Now, I know “Paleo” is a big fad right now, but if you look into some of the science and research behind it- there’s some sound reasoning there!  I read It Starts With Food and have thought about doing a 30 day challenge… I just really love bread & pasta… After reading the book, IContinue reading “Paleo Lasagna”

One of my dear friends just had a baby! Which led to me think about her incoming lack of sleep and adjusting to motherhood (well, from what I’ve heard from other friends).  I looked up foods to eat while nursing on google and found that milk products are great- and to consider the flavors you’reContinue reading “Honey & Lavender Ice Cream”
