Easy candied orange peel
When December rolls around, you can count on me to first start thinking of what holiday treats I’ll be creating. Shortbread is a given, both sweet and savory. Fruitcake (yes!). Something chocolate, whether that’s a dark flourless cookie or almond roca bars, or – in rare years – chocolate fudge. And candied orange peel. It’s…
The Paleo Diet Challenge: Top 5 Negatives
Wow, it’s over. 31 days of the Paleo challenge done. Whew. It’s taken me a few days to gather my thoughts on how the last month went and what I learned. There were a lot of positives — more than I thought there would be, actually — but first, let’s start off with the things…
The Paleo Diet Challenge: Day 31
Final day of the challenge. Big sigh. (Okay, I suppose technically it was a 30-day challenge…but with July having 31 days, it didn’t make sense to me to not make it through the entire month.) It’s been up and down for the last few weeks — my feelings about Paleo eating, my weight, my anxiety…
The Paleo Diet Challenge: Day 30
I can’t honestly remember eating as much lettuce, especially in the form of lettuce wraps, as I have in the past few weeks.

The Paleo Diet Challenge: Day 29
Oh, wow. Wow. I think I’ve found a new ally in the kitchen, for baking anyway: Blanched almond flour. So far I’ve had success using a coarser almond meal in the morning glory muffins, where a denser texture is perfectly okay. But for some baked goods, a finer grind, something closer to actual wheat flour,…
The Paleo Diet Challenge: Day 28
One thing I’ll take away from the Paleo challenge is a more positive attitude towards cauliflower. It may not be dramatic and life changing, but I’d say it’s a step in the right direction. I mentioned cauliflower early on in the challenge, and I’ve made it a few times since then. The funny thing is,…
The Paleo Diet Challenge: Day 27
So, Day 27 in the Paleo Diet Challenge. I’ve mentioned before that I like getting a CSA box because it pushes me outside of my kitchen comfort zone, a little. Take garlic scapes. Not something you see at a big box supermarket, or even your local green grocer. Last year garlic scapes definitely had me…
