You’ve heard me talk about it before … Texture. See, a big thing I noticed when I began eating clean was this yearning for something *smooth* LIKE ice cream or *chewy* LIKE brownies. Like. I was missing not the foods but the *sensation* of those foods. So I told you I was the former cookie …

This super simple dish has tons of flavor and it made me so happy! I always rate my recipes on a 1 to 10 scale ‘n rarely give out the 10s but this was an exception. I wanted it twice in one week, yes I did! If you reheat this, warm it in a pan and …

So I fiiiiiinally found a way to use these cute ice cube trays I got on a silly little whim years ago. They said “try me” on them and I swear it may have been that that made me do it. Whyever it was, I am glad. These are *so* much easier to make with …

“Live in day-tight compartments. Don’t stew about the future. Just live each day until bedtime.” – Dale Carnegie Exhuming your cares I’ll share that the whole worry thing reminds me a lot of my wonderful dad.

I’m in love with a leaf. Sage. Toasted sage, in particular. Floating in a soup, sitting on a pile of beans … so very delicious. Plus it won’t let me kill it in my garden. Bonus points for that. My friends Rich and Lauren have a huuuuuge sage plant running amok in their backyard. At …
