I’ve had one of those weeks. You know the one. The one where you find out your favorite dream might have died? The one where you get bad news and you don’t know how to take it? The one where you do something you regret and then try to change it by editing what you [...]
Cherry Chocolate Hazelnut Cookies
Just because grains are out of my diet, doesn’t mean I can’t have treats, right? It’s amazing. With a few simple ingredients, you can create something pretty special in the kitchen. And these little gems were gone in less than 24 hours in ours. You definitely need to grease your cookie sheet or put [...]

Having to, choosing to, wanting to be gluten free
I just finished eating a delectable gluten free waffle with maple syrup and blueberries. Yum. If I were my cat I would purr. But I’m not my cat, enough said there. The waffles reminded me of a friend’s post on facebook. She put a photo of Van’s gluten free waffles – the same kind I [...]
