It’s 92 degrees at our place today. More than a little un-seasonal for the last week of September, here in Maine! But while I might be wearing shorts, and the kids are running around in their bathing suits, I’m totally humming Christmas music. Yup…I’m that girl. I can’t help it. By the time the harvest…

Coconut Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies

Sometimes, you just need a chocolate chip cookie. I can’t think of many other foods, that when I want them – I WANT THEM. Now. And nothing else will do. Have you ever had that feeling? Only to discover, as you scurry through your pantry grabbing ingredients, that you don’t have everything you need. That’s…

Grain-Free Granola Bars

Slow Cooker Spiced Pear Sauce
