A Glimpse into Soap Making in Brooklyn!

A Glimpse into Soap Making in Brooklyn!
I was invited by my friend Jo Anne from Peony Rose Botanicals to join in on her soap making class this weekend. Many steps go into soap making, more than you realize! 

Check out the video below:

Pre-Valentine's Day Gluten Free Lunch

Decided to take a "snow day" and rest. We have been working seven days a weeks since Thanksgiving! As they say, "It goes with the territory." That's what happens when you are a small business owner, but never mind that! So a late lunch it is...let's make it special xo.

Super Bowl Sunday Gluten Free Food Prep ~ Hail Rosemary!

It's Super Bowl Sunday and my husband and I had decided to start our food prep a little early and test out our new FoodSaver machine. 
I hope you have as much fun watching this "video story" of how our night progressed...and on and on...and on...it was a very long night. But as we are determined and yes, stubborn individuals we made it happen. Lisa :)

Gluten Free Baked Apples when No Pies are Allowed!

Its in the middle of winter and the groundhog saw his shadow. So that means it's time for tasty winter treats. My favorite...baked apples. Not only does it taste great but the added aroma through out the house is a bonus.

For this recipe you need the following:

Three Apples - I use red delicious
Olive Oil for Dairy Free Option and Goat Butter for Lactose Intolerant.
I used Meyenberg Goat Milk Butter
Simply Organic Cinnamon
Simply Organic Nutmeg
Morton and Bassett Organic Vanilla Extract 

Peel, and core all the apples. You can take all your frustrations of the day out on those poor apples. Don't worry they won't feel a thing!

Grease the pan with the olive oil or goat butter. I have to tell you I have been dairy free for a long time and just introduced sheep and goat dairy into my diet. The goat butter (when you haven't had it in a while) is like filet mignon!!
Now get over the butter dreams in your head and add the apples.
Pour one tablespoon over the apple slices. 
Sprinkle with cinnamon and nutmeg.
Bake at 350 degrees for one hour.

A Beautiful Smelly Mess!

Serve hot over unsweetened coconut yogurt. I love the brand "So Delicious!"
Enjoy! I know I will :)

No martini for me!

It's February and I just can't get the news straight on how many weeks left until Spring. Punxsutawney Phil predicts 6 more weeks of winter while Staten Island Chuck says Spring will be here before we know it. 

I'm home from the shop drinking my nightly detox tea wishing it was a Martini like our beloved groundhog pictured above. Long story short, I'm allergic to toxins and alcohol is a toxin. So on with my herbal tea. Cheers!
