Yeah, cookies are off limits right now, but if you aren’t crazypants like we are, with the whole no-sugar diet thing, you can go check them all out. But don’t tell me how awesome they are, because I’ll cutchoo. The only sugar we’re allowed to have (and only because we CrossFit) is one serving of […]
Harvest Chicken Apple Stew
I’m sitting here in the quiet house on a sunny, brisk Sunday afternoon. There’s a fire crackling under the big screen TV with football on. The house smells like the chicken soup simmering on the stove. Most of the chores are done for the weekend, the kids are outside riding bikes while Mike saws something […]

Sweet & Savory Sage Stew with Pumpkin & Cherries
I have a few things in queue to post but since the weekend is coming up and it’s cold in most places, I figured you guys might like an easy crockpot recipe. I made this one before but it was before I went grain-gluten-free and now my whole approach to stews and thickening agents has […]
