Christmas Cake {Gluten Free/Paleo}

Posted on

When I think about winter, I remember riding my bike in the snow, I think about glittering lights in the streets of Belgium, I see the warm mist of my breath in the air, I long for the holiday markets in Europe where clove and orange captivate the senses, and I think about Christmas Cake, which is all much more than a cake to begin with. The years my family spent living in Belgium were undoubtedly some of the best years of our lives. Living… Read More

Lamb & Beet Greens Stuffed Acorn Squash

I am of the belief there’s nothing that cannot be combined, piled and squished into an acorn squash. Am I right? First of all, they are so darned cute!

Sea Salt & Citrus Season

As a little girl, I’d watch my Grandma peel citrus. With her fingers coated in the sticky juices she’d break them open and remove the membranes carefully.

When she ate citrus, she’d grab a few of the bulbs… Read More
