Just whipped up these awesome peppermint carob balls! They are vegan, gluten free, and paleo. They are really easy to make and very tasty! I got the recipe from https://www.unconventionalbaker.com/recipes/gluten-free-vegan-chocolate-peppermint-candy-cane-balls/ and made a few changes. I used carob powder in the main mix instead of cocoa powder since Brad is […]
Last week a SC public radio reporter interviewed me about how I’m coping with the pandemic (spoiler alert: it’s well!). The radio story along with a text article (they are different from each other, so view both of them!) came out today. I am really really happy with both […]
Yummmmmy! Today I made paleo apple pie bars with caramel sauce. It is my second time making the recipe—the first time I used peanut butter in place of almond butter and wasn’t sure if the recipe was a keeper or not. Today I used almond butter and boy is it […]
Another really good dish! I needed some tweaking of the recipe. Maybe my vegetables were really big, so there wasn’t enough of the sauce for me. I had to add more salt and maple syrup. Brad added more salt, pepper, and maple syrup. I also had to roast the veggies […]
I had a pretty difficult afternoon today, and needed something special to bring brightness to my day. So it was time for a banana milk smoothie! This is similar to a banana milkshake, only no ice cream and a little thinner. Here is a picture of the banana milk, which […]
I’ve been looking for quart mason jars for a month or so now. I think with the pandemic, people are more into cooking and canning, so they’ve been out of stock almost everywhere! Normally mason jars cost about $12 for a dozen. But they had them on amazon for $50 […]
Last night I made these deconstructed cabbage rolls in the crock pot. They were very tasty! If you haven’t had cabbage rolls before, they are ground meat with spices rolled in cabbage leaves topped with tomato sauce. But it takes a lot of work to wrap them in individual cabbage […]
I just made a really really simple and very tasty paleo bread that uses cashews and a touch of coconut flour. I got the recipe from https://www.laurafuentes.com/paleo-bread-for-sandwiches/. Below are a couple of pictures of the bread, which is a smaller loaf, brown and very shiny. Below that is the recipe. […]
Today was our biweekly trip to the grocery store. Hestia is so good at the grocery stores now, even though we really only work her once every two weeks. I’m very happy that she hasn’t forgotten the basics, and in fact seems to be getting a bit more solid on […]
