Happy Halloween!!! I cannot believe that tomorrow is November 1st, and that Derika and I have been living in NYC for 2 months already…where has the year gone!? The weather is starting to get chilly in NYC, and it is really starting to make me miss sunny San Diego and the amazing farmer’s markets that happen all year there. When Derika and I lived in San Diego, we use to go to the farmer’s market twice a week to pick… Read more »

Not Your Granny’s Granola
Mmmmmm….granola, but gluten-free granola…who knew!? I love this granola by itself or sprinkled on my greek yogurt with some chia seeds. You might find that this is so addicting, that it is hard not to grab a handful every time you walk past the jar! I started playing around with my own gluten-free granola recipe after I started buying Steve’s Paleo Krunch. Steve’s granola is super tasty, but when you form an addiction like I did…it can get a little pricey…. Read more »
