Happy Spring everyone! It is pouring like crazy in CT, but it is a good night. For the first time in 4 months (a.k.a ever), I am handing over the reigns in the kitchen and allowing a guest chef (Ryan). I am surprisingly calm which is pretty impressive given my OCD control-freak personality :)It turns out that sometimes I do need a little help, and I am glad to have it! I have been prepping like crazy for my Kickstarter campaign to launch, and the official countdown is on. I was planning to launch early tomorrow morning, but the approval process is taking longer than expected. I will keep you posted, but it may be a Friday/Saturday launch instead. The Kickstarter campaign is for my first cookbook "Bowls of Love: Paleo Soups for the Seasons" and I could not be more excited! I have been writing recipes and working with an incredible photographer Erica (www.ericagannett.com). A lot more information is to come, so stay posted, and follow me on twitter @sooopaleo to get all the updates!
The blog has been resting for a while, so I figured it was only right to bring it back with a delicious dessert. You can easily adjust this recipe to make more or less depending on how many people you are cooking for. If you don't have ramekins, you can bake this all together in a bread pan or small square baking dish. If you are really feeling crazy, you can even make a single serving! Enjoy and stay tuned for more news on my cookbook Bowls of Love!
