Lately our lives have been one adventure after another. Not only have we been dealing with our day to day lives and everything that usually comes with it, but we made a hugely insane (but fantastic) decision to move ourselves out of the Pacific Northwest and back to sunny Southern California! Seriously. We made the… Read more

A Whole-Mess and Turkey Sausage!
Well, do you count something as a failure if you’ve learned something in the process? The Whole30 (elimination diet) I talked about before actually became a Whole8 instead, mostly because I was feeling sicker and sicker every day when I was doing the diet. Most people start an elimination diet because they’re trying to heal… Read more
Oats and Groats Pancakes (gluten free!)
My dear friend Marcy is a nutritionist, so I figure for the most part she’s a good influence on me when it comes to food. But I think that just comes with the territory of her job and her lovable hippy nature. Once when we went to visit her and her husband, she mentioned making… Read more
Fried Eggs and Rice, Most Awesome Breakfast Ever
I would say my husband thinks I’m crazy, but in reality he already knows I’m crazy and to him this is just more proof. I hadn’t tried a fried egg until earlier this year. I know. I must have lived such a sheltered life of only eating scrambled eggs. It wasn’t really sheltered though, more… Read more
Roasted Turkey Sans Bones (Mostly)
I trust everyone had a very happy and healthy Thanksgiving this year. Since we celebrated Thanksgiving the weekend before, I really wasn’t in that big of a hurry to make any turkey for ourselves. Our dinner with friends was so delicious and I was almost turkey’ed out, but I did buy my own turkey because… Read more
Slow Cooker Fajita Chicken
I have decided that the slow cooker is not only a great kitchen appliance, it is also an excellent way to terrorize your husband. Especially if he works from home like mine does most of the time. I had a wild hankering for fajitas the other day and decided I should find a recipe for… Read more
Cinnamon Oat Pancakes
Alright, early mornings are high on the “life sucks” list. I’ve been making due and actually got back in the kitchen for once. And even know I have to get up at the un-crack of dawn (my alarm goes off at 3:20am, ick) you still have to eat. So I’ve been trying to figure out… Read more
Storin The Bacon
The love affair with bacon is hard to deal with when you really don’t want to be eating a whole pound of bacon at one time because you don’t want it to go bad, especially when there are only two people living in your house. The Husband was trying to be a good man and… Read more
Bakin Bacon!
Husband calls bacon the gateway meat. It has to be one of the most addictive meat products you can buy in the market. I’ve known a few vegetarians who would randomly crave bacon from time to time. It’s an addictive substance that I am so glad is socially acceptable. The one thing I really hate… Read more
Balsamic Chicken and Tomato Pasta
Balsamic vinegar is one of my favorite things that I really don’t know what to do with half the time. It has the greatest sweet and tangy flavor to it that is fantastic when you dip garlic bread in it. There is only one main dish I’ve ever had made with balsamic in the actual… Read more
