Winter Lament
breakfast: gluten-free french toast
lunch: pasta primavera
dinner: sweet potato, cabbage, raw milk
Today feels like the first day of winter since winter actually started. It's cold and windy. There have been a few raindrops. Winter is always my favorite season, so it's kind of sad to not have it this year.
Whenever I drive by the reservoir near my house, I can see the bottom. I don't know what this bodes for this spring/summer. It would be nice if it would start to rain more, if winter would truly appear.

January 20
breakfast: granola
lunch: aloo gobi
snack: popcorn
dinner: eggplant with ginger-garlic sauce, tempeh with stir-fried vegetables
Today's supposed to be the last day of the heat wave. It's so strange to look outside and see Spring. All the plants are sprouting new growth. Blooms are open. It's absolutely gorgeous. But thankfully, the warmth is going to end and be replaced by some much needed rain.
I've always loved the rain. I love the sound of it. I love how it cleans everything off. It just relaxes me. :)

Heavenly Caramels
Devil in an Apron's caramels are so good. They're traditional caramels made with sugar and cream - NO corn syrup! Yeah! That alone makes them taste better than virtually every other caramel on the market. But when you add in the flavors - real vanilla bean, cocoa nibs, dried lavender, and many more - they're simply amazing. They're definitely the best I've had.
My only complaint with the caramels is that one of the flavors isn't vegetarian - bacon. It's very easy to tell from the other flavors (the bacon is almost black while the others are a light brown), but it would be nice if the company would sell bacon-free packages of their caramels for vegetarians.
I secretly hope that one day Devil in an Apron decides to do to their caramels what they do with practically everything else they make - cover them in dark chocolate. Dark chocolate covered caramels have always been my favorite candy and so few people do it well. These caramels with the quality of chocolate that Devil in an Apron uses would be a guaranteed success.

breakfast: gluten-free muffin, raw milk
lunch: stomach didn't feel well, so I didn't eat
dinner: lentil and farro soup
I skipped working out today. My stomach just isn't feeling right. Hopefully, it'll be back to normal soon.
I haven't really know what to write in these posts lately. Maybe something will come to me... If you have any ideas, let me know.

Perfecting Gluten-Free, Wheat-Free Muffins
breakfast: granola
lunch: salad, roasted cauliflower and potatoes
snack: muffin with raw butter
dinner: baked unstuffed shells, swiss chard, carrots
I think I've finally perfected a gluten-free/wheat-free muffin recipe. The key seems to be soaking the grains in either buttermilk or yogurt to soften them and bring out the flavor. It also has the added benefit of reducing phytic acid and increasing mineral absorption. This time I soaked them for 24 hours and they came so soft, tender and fluffy - just like the real thing.

This new year is flying. It's amazing how fast everything is going by. Do you remember how when you were growing up things just took forever? The time between Thanksgiving and Christmas seemed to last for months. Now, it's just over before you know it.
