Whole Wheat Griddlecakes with Blueberry Orange Compote
There’s nothing better than a stack of warm pancakes to start the weekend. Since I was a little Dana, my mother would only get me up in the morning to go to school if she gave me a stack of pancakes. Even though it was pitch black and I was trying to stay in bed, […]

Pomegranate Lime Spritzers
Last year, this blog did not exist. John was halfway through his law degree in a city he detested, and our lives as we had planned them were not what we’d expected. The funny thing is that all of our circumstances were a direct result of decisions we made, either actively or passively. We were […]

The majority of smoothies I have made in recent times contain whey powder or yogurt, which means they are not suitable for my dairy-free test run. This recipe was a sort of experiment. In my jammies, I tried […]
