While most of the country is celebrating Memorial Day, Joe and I will be packing boxes. We're moving next week so life is kind of hectic right now. Nate is fascinated with all the boxes, tape, and packing supplies. He likes to pull things out of the boxes faster than I can get them in.

I've decided to add a weekly post about interesting recipes, ideas, and tips for living well I've come across during the week. Lately I've been more active on Pinterest, and thought it would be fun to share some of my favorites with you. This week has been super hectic. We're moving in just two weeks.

I met Dreena through Maggie and Ricki. I must say I am so very grateful! Shortly after Nate was born and I started eating a very heavy plant-based diet. Not completely plant based, mind you. But I could just sense that my body needed lots of fresh, whole foods after giving birth to get itself

Even though I've been on a gluten-free, refined sugar-free diet for almost 10 years, when Nate and I both had to go dairy-free it threw me for a HUGE loop. Not only was I trying to feed myself, but I had to feed Nate nutritious food he would happily eat. Couple that with the fact

Today I've got a post up at Life Your Way – it's all about how to make your favorite desserts healthier. This is something we all need because, ladies and gents, it's summer and our clothes will show a lot more skin. Here's a sneak peak at what I have to say: Summer is right around

For those of you still sorting through recipes to plan your Mother's Day menu, I thought I'd share a quiche that has been a big hit at our house. I actually started toying with this recipe back in January. My intention was to serve it as a meat-free, dairy-free option for Nate's first birthday party.

I haven't talked much about what we're feeding Nate because, honestly, it's been a bit of a struggle. When he was 9 months old, we found out that we needed to cut all dairy out of his diet. And, since I have problems with wheat we're keeping him gluten-free until he's at least 18 months

I've been obsessed with lemon lately. Maybe it's because it's nearly summer. Or, maybe it's because I'm pregnant. Regardless, lemon just hits the spot. Since Nate was born, and especially since he started walking, I have less and less time for baking. There's always something else that HAS to be done. Washing diapers, picking up toys, folding...

If there was only one recipe you could make from my site, it should be this one. It's over-the-top incredible. Joe and I both loved every single last bite.

This is hands-down the best gluten-free pizza crust I've ever had. No joke. The crust tastes so much like the pizza I remember from my childhood that I actually started craving soda when I eating. It's just that good. When you take a bite of crust, you get that pizzeria chewy, bready bite. It's so

No, I'm not going raw. But, since I had to cut out dairy and choose to stay mostly soy-free I've found that some of the best dairy-free stand-ins are raw and nut-based. Thank goodness I can still eat nuts! Let's talk for a minute about where this recipe came from. I decided to make pasta

Coconut oil has worked it's way out of my kitchen and into my bathroom. It all started when I got pregnant with Nate and really started looking at what's in the products I was using on my skin. Most of them had to go. I needed a safe, all-natural solution. After trying many, many different

Aren't these naturally colored eggs brilliantly gorgeous?

I think all the food coloring gave

When I was a kid, I loved chocolate and mint. And, for some reason since I've been pregnant I find myself craving that old, familiar flavor pairing. It's great no matter how you make it – in mint chocolate chip ice cream, in hot chocolate with peppermint sticks, or in Thin Mint cookies. I decided

Healthy and truffles don’t sound like they should go in the same sentence, do they? When I think of truffles, my mind conjures up images of decadent, melt-away chocolately centers with an exterior crunch that is just enough to give some interesting textural contrast. But I most certainly don’t think healthy. I decided to change

I made this recipe for the first time for my birthday a few weeks ago.

I found the original recipe in Better Homes and Gardens. It was first published in the 1940′s, during The Great Depression. When the cake bakes, it separates into two layers,...
