When I was in high school, my math teacher made the most amazing pumpkin chocolate chip cookies. I asked her for the recipe, and when I made them with my mom, she said, “This looks more like a muffin recipe.” So we made muffins with it too. I’ve made them many times (both as muffins … Read more
Having an autoimmune disease can make you feel like you’re in a cage. You see other people “out there” doing all the things you want to do, but the pain or the brain fog or the exhaustion can make it impossible. This latte, on the other hand, makes me feel like a free bird. It’s … Read more
One of the hardest parts about a special diet like Paleo, Whole30, or the autoimmune protocol (AIP Paleo) is figuring out what to eat for breakfast. On the SAD (Standard American Diet), we’re used to grain in practically all of our breakfast foods. Cereal, muffins, pancakes, waffles, oatmeal, toaster pastries, doughnuts, bagels… So what’s a … Read more
Gotta say, I think this is the perfect Paleo brownie recipe. The brownies are cakey, with just the right amount of sweetness.

Aaaaah, smoothies. I don’t know many people who don’t love them. Our family has them every Sunday night for dinner–because Sundays are made for easy evenings, amiright? But recently I’ve been thinking we need some variety in our lives. Unless I’ve run out of a particular ingredient by Sunday, our smoothies nearly always include strawberries, … Read more
Over our more than 8 years of marriage, my husband and I have gone through several blenders. Our blender recipes started out fairly simple–just smoothies for breakfast several times a week while we were completing our computer science master’s program. But it’s only progressed from there. By now we might be blender addicts. We started … Read more
