Happy March! I suppose it’s halfway through March, but doesn’t it feel like it just started? So the Crockpot Challenge was a success! We got a little sick of the “crockpot texture” – where everything is a little mushy, not like baby food mushy, just you know…crockpot-y. But it sure was nice being able to come…
So I’ve just moved to the most beautiful little town. Hood River, Oregon is just 45 minutes East of Portland nestled right along the Columbia River. I can see Washington from my front porch! I also have a lovely view of Mt. Adams (Washington) and if I run just down the street a bit I…
When I first cut Coffee Mate out of my life, I used full fat coconut milk or the occasional half and half in my coffee. It’s pretty good…but the minute I realized how easy homemade almond milk is to make (and then tried it), I can’t go back. I’ll splurge on half and half when…
I’ve been published! For the first time a recipe of mine has been “printed.” FastPaleo is an awesome resource and recipe website and for the past few years they have put out a Top 100 recipe e-book, and my Macadamia Nut Pesto was chosen as one of the Top 100 of 2013! I’m super excited…
I just love Fall. Don’t you just want to be in this photo? Credit goes to Christine, my best friend of (almost) 27 years! There have been jokes that it’s a ploy to convince me to move to Colorado Springs. Well, if so, it’s working! A year from now I might really be getting to…
God has a funny way of surprising us. I think He really delights in surprising us when we make bold statements. As Meagan, Jessie and I sat in my “new” apartment enjoying the fact that we were all now living in Texas, one of them asked where I saw myself after grad school. I had…
I have to be honest. I am taking a break from studying pediatric dysphagia (swallowing and feeding disorders in children) and so posting a recipe has all sorts of different ideas running through my mind. Everything from the motor reflexes involved in swallowing to why kids are picky eaters. I’m learning that it can take…
“She’s always buzzing just like neon…” Oh John Mayer, if you only knew. Some days I don’t feel like I take a breath until I lay down, but I love the busy. I love the whirlwind. I love learning and growing. This semester I have two clinical placements. One off campus, 8 hours a week…
