August/September 2020

Hello, my friends! Happy OCTOBER and happy Autumn! As we’ve entered my absolute favorite season, I can feel myself coming home (despite our high temperatures still near 90 degrees). I’m letting go of things that no longer serve me, breathing deeper, and feeling more at peace. The morning sunlight creeping in invites me to cozy…

Peppermint Mocha Cookies

Where are my crispy cookie fans at??? Willow won’t be joining us at this cookie party because she claims these are too crispy for her…yet she will plow through those Simple Mills cookies like nothing, which are waaay crispier than these.

Grain-Free Peppermint Brownies

This time last year I shared a recipe for Triple Chocolate Peppermint Brownies and since they were a big hit, I wanted to challenge myself to see if I could recreate them to be closer to my current “diet.” I was going to try and make them AIP compliant, but since Willow isn’t the biggest…

RECIPE: Chocolate Muffins

Funny story about these muffins – I created this recipe months ago, but when I went to type up the blog post, my notes got all jumbled together and I couldn’t figure out which trial was the one. I stared at four separate pieces of paper with jotted measurements and couldn’t figure it out! I was…
