Very vanilla buttah

I’ve been holding out on you.  I have made two things this past week that were (are) VERY worth sharing.  If you like vanilla, this recipe is for you.  It is very very vanilla-y.    If you can even call this a recipe, here it is: Ingredients 2 cups soaked raw cashew nuts (the dry nuts were ~1.3 cups prior to being soaked) 1 tsp vanilla paste (I used this kind, but vanilla extract would work too) 3-4 drops NuNatural’s vanilla stevia 2 tbsp water * Directions Soak nuts overnight (or longer), drain and blend… Read more >

Luxxe Friday

This week has been truly perfect.  Much needed after last week’s sh!t storm of crazy.  Friday couldn’t have been a more amazing end to the week either. Kyle has Fridays off, so we both got to sleep in.  Brilliant start already.  Then we found out his waffle company made it to the finals – open to the public (on May 26th) if you want to attend.  Winner gets investors and money and a bunch of press, so this is HUGE.  While Kyle had a quick conference call I went on a short run (showered); and… Read more >

Easter reflections

Last year I don’t know what I was doing on Easter, but it was likely something indoors and snow avoidant.  This year I was hoping for a more cheery holiday. Not quite what I got.  Let me rephrase: not at ALL what I got. It took me a while to write this because I think I was (am) still in shock about the whole thing, even days after Easter Sunday.  What I do remember is feeling like I was having an out of body experience.  At several points I thought is this really happening?  Like,… Read more >

Maiden loaf

There’s nothing like a new food appliance to get you excited and inspired in the kitchen. After years of ooing and aahing over home-made breads, I finally made the plunge and got what I was lusting after.  I did a fair amount of research prior to buying one.  I wanted a reliable machine, but I didn’t wanna blow my bank account on some fancy schmancy professional breadmaker.  I’m not going on Top Chef any time soon after all. And so I settled on the Sunbeam 2 lb. Breadmaker – model 5981.  My maiden loaf was… Read more >

Intuition

You may have noticed that I took some time off from blogging this week.  Many people turn to rules and the likes to get back on track, but I prefer the opposite.  Personally, I equate rules with restrictions, and I’m not ok with that.  If that works for you, great.  For me, it’s just unhealthy.  Instead, I go the opposite route, listening (and I mean, really paying attention) to my body for guidance.  I think that being an intuitive eater is extra difficult if you have a food blog because it just increases the amount… Read more >
