Yes it’s a little late for Fat Tuesday, but those who do not fast for Lent don’t really care. Then again it is MEATLESS jambalaya, so I be the Pope would approve anyway! Meatless doesn’t mean flavorless. Grain free doesn’t mean you are giving something up. This stuff was mighty tasty. The only thing I [...]

This is not a blog to boast about what a wonderful Valentine’s Day I had (though it was the best I have ever had), it is more a reminder to me of why I eat the way I do, and hey if you want to feel better yourself you might just test it out for [...]

I fell a little behind in my blog reading due to the holidays and things piling up, so I only just realized this morning that my friend Tiffany over at Carbzilla had bestowed the Beautiful Blogger Award on me. To be honest I don’t quite know what I am supposed to do with it, but [...]

That said, here is my little wish list!

Dec 14

My weekend turned out to be quite full after all. I did cut some things out as I didn’t want to overstress myself, but I still kept myself quite busy. Friday I stopped by my friend Betsey’s to purchase some of her homemade goodies. She has a lovely little Etsy store where she sells her [...]

Chocolate Covered Nut Balls

These really should be called “Crust Balls” because they were originally made into a crust for a raw pie. There was extra “crust” and so I had to try a bite. Immediate addiction. MUST MAKE CRUST BALLS. Crust Balls just doesn’t have the appropriate ring though, so behold the NUT BALLS. [...]
