Almond Flour Shortbread Cookies

Today Lion and I took advantage of nap time to try a new recipe we found online. Our quest for a new recipe came after going through the pantry and realizing we have a very large bag of almond flour we need to use up. A quick google search of “almond flour cookies” gave us…

Seitan 2 ways

I have recently (in the last year or so) discovered seitan whilst going through a divine cookbook Mostly Plants by the Pollan family. After reading the cookbook cover to cover I diligently placed markers into all the recipes I wanted to try first! This particular recipe was number one on my list – and let…

Lion’s Cooking Show

Good Morning Super Smoothie

Smoothies are a wonderful way to start the day – as well as a wonderful way to sneak extra greens and nutrients into your (or a kiddos) diet! In our house we are huge fans of kale smoothies. I love the vibrant and slightly peppery flavor profile kale adds to our smoothies – not to…
