Eating out or cooking at home, trying to stay grain-free, dairy-free, sugar-free.
I've been getting a produce box since May, so I've had the benefit of eating much more seasonally. There are some items that seem to always be available, but I've already been overloaded with winter vegetables. I used to only use kale to make kale chips but with it easier to get than spinach lately … Continue reading Taking on Kale
When I gave up gluten a couple of years ago, I was mostly upset at having to give up beer. I didn’t love cider options in bars. The average bar has one option. There are so many other options out there though — and they are good. I wanted to start sharing what I’m trying. … Continue reading Cider Tastings: Part 1
There are some meals that when I describe them to people they seem grossed out. One of them includes a meal I love, that I had a lot growing up, which includes a can of creamed chicken and a can of tuna. I feel like this is one of those recipes. Stick with me here … Continue reading Salmon Gnocchi Bowl
I’ve been visiting Charleston on a regular basis for longer than I’d really care to share. Over that time the city has become a serious foodie haven. I have my long time stand-bys and must visits.

Some of it was things I should not have been eating in the first place. Some of the questions I've heard: What do you do in your appointments? You have to track … Continue reading Take my grains but not my hummus
I've been intrigued by trying to make the cookies from the last season of HIMYM. So I found a few recipes and tried it out. They include: peanut butter chocolate chips cut up Rolos They came out of the oven looking anything but edible. My coworkers disagreed, thankfully. I think for caramel in the future … Continue reading Recreating sumbitches
It came up at work - I'd never made a pie. I guess my family always has a pie at the holidays but usually wasn't homemade. So at Thanksgiving, my mom and I decided we'd make a pie. Using her French cookbook, we made the dough and the filling from scratch. Something else I can … Continue reading Pie baking at the holidays
After wrapping up my first Whole30 I went all in on vacation with one of my favorite meals at a favorite restaurant. Not the spot in Charleston to go, but definitely worth it (and easier to get into than the most talked about), High Cotten has always done traditional Southern dishes particularly well. And they're … Continue reading An annual trip to High Cotten
