The past few weeks have been a bit of a whirlwind for me. Between getting the flu, a huge work conference, and traveling for a wedding, I have been left with little time to prepare for my life. For example, I began a clean out project two weeks ago, but was leaving the next day, so I didn’t have time to finish it...and STILL haven’t found the time to do so. Nor have I found time to do food prep, [...]

(this was originally posted in 2015) As today marks the beginning of Passover and the Passover Seder, I wanted to spend some time really discussing the idea of tradition. Especially the traditions in each of our different cultures. You might not realize, but the Passover Seder is a meal that is eaten in a particular order and is always a specific grouping of food (each having a different representation).

If you live in the United States, this last week has been filled with a lot of emotion.

You may have already read the post on setting up a gluten-free pantry when you made the jump and started to live gluten-free or corn-free. If you haven’t, I highly suggest it, because one of the hardest parts about beginning to eat in a new way is changing your entire lifestyle and relationship with food.
