If you’ve been reading this blog for a while, you may remember my anticipation as I counted down the days to Valentine’s this past February. I bought my husband a pile of gifts and could hardly stand the tension with them sitting wrapped on the table for what seemed like forever.
Do you know that feeling [...]

Well, this is about as anti-climactic as news gets, but that $50 Craigslist freezer does, indeed, work — and beautifully at that. Sixteen half gallons of raw goats’ milk from Miabella Farm line the top shelf, cooked quinoa in hubby-sized portions waves from the door, and I’m chewing my lower lip over the exact composition [...]

Oh boy, oh boy! Guess what I found on Craigslist? A 55″ tall, 4-year-old, upright, self-defrosting Frigidaire freezer for only $50! Based on the picture, I thought it was one of the really small ones that stands about 3 feet tall, so I was shocked when I arrived. No, make that horrified. I thought there was no [...]

This review might seem redundant given yesterday’s overall (wildly favorable) Coconut Bliss review, but I thought it was worth following up on this particular flavor because, if you’re anything like me, the thought of mint and coconut together falls rather short of appealing. Coconut and vanilla? Sure. Coconut and chocolate? Gimme more! But coconut and mint? Blech. [...]

Believe it or not, I still have a pulse — and taste buds. And those taste buds have been dancing with delight over a new discovery. Have you heard about Coconut Bliss? If you haven’t, allow me to share the good news. It’s a dairy-free ice cream made from coconut milk that you can buy in your health [...]

Making dessert for special occasions always intimidates me, and the prospect of preparing a gluten-free one away from home at high altitude this Christmas really had me in a tizzy. Last holiday season, I settled for a citrus fruit salad with ginger yogurt, which, while delicious, seasonal, and GF, didn’t exactly feel like Christmas dinner dessert. So I jumped [...]

I’m officially taking a break from blogging until January. I really enjoy writing and sharing recipes and health tidbits here, but I need to focus on finishing my last three weeks of undergraduate work ever (hallelujah!) and spending time with my family and in-laws for the holidays. I’ll be in Phoenix, Arizona for Thanksgiving and [...]

Oh dear. I’m afraid I’ve really dropped the ball on this. My three giveaways closed last Saturday, and I am only just now publicly announcing the winners. Yikes! It seems I have not successfully mastered the combination of houseguests and blogging.
Fortunately, I did at least take care of the most pressing business last Saturday afternoon by [...]

As a continuation of yesterday’s post, here are two more reasons I am enjoying juice fasting.
Extra Time
I spend a lot of time every day preparing food, eating it, and cleaning up afterwards. I am more aware of this than ever, now that I don’t have to do it! I’m also amazed by how much of my energy [...]

I never thought I could do a juice fast. Go without food? For days? Not on my list of fun things to do! Contemplating it, I even felt a little panicky. But this is my second juice fast, and I’ve discovered it’s quite a unique experience — one that I’ll continue to seek out in [...]
