This Fall has been a weird one so far. It's been switching back between hot and cold weather. It's been foggy and damp. The weirdness has been leaving me feeling very confused. One thing I haven't been confused about is that it's pumpkin season. It's officially a ways into October, my apartment is decorated for … Continue reading Salted Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins
Slow Cooker Beef Stew

Pasta e fagiole
Fall is one of our favorite seasons, and packed full of LOTS of things to do! Our September was filled with family birthdays, appointments, and easing (or slamming face-first) back into work. This past month we struggled to keep up with everything we had to do, including getting laundry done with a broken washing machine … Continue reading Pasta e fagiole
GF Vegan Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread
The past few months have been a whirlwind of emotions and plans.

All of this was in a period of … Continue reading GF Vegan Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread

After that I have been thinking about ways to use … Continue reading Grapefruit, Fennel, & Radish Salad

One of the things I looked forward to was their Swedish Meatballs. As an Italian, this was not something I had at home … Continue reading Swedish Meatballs – gf/df

A few … Continue reading Turmeric Turkey Quinoa Meatballs
Unstuffed Peppers
Stuffed peppers is a delicious comfort food that always looks amazing. There are just a few too many steps for me on a work night. I used to meal prep them and we would eat them throughout the week. Oh, how cute they looked in their little pepper shells. But it wasn't that easy to … Continue reading Unstuffed Peppers
Gluten-Free Lo Mein
One of the greatest losses for me when becoming gluten-free was the amount of Asian food I couldn't eat anymore. I have always been a huge fan of noodles and have had fantasies of eating Lo Mein on the floor of my empty living room out of the carton when buying my first house. I'm … Continue reading Gluten-Free Lo Mein
