I’ve been experimenting in the kitchen again. Sometimes it goes badly, but this time it went well. Really, really well.

I’m ready for his fever and congestion to vacate… Read More Early Mornings and Make-Ahead Individual Oatmeal Servings

I looked at it for a minute, realized that it was getting awfully close to spoiling, and decided to turn it into rolls. Because, of course, the first thing one thinks when looking at kumara is, “Hey…… Read More Kumara (Potato) Rolls
I give up. I wave the white flag of surrender. This cold virus has me beaten. I’ve tried just about every remedy – homemade and otherwise – and none of them give me much relief.

I’ve seen the recipe for chocolate avocado mousse floating around for the last few months. I even considered making it when I was doing my “30 Days, No Processed Sugar” challenge, but the thought of mixing avo + chocolate put me off.
