• Why I Took the MRT (Mediator Release Test) and a Health Update

    Tuesday, April 21, 2015

    Hey! Hi. I forgot how much I love writing in this space. I’ve taken quite the hiatus from blogging (#noregrets) but so much has happened in my journey to healing that I felt like I needed to write it all down. Get it out of my head and make sense of it, you know? Let’s […]

  • Healthier Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Giants

    Friday, October 10, 2014

    Hold on to your hats, people! I actually captured a photograph of something edible. Something delicious. Something for YOU! You guys, I have to confess that I have been mentally opposed to #pumpkiningallthethings this season. It could be because I took a beach vacation at the end of September, or maybe because the food industry […]

  • Gloria.

    Wednesday, July 23, 2014

    This girl! Gloria Katherine (after her grandma) came on the scene at 1:37PM on May 30. Easiest labor yet for me- after a morning chiropractor visit and a quick stop for a cheeseburger, we got to the birth center and she was born within the hour. We have been soaking up all the baby sweetness […]

Grain-Free Fat Almond Pancake

A few weeks ago, I pinned this Fat Almond Pancake from Green Kitchen Stories and I knew I had to make one. (Definitely check out their blog, it’s gorgeous!) The original recipe wasn’t exactly grain-free, but I knew I could do some tweaking and make easily make it GAPS-friendly. I just loved the look and ease […]

Coffee Cake (Grain-Free, Paleo, GAPS)

The scene in my kitchen at 6:30AM this morning: Two half-dressed kids are clamoring at my feet for their milk cups to be filled. Three-year-old Elliott climbs up into the helper tower, discovers the pan of coffee cake and yells, “LUCY! CAKE FOR BREAKFAST!” She squeals and nods her head to tell us she’s on […]

Baked Eggs with Spinach and Bacon

We like eggs. You might already know that. (The backyard chickens are a dead giveaway, no?) Since we’re moving, we said our goodbyes to the chickies a few weeks ago and they moved in with our friends across town. We no longer have eggs 24/7, which feels really weird. And it means I have to BUY […]

Hazelnut Fig Bars

  I’m in limbo. We are moving soon (just two months away..). It’s soon enough that I’m starting to get sad/nostalgic/motivated to start fresh/etc; but not soon enough that I can actually do anything about it. It’s too soon to start packing, too soon for goodbyes. I want to soak up the last bit of […]

Quick Blackberry Thyme Lemonade

So, I’m planning to bombard you with a whole bunch of drink recipes this week. Is that cool? I had some time without the kids and I got carried away with my experimentation (it looked like the produce section of the grocery store blew up in my kitchen). All of the drinks turned out to […]

I’d like to introduce you to your new favorite drink of Summer 2013: the Sweet Sunset Cooler. I am all about this drink! It really surprised me.

This is the last post in my five-part series chronicling my journey through the GAPS Intro Diet. So I am officially done with GAPS Intro! I have been for about a week or so, but I haven’t gotten time to sit down and gather my thoughts about the whole thing. I have actually sat down […]

A Little GAPS Real Talk and Friday Links

I am feeling a little bit stuck with the GAPS Intro diet this week. I need to vent about it. Just a little, if that’s okay. I was making great progress until a few days ago. I had no trouble introducing new foods and my symptoms were mostly gone. I was feeling good, feeling ready […]
