This post is in honor of my favorite human on this planet. If you didn't know already, that's Rusty (my husband). I try to keep him out of the limelight, as he's a bit of an introvert, but this post (and this recipe) are for him. When we moved out of the rapidly growing, fast-paced [...]
Pumpkin pie easily makes my top ten favorite desserts list. It's so good, in fact, that I've decided to make a whole new dessert inspired by this favorite. This past month we had a group of friends over to hangout. We provided a variety of nibbles but no sit down meal. I wanted to make [...]
Since moving to the Pacific Northwest, we've had the opportunity to pick and enjoy some of the best berries I've ever had, right in our own neighborhood and sometimes, right outside our door. Blackberries are especially prevalent right now, and we've truly enjoyed the abundance. The bounty of berries has been my inspiration for all kinds [...]
After the great response I got from posting a photo of this tart on Instagram last night, I knew I shouldn't hesitate on getting the recipe posted for you guys. The inspiration for this recipe came to me after buying far too much rhubarb at farmers market because sometimes too much of a good thing [...]
KEEP READING FOR A GIVEAWAY OF MY FAVORITE GHEE! Today is the Solstice, which means it's the longest day of the year, and summer is officially upon us. What better way to celebrate than with a delicious summer dessert? With summer comes all the best fruit, and everywhere I look I see fresh, beautiful berries just waiting [...]
Memorial Day is here, which means that summer is coming, and I am a happy camper. Sunshine, summertime, huge changes coming our way, and a WHOLE new crop of amazing fruit at farmers market. Nothing says summer like fresh blueberries, bursting with flavor, or biting into a sweet, juicy peach. These two fruits are a [...]
Brownies, oh brownies, how I love brownies. You know what else I love (something that I haven't written much about recently, but practice every single day)? CrossFit and movement in general, really. Nutrition is the basis of health, yes, but movement, well that's what makes us human. It's something we all share a need for, [...]
It's about time I posted another dessert recipe... at least that's what my husband argued when it came time for some fresh recipe testing. Sometimes a splurge is necessary, and in cases like this, I would much rather enjoy a treat that's not filled with processed sugars, flours, and crap oils. That's why I keep [...]
I want to start by taking a quick bit of this post to say MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY HOLIDAYS to all of my readers. I am so thankful for every single one of you, and I am so in awe of where this blog has gone and (hopefully) will continue to go in 2015. Thanks [...]
It's that time of year. The time of year when you can't walk down the street without seeing a persimmon tree or squishing one of the overly ripe fruits under your shoe. My dogs particularly love this time of year and tend to go persimmon crazy whenever we walk under a tree. You'd think we never [...]
