Yep. It’s October, but I’m squeezing in one more peach recipe before they are gone for the year. As quickly as peach season arrives, it also ends. Sad, sad, sad. I was horribly disappointed to find the local farm I have been visiting sold out of my favorite variety of peaches within just a few […]

Turmeric Beet Juice Recipe
Oh, boy! Have I got a kickin’ juice recipe for you! It’s been awhile since I shared a fresh juice recipe with you. I go back and forth between fresh juice and smoothies. I think there’s room in my heart for both. But ultimately, I’m drinking one or the other every day. This Turmeric Beet […]
How To Add Meatless Meals Into Your Week
Our family is not 100% vegetarian, but we have made a concerted effort to go meatless as often as we can. The truth is, we could all eat more veggies and going meatless once in awhile is definitely not a bad thing. I believe everyone should do what is right for them, and I don’t try […]
Gluten-Free Tamale Pie {Pamela’s Products Giveaway!}
Thank you to Pamela’s Products for sponsoring this post and giveaway. In the last few weeks, I’ve read a bunch of articles and blog posts on the subject of home-cooked family dinners. The big question is: are they more pain than they’re worth? My opinion lies somewhere in the middle of that argument, as there are plenty […]
Peach + Rosemary Two Ways: Fruit Salad + Iced Tea Fizz
Peaches and rosemary were made for each other. It’s as simple as that. I love peaches. I love rosemary. Put them together, and I’m head over heels for it, no matter what it is. As I’ve been dreaming up new ways to eat peaches (like it’s my full-time job), the idea came to me a […]

I’m joining in with some of my favorite bloggers to share recipes using fruits and veggies that are available in September. The […]
DIY Homemade Pumpkin Pie Spice (Kicked Up a Notch!)
Pumpkin Pie Spice is probably our most-used and loved baking spice blend. All fall and winter long, and sometimes in the warmer months, we add a spoonful to just about everything. I started buying it a few years ago when I saw it at Trader Joe’s. I remembered my grandmother’s spice cupboard always had a […]
Revamped Classic: Naturally Sweetened Healthy Fruit Crisp
We often discuss in our family (usually during dinner) what constitutes a great dessert. Of course, as expected, my children think dessert means loads of sugar, chocolate, caramel, etc, etc. They don’t believe me when I tell them fruit is the original dessert. I can’t blame them much; I would have balked at the notion […]
Tempeh Black Bean Vegan Taco Salad
A little while ago I confessed that I was in my twenties when I first tried tofu. Hmm. Funny thing. I’m in my thirties and I only just tried tempeh for the first time a few months ago. It’s always interesting to me that my picky eating was deeply rooted in fear. What if it didn’t […]
