Turmeric Pecan Banana Bread
I hate making returns. There’s almost always some sort of “complication” that makes returning items an absolute nightmare. My solution? Never buy anything ever again. At least that’s the mindset I’m having today. Some of my favorite memories from working at a grocery store where when customers would try to return items. First of all,…
Mother Lode Cookies
I’ve been off social media for three weeks! I don’t care how lame this sounds but it’s honestly been a struggle at times. I’d have a quiet moment or standing in line and I’d literally get fidgity with my hands. Like I needed something to do or redirect my attention. How intense is that? I…
Thick Paleo Blueberry Pancakes
Pancake Saturday is now officially a thing in my house. I think I’ve kept a streak going for about 6 weeks now. Each Saturday has been different as I’ve toyed around with buckwheat, vegan, plantains, bananas, even chia seed versions! These are the classic blueberry variety. No shame in keeping it simple. The simple recipes are the…

Banana Blueberry Bread
Here I am again! 6 weeks postpartum which I guess is some magical time when my body is *mostly* recovered and things should start to normalize in newborn-land. Well, I’m not sure what normal looks like anymore but I definitely feel like I’m getting in the swing of things. Can’t say for sure that I feel…
Fig Brownie Bites
This probably goes without saying, but it’s incredibly difficult to do anything with a newborn in the house. I was also incredibly naive to think that I could get anything done while he is sleeping. Why? Because I can only do things that don’t make NOISE. Cooking… makes noise. Baking… makes noise. Sweeping up the back yard……

Links I Love 6.0
Been a little uninspired lately when it comes to new recipes… so I thought I’d share some inspiring links! First up. Almond flour… the good vs. the bad. You decide. “I don’t think almond flour is a terrible flour. And I don’t think coconut is a better choice (not that I think you should avoid…
Chewy Paleo Brownies
These brownies are God’s gift to paleo desserts. Honestly, I have such a hard time finding legitimately healthy sweet treats under the moniker of “paleo”. Granted, I have been a contributor to the paleo-faileo desserts. One’s which contain honey, raw sugar, honey, maple syrup, coconut sugar, etc. Don’t get me wrong… I love sweet paleo…
