Cute Love Text Messages For Girlfriend


I asked God for a rose & he gave me a garden. I ask God for a drop of water & he gave me an ocean. I asked God for an angel & he gave me you!


Love is not about finding the right person, but creating the right relationship. It's not about how much love you have in the beginning but how much love you build till the end, because love is all there is.


I'm not sure what life could bring you. I'm not sure if dreams do come true. I'm not sure what love can do. But I'm sure about one thing. I love you.


I'll lend you my shoulder for you to cry on, my ears to listen to, my hand for you to hold, my feet to walk with you, but I can't lend you my heart because it already belongs to you.


I believe that God above created you for me to love. He picked you out from all the rest because he knew id love you the best!



Love is two hearts beating as one.


Falling in love with you is the second best thing in the world... Finding you is the first!


Love doesn't make the world go round; it just makes the ride worthwhile.


Never rush in love for it never runs out. Let love be the one to knock at your door, so by the time you start to fall, you know that your feeling is for sure.


Love has its ups and downs, its twists and turns. Love leaves you pain, teaches you until you learn and even if love takes so long, it always takes you to where you belong.


If I could rearrange the alphabet, I'd put U and I together.


Between the thousand yesterdays and a million tomorrows, there's only one today and I wouldn't let this day pass without saying this to you - I LOVE YOU.


Love is not about finding the right person, but creating a right relationship.


If I died or went somewhere far I'd write your name on every star so everyone could look up and see you mean the world to me.


When night comes, look at the sky. If you see a falling star, don't wonder why, just make a wish. Trust me, it will come true, because I did it and I found you.


One day you'll ask me: what's more important to you, me or your life? ill say my life and you'll go and leave without even knowing that you are my life.


If love were to be taxed, I would be the highest tax payer, you can't buy Love... but you can pay heavily.


Love can touch you just one time but it can last for a lifetime.


If I had a penny for every time I thought of you, I'd still miss you, but at least I would be rich enough to come and see you!


Love is when you don't want to go to sleep because reality is better than a dream.


It's hard to find someone whom you truly love, much less to find someone who loves you as much.


Women listen to music because they are in love. Men listen to music because they want to fall in love.


I lost a tear in the sea and the day I find it is the day I stop loving you.


Love is like war... Easy to start... Difficult to end.


You don't marry someone you can live with. You marry the person who you cannot live without.


It's not about how much love you have in the beginning but how much love you build till the end.


Love is like a butterfly. It goes where it pleases and it pleases where it goes.


These were some of the best love text messages for girlfriend. These messages are sure to make your girlfriend fall in love with you again and again, so keep texting!

Banana Crunch Muffins

To contact us Click HERE



My mom used to make these delicious muffins when I was in high school that we called Banana Crunch Muffins for their lovely Crunchy top made out of Kashi Chocolate coconut Granola.  I loved those muffins but they don’t fit into my gluten free baking so I decided to make up my own version.

Ingredients
-3 cups almond flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ cup honey
- ¼ cup oil (olive, grapeseed or ghee)
- 3 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla paste + 3 drops vanilla crème stevia
- 2 bananas (peeled)
- pinch of salt
- your choice of gluten free granola (I am fortunate enough to have a roommate who makes a delicious batch of homemade gluten free granola every few weeks so that’s what I used)
- ½ cup chopped walnuts

1. Combine honey, oil, eggs, vanilla and bananas in a food processor.
2. In a large bowl whisk together almond flour, baking soda and salt. Pour wet ingredients into the large bowl. Stir with a wooden spoon until incorporated. Add walnuts and ¼ cup granola stir.
3. Prepare muffin tins with coconut oil or butter. Divide batter evenly among 6 muffins tins.
4. Bake at 350 F for five minutes. Remove from oven and sprinkle the top of each muffin with granola.
6. Bake for an additional 20- 25 minutes. If the muffin tops begins to brown too quickly you can put a sheet of aluminum foil over the muffins and put them bake in the oven to continue baking.


Vanilla Coconut Cookies

To contact us Click HERE
Sorry for the break in posts.  I've been sick the past week and there's no point in making delicious food if I can't enjoy it! I made these last night and they are all almost gone already. With only five ingredients, these cookies are fail proof.



Ingredients
- 2 cup shredded unsweetened coconut (the only place I can find the unsweetened kind is Whole Foods)
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup raw honey
- 2 eggs
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla paste or vanilla extract

1. Preheat oven to 350 F.
2. Mix all ingredients in a bowl.
3. Grab about 1/4 cup of dough for each cookie. Roll into a ball and use your palms to flatten each ball into a patty. Lay each patty on a cookie sheet prepared with parchment paper.
4. Bake for 15- 18 minutes, rotating pan once during bake time.
5. Serve warm!

