Carrot Bread

Hi friends! We are almost done with the longest, least favorite, month of the year…MARCH! I always dread this month because its the pit of the winter when all we want to do is pull out our spring clothes and dance in the sun. This year, I really can’t complain about this month. We were…

Kale Salad with Cod

I know this isn’t a very wintery recipe, but I crave fresh light meals once in a while! Don’t get me wrong, I do love my hearty comfort foods, but this is a nice change. I tweaked this a few times until I liked the combo of vegetables and the tangy-ness of the dressing. I…

Sheet Pan Rosemary Balsamic Chicken and Veggies

March has certainly lived up to its reputation of coming in like a lion. We have had warm weather, snow weather, and frigid weather. No matter what the weather, time is trucking along and I can rest easy knowing spring is right around the corner. And who doesn’t get comforted by the idea that spring…

Paleo New England Clam Chowder

We went to Chowderfest in Saratoga a few weeks ago and I’ve had a hankering for chowder ever since. I have to admit, I did indulge a bit while I was there, all for inspiration of course;) I’d love to say everything went great and I felt fabulous afterwords but that wasn’t the case. I…

Peanut Butter Heart-Shaped Cookies

With Valentines Day right around the corner, it’s hard not to be bombard with “love”. By “love” I mean, the artificial, buy a large stuffed animal, eat expensive food and be stressed to plan the perfect night kind of “love” that truly couldn’t be further from how love is meant to be expressed. Not trying…

Lemon Chicken Thighs with Risotto

After an e x t r e m e l y long month of January (it was beginning to feel 3 months long) I was skipping into February with a smile on my face. It’s been a hard balance to not wish away the months of pregnancy and preparation for baby when all I want…

Seared Scallops and Risotto

I’ve fallen IN LOVE with risotto. I don’t know if its the richness of the rice or the high flavor, but I’m completely won over and can’t get enough. Many risottos I’ve tried contain heavy cream and cheese, which can be a bit much. I have perfected this recipe that is just as delicious without…

Crepes

Having a week off of grad school, work, and everything else I put on hold for Christmas vacation means more time for breakfast! These crepes were incredible and I cannot wait to make them again! If you are as big of a crepe fan as I am, you know that these basic crepes can be…

Hot Cocoa and Gingerbread Cookies

There is just four days until Christmas and I can honestly say I am more at ease and organized than ever before. I have really been trying to savor moments, which means taking time for myself, taking time for my family, and simplifying my life as much as possible. All of this is mostly done…

For this child I prayed. 1 Samuel 1:27

Although I primarily use this site for wholesome eating, I have a story that I believe needs to be told. I am not overly personal to many people, but when I feel the Holy Spirit convicting me of something, I know better than to avoid it. Last winter, we had an answer to prayer. Dale…
