This long weekend has been so fantastic already. I’m thrilled to have another day today to continue cleaning the house, organizing our offices, and making a mark in the endless pile of laundry. It’s my first weekend at home in over 2 weeks so I’ve let a lot of things fall to the wayside. Sometimes…
I’ve always had a soft spot for pastries. I haven’t exactly been able to indulge like I used to since removing sugar, dairy, and gluten from my diet. That was until I tried my hand at a vegan, gluten-free version of Martha Stewart’s pie crust. First pastry creation – Grilled inside out apple pies *swoon*…
I was so tired yesterday morning that I decided to skip my morning workout, treat myself to a 30 minute sleep in, and prepare a nice breakfast. After enjoying an apple quinoa flake bake, I set the intention that I would find the time in the afternoon for a run. Thankfully, 10 hours later I…
I’m back! Boy, did I miss you guys [and my kitchen]. Don’t let that fool you though, I still cooked up a storm while we were away. I am [still] uploading all of our pictures and videos from the trip, and plan to share them with you tomorrow. I managed to make these snack bars…
Steph is the master of desserts. She may not know that I call her this, but she does now! Not only is she amazing in the kitchen [her latest donut recipe had me doing flips], she’s also training for a marathon! Each of her training progress posts have really inspired me to continue on with…
How was your Easter weekend? I’ll be quite honest with you, I’m not ready to go back to work today. I had 4 sweet days off and couldn’t have enjoyed myself more. Why does time fly when you’re having fun? It’s just not fair. Speaking of time off, only 4 more weeks until our vacation…
Happy Saturday! I’m just about to head to the gym for a 60 min swim + 45 min run + stretch/core. Woot! Tomorrow is my rest day. Words cannot express how giddy I am. Another thing that makes me equally as giddy? glass dharma straws. Gail over at glass dharma was kind enough to send…
Lately I’ve been playing with rice, chickpea, sorghum, and buckwheat flours, something I would have never had the courage to do until a couple of weeks ago. If there’s one thing I’ve learned since beginning HP it’s that you just need to dig in and test ingredients until you get it right! Each flour is…
Baking is an extremely new thing to me. Generally I stick to treats like macaroons or protein bars but I’ve become curious about the world of gluten free flours, so I’ve started experimenting. Last week I wrote about my almond flour experience and how happy I was to have found a gluten free flour that…