Crab Salad Wrapped in Nori with Veggie Noodles

To contact us Click HERE



I decided to make an Asian inspired meal for our Friday night dinner. I also splurged on some fresh Dungeness crab since it's in season. This can also be made with canned crab meat which is much cheaper.

Ingredients (For Crab Rolls)
- 1- 1.5 pounds (cooked) crab meat (shredded and water squeezed out)
- 4 scallions (chopped)
- 1 1/2 tablespoons parsley (chopped)
- squeeze of lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons mayo (I made my own Paleo mayo which I will include a recipe of ASAP)
- sprinkle of salt and pepper
- Nori sheets (available at Safeway and WholeFoods)
- 2 avocados (sliced)
- 1 Bell pepper (sliced)

1. Combine crab meat, scallions, parsley, lemon juice, mayo, salt and pepper in a bowl. Toss to combine.
2. Arrange a large spoonful or two of crab salad in the middle of a nori sheet. Place sliced veggies (in this case red pepper and bell pepper) on top of crab. Add additional mayo if desired. Roll up into a hand roll.

Serve with zucchini noodles and top noodles with sriracha.

Dijon Marinated Chicken Legs

To contact us Click HERE




Threw this together for a last minute dinner. Used up a lot of leftover veggies too!

Ingredients
-3 chicken legs with thighs attached
- 2 1/2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
-1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

1. Rub chicken legs with all ingredients. Allow to marinate for at least 20 minutes, preferably for a few hours.
2. Grill on medium-high for 3 minutes on each side.
3. Finish in the oven at 375 F.


Served above with kale sauteed in balsamic vinegar, steamed broccoli, and baked carrots!

Gluten- Free Donuts!!!

To contact us Click HERE
Donuts with Caramel topping (Admittedly, I should have let them cool more before I put on the topping!) 


I've seen soooo many adorable homemade donuts on Pintrest that I just had to try some of my own. The problem is that most of these recipes contain gluten.  What's a gluten free girl to do? After some research, I found some promising gluten free donut recipes. True to form, I changed them a little bit.  I swear I can't follow a recipe from start to finish without making my own substitutions. I always want to change something but that's part of the fun of cooking, making it your own. I hope you enjoy these as much as I did! Before you get started make sure to buy a donut pan.  Shockingly they weren't available at the Williams-Sonoma in Los Gatos (Isn't that place supposed to have everything??!!?!) but they were in stock at Sur La Table for only $10.95 for a 6 donut pan.  I'm actually glad they weren't available at William-Sonoma because the average half dozen pan at Williams-Sonoma goes for over $30.00 so Sur La Table is way better bet.

Ingredients
- 1/2 cup coconut flour plus 1 1/2 tablespoons
- 1/4 cup almond flour
- 1/4 salt- 1/4 baking soda
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- 6 eggs
- 1/2 cup raw honey
- 1/4 cup coconut oil (melted in the microwave)
- 1/4 cup unsweetened apple sauce
- 1 teaspoon vanilla poaste plus three drops vanilla creme stevia

Icing recipes after the dough instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease a donut pan with coconut oil.
2. Mix all dry ingredients in a bowl. Whisk to combine. In a separate bowl whisk all wet ingredients to combine.
3. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients. Stir to combine. Let sit for 3 minutes to thicken. If the dough is too runny add coconut flour by one teaspoon at a time. Coconut flour absorbs moisture a lot quicker than any other kind of flour so it should make your dough thicker when even a small amount is added.
4. Place the batter in a plastic bag and cut a small hole off the corner.
5. Use the bag to squeeze dough into donut pan.
6. Put in oven and bake for 18- 22 minutes. Rotate pan once during the baking time.
7. Remove from oven and allow to cool for 1-2 minutes. Flip pan onto a cooling rack and allow to cool before spreading icing on the donuts. If they do not cool down your icing will melt off the donuts. This is especially true with the type of icings featured on my website so let them cool!!

"Caramel" Topping 

Ingredients- 6 tablespoons raw honey
- 2 tablespoons nut butter (I used almond butter)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla paste

1. Place honey in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir for 4 minutes. Honey will begun to bubble.
2, Add nut butter and vanilla and continue stirring for 1-2 minutes. The longer you cook the mixture the thicker it will get.
3. Remove pan from heat and spread on donuts.


