It took a couple tries to get the crust for this tart just right. The first time I used too, too much almond flour and it didn’t hold up to the filling. The second time was the charm! Remember to use a tart pan with a removable bottom (not a glass one like the one…
Here’s what I whipped up for our lunch today. Delicious, spicy and satisfying. Serve with your favorite tortilla chips! The great northern beans naturally mash up during the mixing process, lending a smooth texture that combines well with the other ingredients and makes this dip yummy and interesting. I use all low-sodium options for my…
My friend Kristina gave me a recipe for “boyfriend chicken” a few weeks back. She told me it’s called that because it’s her “go-to” recipe for impressing new boyfriends. I think that’s adorable. Between this, and all of the recipes entitled “boyfriend bait” floating around on Pinterest these days, I decided to come up with…

What a lovely, relaxing, awesome weekend we had. Saturday we hung out around the house, watched THIS movie (which was horrible… the only thing that was good about it was the always adorable Simon Pegg), and THIS movie (which was seriously one of the best things I’ve ever seen. It touched on some difficult subjects,…
Now that I’m getting the hang of this gluten free thing, I’m having fun. These brownies turned out sooooo good. If you’re not going to eat them fresh, just pop them in the microwave for 10 to 20 seconds before serving. Gracie and Jeff had theirs topped with a little fresh whipped cream and a…
