  • I am putting all of you on notice for not telling me about skillet cookies! ⠀
.⠀
.⠀
.⠀
My life is forever changed. This bad boy is tahini chocolate chip - it’s flourless and the main ingredient is a revelation. 😉⠀
⠀
.⠀
.⠀
.⠀
You’ll definitely want to add some ice cream on top! And there is a tahini maple drizzle situation that is pretty epic. Full recipe linked in profile. 😎😎😎⠀

  • Last week I wasn’t feeling so hot, so I put on my cozies made a cup of tea and snuggled up in bed around 8pm. Within 10 minutes Jordan came in, sat in the chair by the bed, and started chatting me up. After about 30 minutes I looked at him and said, don’t you want to go make yourself dinner? Or watch a show? ⠀
No, he said, I just want to be in here and talk to you.⠀
After 16 years we are each others person in every way. He is the man I want to start and end my day with. He is the one I want to wander the world with.⠀
He puts up with my trash tv and quinoa salads and I put up with his shoot-em-ups and pasta obsession. @jordanschehrdesign 💗⠀
Happy Valentine’s Day Insta-fam. I hope you are filled with love today and always. ⠀

  • Remember that pound of hibiscus I accidentally bought? Did the same thing with chamomile. So... I’ll be putting chamomile in everything from now on. ⠀
Starting with gluten free chamomile cupcakes. Perfect for your love 💕 ⠀
Recipe 👇🏻👇🏻⠀
.⠀
.⠀
INGREDIENTS⠀
DRY INGREDIENTS⠀
1/2 cup coconut flour⠀
2 tbsp chamomile flowers, chopped (optional)⠀
1 tsp baking powder⠀
1/2 tsp sea salt⠀
WET INGREDIENTS⠀
1/2 cup unsalted butter (Vegan butter or coconut oil will also work)⠀
4 tbsp coconut milk⠀
3 tbsp dried chamomile (or 3 chamomile tea bags)⠀
2 tsp vanilla extract⠀
2/3 cup coconut palm sugar⠀
6 large eggs⠀
FROSTING⠀
Whipped Coconut Cream⠀
Drizzle Honey (optional)⠀
⠀
INSTRUCTIONS⠀
🌼Preheat oven to 350°. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with 10 paper cupcake liners.⠀
🌼In a medium bowl combine dry ingredients, whisk well to incorporate. (The chopped chamomile flowers are optional)⠀
🌼In a small saucepan over medium-low heat combine butter and coconut milk, when butter has melted add chamomile flowers or chamomile tea bags. Remove from heat and allow to steep for 10-15 minutes. If using loose chamomile flowers after 15 minutes strain mixture through a fine mesh strainer, into a large bowl (if using tea bags simply remove the tea bags and add mixture to a large bowl)⠀
🌼Whisk coconut palm sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract into butter chamomile mixture.⠀
🌼Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and whisk well to combine. Allow mixture to sit for 15 minutes so as to allow coconut flour to absorb some of the moisture.⠀
🌼Divide the batter among 10 liners filling to 3/4 full.⠀
🌼Bake the cupcakes in the center rack of the oven for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.⠀
🌼Allow cupcakes to cool in pan for 5-10 minutes. Turn them out of the pan and allow to cool completely on a rack before frosting.⠀
🌼Frost the cupcakes with your favorite frosting, I used homemade coconut cream frosting ⠀
🌼Optional: Top cupcakes with chamomile flowers and a drizzle of honey⠀

  • For the first 25 years of my life I thought all tacos were made of ground beef in a hard shell with shredded lettuce, cheese, and tomato. ⠀
.⠀
I grew up in Pennsylvania, it’s the states fault. ⠀
.⠀
.⠀
My taco education began when I moved to NYC, but truly only started 8 months ago in Mexico. I feel sorry for myself, all those years not knowing the deliciousness of this genius food. ⠀
.⠀
.⠀
I get it now and I have a lot of lost time to make up for. ⠀
