A couple of years ago I stopped eating gluten, (added) sugar and dairy. Not because I had an allergy or sensitivity but because I needed a total body re-set after a terrible diagnosis of Strep throat which developed into a year of misery. Removing all inflammatory foods from my diet for that first year made […]
Breakfast
Morning Coffee
I’ve found my new favorite thing and it is a Mason Shaker by W&P. We love mason jars for all sorts of things at our house and as a cocktail * coffee * smoothie shaker? Yes please. It all started years ago when I first met my husband who was finishing up his career with […]
Purple Barley Pancakes
Our family is BIG on pancakes. We have a designated pancake mixing bowl. When the kids see it on the counter they get very excited. I’m glad about that because as a child pancakes were my very favorite and so to know that they find them equally special makes the breakfast cook in me very […]

It has made mornings easier and the dreaded what’s for dinner conversation a breeze. Three things have made this a success in our […]
Making Butter at Home
This past Christmas we were given a Kilner butter churner. If you are looking for a super quality butter you need to try this. Easy in terms of ingredients, but requiring a lot of muscle and determination- before long you will have home made butter and a slight feeling of pride that you can really […]
