Yum. Super Natural Every Day once again tantalizes the taste buds. This grain salad is nutty, lemony, tangy, and a little garlicky. Oh my gosh. I feel like I should go eat another bowlful right away! I decided to go with farro for this salad, because I’ve been curious about it for a while. An […]
Raise your hand if you know someone who has food allergies. About 5 years ago, my mom began to develop some serious sensitivities to lactose and wheat. To manage her symptoms, basically had to stop eating all her favorite foods. I can’t even imagine not being able to grab a brownie at the end of […]

My best friend and I have an ongoing argument about which is a greater travesty: box cake mix or store-bought pie crust. Guess which camp I fell in… Have you ever heard the phrase “as easy as pie”? Because it exists for a reason: pie is incredibly simple. It’s easier than cookies. I mean, you […]
Muffins are pretty much my favorite food. Well, make that all breakfast baked goods. But muffins, my friend, top the charts. I’ve had my eye on these muffins for a while now, and I’m glad I finally made them! The flavor is rather mild, but the hint of spices and the pecans on top give […]
