We’re Juicing!
This summer two very exciting things happened… We had a BABY! We also finally jumped on the juicing bandwagon. (Yes, the first was kind of WAY more important.)

Blackberry Lavender Scones
If you had to pick 5 fruits you couldn’t live without, what would they be? I know, it’s a difficult question. Did you forget strawberries? Peaches? Blueberries? Watermelon? Well, those are on my top list (especially watermelon, which happens to be my favorite food. Not just fruit…food!)
Perfect Egg Salad with Homemade Mayo and Lacto-Fermented Pickles {Gluten Free and Grain Free Option}
