are we having them! Scrambled, omelets, in hashes, whipped whites for cookies, in salads… the list goes on and on. I keep dreaming of things to do with them now. … Read more
