  • What Do You Feed Your Dog?

    I am in the process of considering rescuing a dog — I don’t really want a puppy, dealing with the dreaded puppy stage. I know they are cute and all but I would rather skip that part and find a two-three year old doggy in need of a good home. Did you know that according…

  • Life is Short: Enjoy Every Day

    Cancer has been on mind the past day or so- and it sucks plain and simple. It sucks for famous people, young people, old people, fit and unfit people. It really doesn’t discriminate – unfortunately there seems to be a cancer for everyone.  Whenever I read or learn about someone newly diagnosed, fighting cancer or…

  • Did You know? Certain Foods Create Mucus

    Although losing an hour in the spring is tough, I feel more energized and in the mood to organize. I have committed to going through closets in the next month and getting them situated. Let’s hope this energy is a sign that my winter blues are drifting away. I am still having asthma fits during…

  • Time to Feel Good Again

  • Paleo Leap: Sweet Potato Bacon Cakes

    Bacon and Sweet Potatoes? There is no wrong in this recipe! It’s supposed to be a good, solid replacement for hash browns. The resulting cakes have crispy outsides that just beg you to bite through them into the irresistible flavor inside. In fact, you may want to make a double recipe; these are sure to…

  • Stupid Easy Paleo: Cinnamon French Toast Panna Cotta

    Who doesn’t love French Toast? All the favorite French toast flavors: the butteriness from the ghee, richness from the egg yolks, warmth from cinnamon and of course a bit of sweet from maple syrup. A bit of crumbled crispy bacon on top gives a savory counterpoint to the sweetness. And of course, I used coconut…

  • Rest in Peace Aunt Barbara

    My aunt died yesterday. She was my Dad’s only sister and only sibling. I had only met her a handful of times at most in my life. Our family has a history of estrangement and other odd family relationships. My Dad and her didn’t speak for many, many years and making the effort to be…

  • The Winter That Never Ends…

    This week has been really odd for me – just feeling really sluggish and unmotivated. I think it’s the lack of sunlight and all this snow. I am so sick of winter – I don’t mind the seasons, but man, this winter has gone on forever. I wanted to follow up with my post from…

  • Taking a Chill Pill

    I’m going to chill for a few days from the blog — but will share some little shots of inspiration… enjoy!