Vanilla Cream Icing
- 1 1/2 cup raw cashews, soaked for three hours, water discarded- 3/4cup fresh apple juice- 3 Medjool dates, pitted removed- 1 ½ TBS honey- 4 drops vanilla crème stevia extract
 - ¼ teaspoon vanilla paste


The Vanilla Creme icing is featured in my Harvest Cake Recipe Post.  If you liked it on the cake you will probably like it with the donuts too. 

Making Beef Stock

To contact us Click HERE
Beef broth ready to be frozen and beef tallow




I try not to waste anything in the kitchen. One of the best ways to get the most out of your meat and veggies is to use left over bones and veggies to make broth.  I made beef stock for the first time this week and as an added bonus, you can also render the beef tallow off the top of the stock to use as delicious cooking oil. Here's how...

Ingredients
- 6 rib bones (I used left over ones from dinner)
- 2 1/2 - 3 pounds  beef knuckle bones (basically any bones with a lot of marrow, I purchased mine at the butcher for very cheap.)
-1 white onion (cut in fourths, with skins on)
- 1/2 red onion (cut in half, with skins on)
- 2 large carrots (cut into 2 in. pieces)
- 2 stalks of celery (cut into 2 in. pieces)
- 4 cloves of garlic ( crushed)
- 1 tablespoon dried parsley

- 8 whole peppercorns
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon vinegar
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 1 bay leaf
- tomato paste

1. Brush the knuckle bones with tomato paste and roast for 30 mins at 350 F rotating once. When the bones are done, place them in the crock pot and add all other ingredients.
2. Pour water into the crock pot until the all the ingredients are covered. Set crock pot on low and cook for 24 hours. 

3. When the broth is done cooking, strain the broth so that only the liquid remains. Place broth in fridge and let sit over night. 
4. The next morning the broth will have separated from the fat (beef tallow). The fat will have rose to the top and formed a hard yellow layer. This layer can be scooped off with a spoon.   I place the beef tallow in bowl and reserve as cooking oil. I freeze the broth for later use. 



Book Recommendation: The Flavor Bible

To contact us Click HERE






I recently received this book as a birthday gift from my roommate.  The Flavor Bible is a great guide to building ANY original recipe. I can almost never follow a recipe exactly because I like to improvise.  TFB allows me to improvise a recipe using the guidelines of some of the best chefs in the country. I would recommend this book for more experienced cooks who want to experiment with new flavor and texture combinations. I also have been able to explore less common ingredients without spending hours clicking through a million Google search results, many of which offer unoriginal recipe suggestions. TFB is also a great resource for Paleo eaters who want to come up with new Paleo ingredient combinations.  Consider it for your next cookbook purchase! You won't be disappointed!

MIGHTY FINE Blog Tour -Out in Theaters May 25th!

To contact us Click HERE
Have you ever been to a movie premiere? I have never been to a real live premiere but just recently attended one online.  I hope this is the newest trend because it was a lot of fun! I was invited to attend the event with other bloggers. Not only did we get to watch the movie together from the comfort of our own home but we had a chat window! So we got to chat, make comments, etc during the movie! Really, it was a blast. Then if that wasn't enough excitement we had a Q & A session right after the film with the Director and two of the actors!

The movie, Mighty Fine is a film based in the 1970's on writer/director Debbie Goodstein's childhood experiences with anger, aggression and how that played out in her family.  The family moved from Brooklyn to New Orleans in search of a better life. The father, Joe Fine (Chazz Palminteri) knew that his business would do better in Louisiana vs. New York. Joe loves his wife, Stella (Andie MacDowell) and daughters (Jodelle Ferland and Rainey Qualley) and does his best to care for them while struggling with outburst of explosive, rage-filled anger. His mood swings happen around his family which leaves them always in a state of uncertainty.

I love independent small budget, feel good movies. I really think that they do a better job at telling stories. This movie, Mighty Fine fits into that category. The egg shell walking Fine family has a story that unfolds scene by scene and will keep your attention from the beginning to the end. The movie is about domestic violence. I grew up in a family with violence issues so I could easily related to emotional issues of the film. It is very real. It isn't all feel good but you do learn the power of a loving family which to me, fits in that category.

I'm a huge fan of the 70s so I was impressed with the setting, clothes, cars, furniture,  historical relevance of the times (Elvis concert) including the disco ball that gets taken off the moving van in this film.  The writer/director is telling her personal story and it is one worth watching.

Being apart of the Mighty Fine Blog Tour was great!  After the movie we had a Q & A time with the director. She told us they filmed in 17 days, struggled with New Orleans black mold and hurricane season! Chazz Palminteri and Jodelle Ferland also chatted with us. I didn't even think of taking a screen shot but I did take 2 pictures with my cell phone! Here are the pictures and a few points from the movie from the actors.

