First Bite: Pumpkin Cranberry Walnut Muffins
Tweet A couple weeks ago I headed into the Tetons with some fellow Marmots for our annual winter catalogue shoot. Group camping trips are an easy target for accidental gluten/dairy/whatever consumption, especially since I wasn’t partaking in the grocery trip. Losing control over my food can send me into a state of panic – what …read the rest
Dinner with friends: Chicken Paprikash
Tweet I don’t even know what we were laughing about but the feeling lingered and I thought, “when was the last time I laughed that hard?”. Laughter used to be synonymous with life. But the last couple years, I don’ t think I laugh as often or as hard as I used to. It made …read the rest
Crock Pot: Chili – without the beans
Tweet First off, I got a Crock Pot for Christmas! Yay! I’m very, very excited about this. Mike told me that I better use it more than twice…. I don’t think that will be a problem. The question is, can I use it twice in a 24 hour period?
A Lazy breakfast (that was fast and easy)
Tweet I bought Paleo Comfort Foods for Jamon’s mom and step-dad for Christmas, I didn’t even have a chance to look through all the recipes (shhhh) but the picture of this one stuck with me. I didn’t grow up with eggs in a basket, but I can clearly remember the first day I saw Jim …read the rest

It’s not that I’m eating out and avoiding my kitchen. O no. Just last night I roasted spaghetti and butternut squash for Melissa’s Butternut Pecan …read the rest
Falling into Fall: Apple Pie
Tweet The last couple Farmers Markets in Salt Lake left me lusting after apples; sweet galas, crisp red delicious, or tart and juicy granny smiths called my name from farmer’s stalls. Fall means apples: apple pie, apple sauce, apple butter, apples and almond butter, apples and pork, apples anyway you can imagine them. Am I …read the rest
Sharing Love: Pumpkin Pie
Tweet I have friends from all walks of eating life. Either by choice or by food allergy, a get together with a large group of friends can be tricky. I enjoy the challenge. Food is how I share love. It’s a shared experience, and it not only says “I love you” but I also says …read the rest
Gluten Free on the Go
Tweet Sometimes a new diet can be overwhelming. Sometimes an old diet can be too. Sometimes just eating well while life is rushing by can be overwhelming. But it is definitely doable. Here’s how. In the past month I’ve been in Idaho, Colorado, Texas and Salt Lake City. It’s been absolute chaos. I’m on …read the rest
