Indian cuisine is so wonderfully tasty and fragrant, and it’s easy to people on gluten free, vegetarian, vegan, or paleo diets to find something to eat. That is, if you cook it yourself, or if you find a high quality restaurant. Unfortunately, good Indian restaurants can be hard to find (but what a treat when […]

{Recipe} Immunity Boosting Carrot Coconut Soup (Vegan, Paleo, Gluten Free)
The cold season has begun, and Franklin came home one day with a runny nose. Unfortunately, I have 0 patience for sickness in my house — it sounds harsh, but I spend my days cleaning, cooking, working, entertaining, and the last thing I want to do is also nurse someone through an illness, even if […]
{Recipe} Slow Cooked Red Lentil & Chickpea Curry (Vegan, Gluten Free)
If you think that making dinner is relaxing, you probably don’t have kids. Franklin will usually read a book or play in the evening, or if needed, I’ll let him watch a Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood episode. But Nicholas? He won’t sit in his high chair for more than a few minutes, and while I’m happy […]
{Recipe} Chocolate Chocolate Chips Waffles (Gluten Free, Paleo)
I’m on a waffle and hot chocolate kick lately. I can’t think of anything better on a cold Sunday morning! This recipe is all gluten free, delicious, and last but not least, easy to make. Franklin loves to help me pulse the ingredients in the food processor, and whip the cream to top the waffles. […]

{Recipe} Garlicky Broccoli & Shiitake Bowl on Mashed Potatoes
In addition to having backyard hens, we now also grow our own mushrooms. This is all thanks to my husband, green thumb extraordinaire, who loves experimenting in the garden. I let him do pretty much everything he wants — the backyard is his territory. I’ve only said “no” a few times; a composting toilet, we […]
{Recipe} French Lentil & Pasta Soup (Vegan, Gluten Free)
I’m obsessed with soup. They are so perfect for busy moms. They cook in one pot (we don’t end up with a pile of dirty dishes), they are nourishing and filling, you can have all kinds of easy sides with them (sourdough bread, pastured butter, raw cheese, sauerkraut, etc.), and you can make lots and […]
{Recipe} Chocolate Truffle Cake (Raw, Vegan, Paleo, Gluten Free)
This is a cake I often make for birthday parties. It’s quick and easy to make, and everyone loves it. Obviously, It’s a rich, decadent chocolate cake that feels like a cross between a truffle and chocolate fudge. What’s not to like? I know the photo is not up to my usual standards. But this […]
{Recipe} Vegetable & Chickpea Curry in Coconut Milk (Vegan, Gluten Free)
One pot meals are a mom’s best friend. So are meals that can be made in advance. If I foresee a difficult evening, I will often make this meal as early as 2 pm, and cook it on low heat so it takes longer to be ready. Then, I keep it warm, and make a […]
