Pizza Dough by Heart

June 30, 2018

I haven’t made pizza dough in over a year. I used to make it all the time, at least once a week like clockwork. I’d pull out the old Betty Crocker Cookbook because, even though I made the dough week after week, I never memorized the recipe. But I liked pulling out that old book. My father-in-law sent it to my husband, along with a half-dozen others, when Adam applied to be a firefighter. He hadn’t been hired yet, but my father-in-law must have had a hunch that he would. Every firefighter needs …

Why I Started Whole30 and Quit (and What I’m Doing Instead)

January 15, 2015

why I quit whole 30 challenge

I read a lot about Whole30 over the summer. I had seen a few folks online do the challenge successfully, not just to give their bodies a chance to reset but also to explore their relationships with gluten, sugar, and dairy, among other things. At the time, I was interested enough to read about it, but not interested enough to try. I like sugar! I like wine! I like gluten! So it wasn't until the calendar turned over that I felt like maybe it was time to give it a shot. If you don't know what …
