[soliloquy id=”13775″] Sundays are Farmer’s Market days for Matt and I. We wake up early, take a walk down sleepy Ventura to get a big ol’ cup of coffee and before we come home to make a big breakfast, we stop at our local farmer’s market to pick up produce for that week’s meals. I love…
Gluten-Free
No Bake Cake Pops
I’m still very new to going sugar free and it’s something that I am trying to embrace. Can I be honest? It’s been an incredibly fun journey. I will let you giggle at that because it sounds ridiculous at first thought. This is the girl who used to thrive over creating copycat treats into…

For anyone who has taken a stab at baking gluten free and vegan, you will know that it is no easy feat. It…
Egg Free Sweet Potato Gnocchi
Gnocchi is not an easy meal to recreate into a grain and egg free feast. This one took several, several times to get back into the kitchen and try again. I probably had five different variations, some of which disintegrated into the boiling water (not enough structure), others that had an “off” texture until I realized…