  • Chazz enjoyed the challenge of acting as a bipolar dad and worked with the onset psychologist.
  • He is very funny!
  • He doesn't care if the audience likes the character he plays. He is more concerned with being true to the character


  • The movie was told through the voice of her character when she was older. 
  • Jodelle usually plays darker roles (you might recognize her from Eclipse) so this was something different for her.

Being a small film, it will only be found in select movie theaters. Check the schedule to see where it will be near you! Go see this Might Fine movie! Even thought I already saw it, I will go see it with my movie buddy. We love seeing these type of movies.  Watch the trailer below & check it out on Facebook, too!








I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for MightyFine and the distributor. I received access to an online showing of the film and a promotional item to thank me for participating

May is National Celiac Awareness Month

To contact us Click HERE
USANA Gluten-Free Chocolate Cake by Dr. Nancy Steely (recipe will be posted tomorrow)

How familiar are you with Celiac Disease? Do you know anyone with the disease? I heard that people think it is a fad but it isn't. The below article is very informative. I am familiar with the Disease but I did not know that over 3 million Americans live and struggle with this disease. 

Here are Dr. Nancy Steely’s takeaway tips and information to take note of this National Celiac Awareness Month:·         Those with Celiac Disease experience an immune reaction to gluten (a protein found in wheat, rye, and barley) that causes damage to their small intestine and poor absorption of nutrients. This is in addition to a wide range of seemingly random symptoms, such as muscle cramping, diarrhea or constipation, fatigue, skin rashes, joint pain and so on that can also occur.·         Why are the symptoms so varied? Dr. Steely explained it’s because Celiac Disease is an auto-immune condition in which your body attacks your own cells, so how it manifests in each person is different. That’s also why it’s often misdiagnosed. In fact, according to the National Foundation for Celiac Awareness, people usually go 6-10 years before they’re correctly diagnosed and about 95% of celiacs today are undiagnosed or misdiagnosed with other conditions.·         A patient diagnosed with Celiac Disease is different from someone who simply has gluten sensitivities, where negative reactions to gluten exist without visible damage to the small intestines. The numbers suggest that about 3 million Americans have CD while another 40 million Americans have gluten sensitivities. “Many people find it difficult to digest gluten, and they simply feel better by eating a gluten-free diet,” explains Dr. Steely.·          If you have a chronic health condition that doctors cannot seem to diagnose, get tested for Celiac Disease. It’s better to rule it out than suffer longer than you need to.

Vidalia Onion Pie

To contact us Click HERE
Being born and raised in the south how have I never had, much less even heard of, Vidalia Onion Pie? I'm not sure, but once a coworker mentioned this in the office I knew I had to try it! Who wouldn't love a savory pie made of sweet vidalia onions, filled with a light egg mixture, and baked to perfect fluffiness? I know I would!

My coworker passed on the recipe she uses, Paula Deen's. I took a quick look and knew this would be a piece of cake...or should I say a piece of pie! ;-) After discussing this delicious treat with my boss we thought maybe adding some cheese would make this the pie even better. In comes the parmesean!

So with a lot of inspiration from Paula Deen and my coworkers I present you.........
Vidalia Onion Pie 
 One area of the pie was left without bacon for another coworker.
Ingredients:1 large Vidalia onion, thinly sliced                                       6 slices of bacon2 tablespoons of butter                                                       2 eggssmall 8 oz container of sour cream                                      1/2 cup of milk  salt                                                                                     1 pie shellParmesan cheese                                                     3 big spoonfuls of flour,                                              (appox. 3 tablespoons, I can never find a measuring spoon!)
1.  Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
2.  Cook 6 pieces of bacon to well done. You want them crispy because you'll be crumbling them later.
3.  As soon as the bacon is finished remove it from the grease and immediately add your onions to the pan. I also added 2 tablespoons of butter.
4.  Saute the onions in the bacon grease until they are really soft and not quite browned.
5.  In a mixing bowl, whisk together 2 eggs and 3 big spoonfuls of flour.
6.  Add 1/2 cup of milk, 1 small container of sour cream (8 oz.), and a few sprinkles of salt. Mix all these ingredients together until the mixture is really smooth.
7.  Layer your sauted onions in the bottom of the pie crust. Then top the onions with your egg mixture. I had a little extra egg mixture. If you're using a deep dish crust, it should fill it right up.
8.  Top the uncooked pie with a generous handful of shredded parmesean cheese. Then top with crumbled bacon.
9.  Bake for 40 minutes or until the pie is firm in the middle.
10.  Remove your pie from the oven and let it cool.
11.  Slice and serve***If your pie crust starts to brown too soon, cover the crust with a thin piece of aluminum foil.
