Just in time for St. Patrick’s Day! What could be better than a Guinness? Well, when you’re keto, maybe a slice of keto chocolate stout cake. This cake was first introduced to me in Scotland and served up by a lanky Swedish man. I’m fairly certain the originator of the recipe was Nigella Lawson; at…
So… here we are. I’ve officially fallen down the clean-living rabbit hole — and honestly? I didn’t jump. I face-planted right in. If you’ve been following my saga of food sensitivities, autoimmune weirdness, ER visits, and “why does everything burn my face?” moments, this probably won’t surprise you. But something shifted these past few weeks,…
Hey friends, let’s talk melasma… and the mustache-that-wasn’t. So, here’s the truth: When my melasma first showed up, it did not gently announce itself. Nope. It marched right across my upper lip like a hormonal little soldier and gave me the appearance of a pubescent teenage boy mustache. Even waxed. Even freshly exfoliated. Even prayed…

That’s a mouthful! But seriously it is a tasty mouthful. So… confession. I made this MONTHS ago but it was right about when I was becoming allergic to everything. It tasted so so good but then I couldn’t eat much. I’m about to give the whole thing a go again as I’m further along in…
This is a ferment for those of you who really miss pasta or simply love butternut squash. It is lovely with a coconut bechamel poured over the top or cashew sauce if you can tolerate nuts… (I can’t at the moment). I like to eat them cold to benefit from the probiotics and as most…
It has been a wee while since my last post. We have had a couple emergency room visits in the past week and a half and are adjusting to some new physical limitations. Adjusting to a Hashimoto’s life has been a challenge to say the least and my foods have become increasingly limited. I may…
The school year has begun and I have not quite hit my rhythm yet. Kids and homework, yes. Studying for my Nutrition course and blogging? Not so much. One thing at a time. Right now my youngest is happily attending her first day of preschool for the year and I am enjoying a precious few…
