I have been a lot more cheaty this year with my diet. I will admit. I was on a long binge with Simple Mills cookies, which are pretty “good for you” and gluten free with lower amounts of sugar, but they changed their recipe or something (just in time for me to quit sneaking them). […]
The Very Best Grain-Free, Gluten-Free Paleo Brownies
If you know me, you should know that I am crazy about chocolate. In fact, I eat one of these brownies (or 2-3 of them) per day. They are HEATHER APPROVED. Not only that, but everyone we’ve shared them with asks for the recipe… which is why I’m putting it here. I can now just […]

C is for Carrot Cake
This cake needs no introduction. You may require an armed guard to prevent others from eating it before you can get a slice, though. My daughter made it on her birthday. She was not quite yet 10. The recipe is so fool proof that even an elementary school kid can make it and it comes […]
