A few weeks ago, we met my cousin and his family for brunch at this adorable kiddo friendly farm to table restaurant in Los Altos. In fact, the woman who started the restaurant is Mary from Five Mary's Farm. If you haven't checked her and her amazing family out, you should. She's one of my [...]
This year is off to a crazy, albeit awesome, start, and I am taking my clean eating with me. Busy days are no excuse to let food quality go to the wayside. In fact, the busier life gets, the more important it is to eat nutrient dense foods because they keep energy levels high, mood [...]
So I have posted a few Instagram photos of my new favorite breakfast item. But if you've missed those posts, I am here now to tell you guys all about Good N Raw granola (and kale chips) and why I've started enjoying a bowl of this stuff pretty much every morning. PLUS, I'm offering a [...]
So it might be official: the BEST waffles I have ever eaten, paleo or otherwise. And even better? My husband agrees. And he is a breakfast connoisseur. The guy knows his breakfast, and he is not messing around when he says that these make the list of the top 3 ever waffles he's EVER had. Woah. [...]
Ever heard of a tigernut? No, it's not made from tiger genitalia (I thought I would get that out of the way from the start). And no, it's actually not even a nut! TigerNuts are actually tubers, another radical root that has stolen my heart and my tastebuds. Even cooler? Tigernuts actually comprised up to 80% of [...]
MY husband and I have gotten really good at a once a week shopping trip to farmers market that lasts us the whole week. Usually, Friday and Saturday turn out some pretty awesome, creative meals as we work to use up whatever is left before our Sunday trip. Soups turn to sauces, meals might look [...]
I love waffles. A lot. But since changing my diet and figuring out what works for me, I really don't love the way I feel when I have a breakfast that's loaded with sugar. My little sister left today for 5 months in Italy. I told her that her last two meals before she left [...]
Pancakes... oh how I love pancakes. There was a time, after realizing how severe my intolerance was to certain foods, when I thought I would never get to enjoy pancakes again. I tried all kinds of "paleo" pancakes and would always end up feeling bloated, heavy, and uncomfortable from loads of almond flour and a tummy [...]
I think it is a tragedy that every holiday season, globs of delicious cranberry sauce are thrown wastefully into the garbage. Cranberry sauce is one of those feast accompaniments that no one really knows what to do with once the meal is over and the leftovers are consumed. But that is all about to change. Put [...]
I don't know about you guys, but sometimes, I Just. Want. Cereal. Especially crunchy, delicious granola. This is coming from a girl who literally lived off of granola in college. I had it in yogurt with fresh berries in the warm months (and because I went to Cal Poly, that means about 10 months of [...]
