I have been making these brownies for years. I just took them to book club and my friends asked if the recipe was on my blog, so thought I should actually share these since I make them so often. Everyone loves them, and the fact that they are healthier than your typical brownie. On THIS post I shared why I eat Paleo. I should say used to eat strict Paleo. Now I eat maybe 90% Paleo- I eat oatmeal and am not as strict while I have been nursing. But when I was strict and whenever I would make a dessert everyone would ask me "Are these PALEO??" before they ate it. My mom...sorry to say it Mom but ... Read More
Gift Idea for the Cook
I have a confession...I rarely cook. When my husband is home he does the cooking. I don't mind cooking, I just don't like to spend my time doing it. When I do cook I like to make things that don't take longer than about 30 minutes, so I can move onto something else. My husband travels for weeks at a time in the beginning of the year. I think having a service like Blue Apron deliver all the ingredients for a healthy meal with easy to follow instructions would be a great gift idea for me:) or anyone else that has a busy schedule with not a lot of time to grocery shop- or the desire! We ... Read More
Fall Day Apple Picking with Gilt Clothing
We like to dedicate at least one night a week for family time. It is a night that we can play and really connect. Focus on what is important. Family.

We have really been looking forward to apple picking in the fall. It is basically THE perfect family fall outing in my eyes. I love the crisp air, the smell of popcorn and pumpkin donuts and anticipating what we will do with all of our delicious apples. We went apple picking the other ... Read More

Succulents, Cookies and Shopping
I shared last blog post how excited I was that my mom was in town. She flew in Friday night and just flew out today. It is always sad to see her leave. She is just such a joy to be around. She is happy doing whatever we are doing, so easy going and helpful. The girls went back to school today giving my mom and I some time to go shopping at one of our favorite spots, Shop Terrain. I brought my camera along and snapped some pictures of things that inspired me. From succulents, fall colors, bees, dishes, cutting boards, smells and food...always food. It was a perfect September day, the weather ... Read More
