Homeschooling: A New Adventure
Homeschooling: A New Adventure “You’re gonna make me do what I don’t want to do, aren’t you?” I said while staring reluctantly up into the sky. With a deep sigh, I unlocked my car door and climbed into the drivers seat. Before racing off to make it home in time for my kids’ bedtime routine,…

Paleo Pizza Pasta
Paleo Pizza Pasta Pizza and pasta. Two of the hardest foods to replace when starting any kind of clean eating diet. Granted, there are numerous cauliflower carb alternatives, but not without a notable after taste and change in texture.

Stressed Spelled Backwards Is Desserts
Stressed Spelled Backwards Is Desserts I have a confession to make. For the last few months, I’ve been feeling like a fraud. The truth is, I AM a “passionate paleo diet lover” just as the Messy Masterpiece Bio says. BUT, the bigger truth is, I’m also human. GASP!!! Shocking right… For the last several months,…

The Farmer’s Market Challenge
The Farmer’s Market Challenge Maybe it’s just me…but I feel there is a certain kind of magic surrounding farmer’s markets. Rows of vendors lining the streets offering products they’ve poured their hearts and souls into. Locally grown fruits and vegetables being sold with an echo of familiar times I’ve never personally experienced. Don’t get me…

Garden 2023
Garden 2023 “The most wonderful time of the year” meant something very different to me just a few short years ago.

Paleo Little Debbie’s Brownies

You were always sure to find at least one box with the iconic logo sitting in my family’s pantry. Nutty bars, oatmeal crème pies, swiss rolls, and of course…cosmic brownies. Over the years, these brownie legends have…
