It was cold again this morning, so Hestia got to wear her Empress coat on our walk! It kept her warm enough so that she didn’t complain and try to head home early. Plus she looked super stylish! Maybe tomorrow we’ll show off one of her other winter coats, so […]
I made a really tasty mushroom stuffing for dinner tonight! I got the recipe from https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/13670/mushroom-stuffing/ but I made a few changes based on the comments on the recipe. I used gluten free bread cubes instead of bread crumbs, increased the broth to 3 cups, and added an extra half […]
This morning when we left for the grocery store, it was very very cold! It was only 32 degrees F! There was frost on my windshield even. That’s about 10 degrees colder than the coldest night this season so far! So I decided it was time to break out Hestia’s […]
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!). Â 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 […]
