The bad side of perfection

Don’t let “perfect” be the enemy of “good”.  That’s one of my favorite phrases.  We could all do well to remember it, which is why I’m posting it here.  I get questions and comments all the time about foods that I show on the blog or use in recipes that are/are not FODMAPs friendly.  I’m not perfect.  I try to eat a low FODMAPs diet most of the time and I do pretty well with it, but I definitely eat things that I know are FODMAPs.  Sometimes they are things I know I hardly react… Read more >

Beyond Bacon

Kids, I think it’s safe to say I have turned into a (vegan) bacon-aholic. First there was coconut bacon.  Then I did the tempeh thing.  And now I’m on to eggplant.  If I haven’t convinced you to invest in liquid smoke yet, what the what are you waiting for?  [As much as I hate ending the sentence in a preposition, it doesn’t have the same punch when written grammatically correct.  Cool?] The tempeh was so good I made a double batch within the week.  Kyle still hasn’t tasted it.  I’m a pig.  <— bacon pun… Read more >

Savory & Sweet Flatbread options

Back to the flatbread! Are your tomato plants going bonkers yet?  Mine is just on the cusp of it.  So far, just a modest steady stream.  A handful or so every couple of days.  It’s cool though.  I got a late start planting my garden due to our move.  But I have neighbors and coworkers with gardens and they are hooking. it. up!   Remember when I was pregnant and wanted all things tomato?  To be clear, I’m not pregnant.  But I do think that the tomato cravings lingered around.  Same with my love affair… Read more >

Happy couple & happy goats weekend

Another weekend filled with outings and travel and showing off our little man!   Starting with a leisurely Friday. Since I finally polished off the last of the millionth loaf of banana bread I made, I decided to bake a new somethin’ somethin’.  More on the above [oatmeal caramel creation] later…   This is my new favorite meal.  It’s been on repeat, so don’t be surprised if you keep on seeing it. That’s an egg/avo combo on toasted Essential Baking Co bread with a side of veggies (tomatoes from my garden).   Look I finally… Read more >

Gluten Free Flatbread

Hey hey hey!  I made something!  And it took effort!  Hooray for kitchen fun. Ashley’s gluten free flatbread has been on my mind, but I didn’t have any of the same ingredients on hand…   Soooo… I did a little trial and error of my own…   The first attempt didn’t work out, but I was determined.   And trust me, it was worth it.  GF flatbread [vegetarian, gluten free, egg free, soy free] Ingredients: 1 1/4 cup oat flour (+ more for rolling) 1/3 cup tapioca flour/starch 1/4 cup brown rice flour 1 tbsp… Read more >
