Double Chocolate Paleo Gooey Cake
As you can guess from the title, this recipe is all things good in the world: chocolate, gooey, cake, yes. They’re also grain-free and accidentally egg-free. I went to add in the egg and we were OUT OF EGGS. Emergency crisis. I ended up giving them a whirl anyway, and the result is dense, fudge-y…

The Pilot’s famous lasagna
Buddy the Elf! I KNOW HIM. (The Pilot took that pic while Buddy was screaming in my face, and I was laughing hysterically. He then hugged me and asked, “What’s your favorite color?”) We went to check out Winter Wonderland at Petco Park, and had a blast. Liv was totally awestruck by the gorgeous light…

Maple Chocolate Kiss Cookies (gluten-free)

I look forward to it every year. I think I’ll always remember our first year in Valdosta, when…
