Has anyone tried a detox or cleanse? I am just coming off a 14 day liver detox. My husband and I did a clean eating type of detox in November "for fun". The one we did together was only 5 days. I don't think I could get him to do it for any longer. We were both eating too much crap and having sweetened coffees every day of the week, so we thought we would clean it up for a few days between … [Read more...]
Holy Canolli
Have you ever made canolli? My son and I were shopping at TJMaxx months ago and he picked up some canolli molds and asked, "Mom - can we make canolli?" Well of course. Many weeks later we found them in the back of the drawer and we decided New Year's Day would be the perfect time to try them. The only time I've had canolli was when my husband and I took a trip to NYC. We were walking along a … [Read more...]

Ginger Turmeric Drink
I've recently been drinking a ginger turmeric drink after my morning coffee. I make about a half a gallon and keep it in the refrigerator and it lasts all week long. By the looks of the jar you would think I don't have any pitchers at my house. I usually fill a glass with ice and the mixture and keep adding water throughout the day. There are so many benefits of ginger and … [Read more...]
Apple jelly
This apple jelly is really more of an apple jam or butter. My sister in law makes the best apple butter as does my grandma - so I've never felt the need to make any. Because I couldn't find any that I wanted at the grocery store, I decided to make my own. Real easy. I made a really small batch so you could easily double or triple this recipe. Most of the recipes I found didn't call for … [Read more...]
Red Pepper Jelly
I stopped at 3 grocery stores and could not find red pepper jelly. Super annoying. Let me clarify - I stopped at 3 grocery stores and could not find any sort of pepper jelly that did not have Yellow 5 and Red 40 in it. So, buy peppers and make your own. Also - no apple jelly let alone organic apple jelly. None. Guess I'll make that too. It's always fun when my husband picks up one of my food … [Read more...]
Cashew butter cookies
I went to take a few pictures of a bridge that was nearby where I grew up last weekend and I forgot how much I love to take pictures. Maybe I'll slowly get back into this again... Anyway - I made some real good cookies this morning and thought I'd share the recipe. It took a food processor. gasp. Ugh - It's all of the way in the back. It's like 5 pieces and at least 2 trips to the counter. I'll … [Read more...]
Almond Fruit Bread
I received a request for some low carb/low sugar recipes. Although this bread has fruit in it, it's pretty versatile and you can make it lower carb if you so choose. You could swap out the fruit for more nuts; add lower carb fruits; skip the honey all together; you can even skip the butter and add in water instead - although I'm not sure why you would ever want to do that. Start out with … [Read more...]
A good excuse to bake
I came across this article last night and thought I would share. One of my favorite things to do is to bake something and give it away. Read it here Very loosely it says "It is more blessed to give than to receive." Pretty sure I've read that somewhere before :) … [Read more...]
