Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups

Thursday, June 26th, 2014

Lemon Ginger Granola – Gluten Free

Friday, November 22nd, 2013

Day three of cloud-filled skies here in Santa Fe.  Whew my tolerance is being tested.  Yes, I grew up in New England, yes I am used to months of inclement, gray, rainy weather…but I voluntarily left it.  I know that this weather will pass, and we will be back to daily sunshine here soon enough…but […]

Gluten-Free Pizzelle

Thursday, December 20th, 2012

I have not been feeling very festive so far this December, but my one holiday indulgence has been these pizzelle.  Over a year ago I purchased a waffle iron that came with plates to make hot sandwiches and pizzelle too.  I was so excited, but never tested out the pizzelle maker.  Mostly because I had […]

Peanut Butter-Banana Muffins

Saturday, August 18th, 2012

I have a confession.  I am way too much of a perfectionist when it comes to this blog…and it is keeping me from blogging.  Apart from the fact that the summer season keeps my schedule inundated with spa work and private massage clients, my main excuse for not blogging is the perfectionist block.

Gluten-Free Morning Glory Muffins

Friday, April 27th, 2012

Morning Glory Muffins make me think of weekend breakfasts with my father, stepmother, sister and grandmother.  Before I started to make changes to my approach to food, I remember whole wheat morning glory muffins and hot chocolate with whipped cream.  We would meet our grandmother at the diner one town over and catch up on […]
