Where I’m at

I know I posted two (!!) recipes this week, but I don’t have much else to share because I’ve been struggling with my diet. For some reason, my gut has been completely set on working against me this week.  I’m not sure if I’m all the way through it, but I just wanted to let you guys in on where I am right now.  Apparently my IBS is not always under control (even though it’s been a loooong time since it’s been this bad).  I don’t know what precipitated this reaction.  I have had cramping… Read more >

Seedy bread

I have something for you! A while back I bookmarked this seedy loaf (as well as the cookbook it came from) and have been waiting for the mood to strike.  Because I bake gluten free most of the time, I think it’s important to branch out from the usual all purpose mixes to get more grain diversity.

Cooking the Cover

Kru with my crew

Ok the only reason I’m even bothering to back up to last week is because I had a foodie dinner date with some peeps and I have to share the pics. I kinda knew two of the girls peripherally – through either MOPS or stroller strides – but the dinner actually came about really because we all know one of the girls.  And she knows each of us as some one who likes dining at amazing restaurants.  So a month ago she assembled this all star foodie crew and scheduled a date for us to… Read more >
