About Me

Starting a blog was essential for me. I have been eating Paleo for over 2 years now! In addition to experimenting daily with new recipes, I am an interior designer and own a HUGE consignment store in Kalamazoo, MI. I am also an avid gardener and treasure hunter. Did I mention I love a great bargain?! A piece of furniture that needs a coat of paint, or a found object that screams to be repurposed. "Reuse, repurpose and recycle" is not just a cliche, it is a way of life! I have searched for a word that encompasses MY life. Maybe it has not yet been created. Maybe this blog will help me find it.

TIPS:
T = Tablespoon
t = teaspoon
* I make my own almond flour by putting raw blanched almonds in a food processor until flour-like.  It saves money and only takes an extra minute or two!
