Apple, Delicata & Blue Cheese Flatbread {Gluten-Free & Grain-Free}

Yesterday I set out to make a pie.
This effort was thwarted once I looked over at the bowl of neglected produce on my counter. The delicata squash made eye contact with me and got real. “Hey, G… I’ve been sitting on your counter for TWO weeks. What-chu gonna do about it?” Jeez. Sassy squash.
Ok, ok… so, the squash didn’t actually speak to me due to its lack of communicative parts and bits (i.e. I’ve never met a squash with lips–have you? If so, email me PUH-LEASE–I wanna hear all about it) but my own produce guilt did create a dialogue between myself and this neglected squash. I’ll spare you the details, but basically, the squash got sassier and sassier until I promised to help her fulfill her delicious little squash destiny. In this process I also got bullied by a very pushy apple. She wanted in on the action. I said yes. […]

Butter & Wine Roasted Mushrooms

You know that old saying “opposites attract”?
That’s real.
My idea of the perfect breakfast is a leftover steak I take out of the fridge and eat cold. Usually with my hands. I’m not ashamed. My father likes to get on me about it being very “National Geographic”, but… you gotta do what you gotta do. Follow your bliss, right? My bliss just happens to come along with cold steak juice dripping onto my nightgown in the AM. We all have our things. […]

The Minted Pear | A Green Juice Recipe

Are you looking at the title of this post and thinking, “Whoa. Did you just name that green juice like one would name a cocktail?” Yes. The answer is yes. I thought it would make green juice fun and flirty. It was either Kale, Pears, Mint n’ Stuff or The Minted Pear. I stand by my choice. We deserve to make our green juice fancy.  Pinkies up, yo.

Alright, so last week was off the chain. I feel like I got hit by a birthday bus. How are you guys doing? You good? Did you make any of those donuts yet? Oh, lawdy! Those things are crazy good. Go make those and then come back here and make this. The two go hand in hand. You’ll get it. This stuff is good for an “okay, maybe that fourth donut was a bit much” hangover. I should know… I drank and entire quart of it. Not kidding. It goes down real easy. […]

November Giveaway: We’re Giving Away A Vitamix!

Happy November, Peeps! Can you believe that it’s already November? I can’t. Have you started to plan your Thanksgiving menu yet? Oh, should we not talk about that yet? Are we in turkey denial still? Got it.  Too soon. Alright. Let’s just let that one lie there for a while. Instead, let’s focus on this awesome giveaway. Ahhh, all better.

This month I have teamed up with ten other bloggers in order to giveaway this AWESOME prize! We’re giving away this Vitamix Turboblend 4500 Countertop Blender with 2+ HP Motor. This thing is crazy powerful. Have you ever tried to make nut butter in your normal blender and had it overheat and die on you? Yeah, that’s not going to happen here. It’s one heck of a powerful blending machine. I have an older model (yes, I’m totally going to be jealous of the winner–no bigs), and I use it almost every day on everything from green smoothies to nut butters to mixing up muffin batter. It’s earned it’s place as a permanent resident on my counter top. You can check out it’s stats HERE.
Enter to win your own Vitamix by following these easy steps! […]
