Chocolatey Fudge (Anti-Candida Friendly)
[Looks pretty decadent, doesn’t it? Tastes that way, too.] Okay, so who WAS that woman who wrote my last post?!

Can I tell you a secret? But you have to swear you won’t tell anyone. This particular secret involves a clandestine, middle-of-the-night meeting in an abandoned field; secret code names; the removal of clothing; and a vow never to tell another soul. Oh, and three cans of neon yellow paint. (And I bet you thought you […]

Pick-Your-Own Gluten Free Pancakes*
*Or, Thanks, Michael Ruhlman (for the rule, man). [Millet, buckwheat, oat and bean flour with chopped pears and cranberry compote] I’m all about freedom of choice. While my dad eats the identical breakfast every day**, I feel the need to rotate among cereal (hot or cold), omelets, baked sweet potato and almond sauce, apple and almond […]
