Making Almond Flour + Gluten & Dairy Free Blueberry Scones
Needing to bring something to my Book Club meeting this morning got me searching on Google last night for some kind of gluten-free, dairy-free yummy thing that goes with coffee and tea. Of course I thought of scones and since it was 7:30 pm, I didn’t want to have to go to the grocery store. […]

In It For The Long Haul
I made this stupid inspiring New Year’s Resolution to run a 5K this year. I’ve never run one before in my life which is kind of surprising given I grew up in “Track Town, USA”. Sure, I’ve jogged for exercise from time to time in my life, but I’ve never been what I would consider […]
