When I was at the Robert is Here fruitstand, I saw a new-to-me fruit called Sapodilla. Mistaking them for potatoes, I would have walked past had I not read the sign.  “Tastes like a pear with brown sugar!” What??? Yes, please! Brent and I ate most of them plain for dessert. Sapodillas are soft and creamy. They […]

Just because I can’t make cookies don’t eat many sweets around the holidays doesn’t mean I don’t indulge.   Oh no. This is one of my favorite indulgences.  Not just because it taste so good but it couldn’t be any easier to make.  Me procrastinate? Brent has been making this dip as an appetizer for […]

How to Make Whey, Cream Cheese, and Lacto-Fermented Beets. It’s not everyday you wake up and decide it would be a good day to start increasing your gut flora. A few days ago it was such a day and on that day I made whey. Move over Miss Muffet we got a new poet in […]

This past weekend we celebrated my oldest son’s birthday.   My sister and I made him a beautiful dilapidated limousine cake which I did not have one bite.  Thank you. Although I nearly had a nervous breakdown trying to ice it without licking my fingers.  Besides having severe anxiety over the fact that my son is now at the halfway […]

As you know, I try to stick to whole foods.  I do have one weakness…okay not true…I have A LOT of weakness but one that I don’t think I’m willing to give up…protein powder.  It’s just so darn convenient and it’s really easy to make things that tastes like treats.  For instance A Good Idea Pudding […]

I discovered this dip when I was making lasagna last week.  I couldn’t quit licking the spoon as I was putting the lasagna together. Think of that when you come to my house for dinner!  It’s an easy and yummy to make veggies less “veggie” tasting and it will help you stay in those “skinny” […]

I have a love hate relationship with Costco.  One one hand, they carry fantastic products, have a great return policy and serve yummy Kosher hotdogs.  On the other hand, it is always so crowded, too many products = sensory overload, and they serve gigantic fatty Kosher hotdogs.  This weekend I found these yummy little apple […]

This is not a recipe I made up. It’s more of an “idea” that I’ve heard buff fitness people make. The few times I’ve been eating my protein pudding outside of my home people have asked me what I’m eating. When I tell them they almost always say, “Oh that’s a good idea.” Which is […]
