Going back to the old school “what I ate in a day” style posting for the day because I took photos of it all!  And why not! First things first, iced coffee.  I use the previous day’s (leftover) coffee and add coconut sugar (melted in warm water) and almond milk.  Then I toss in some ice and hit the road.  Off on a walk with my little man.  We have a few different route options but his favorite, of course, is the one that passes the farms with a horse and goats.  They are a few blocks apart,… Read more >

I discovered True Story sausages at Costco right after we re-introduced meat into our diet and thought they sounded like a great company with some great products.
