whole family : guilt free chocolate cake


Happy Thanksgiving, friends.  We are off to spend the whole day with both sides of our family and have a lot of driving ahead of us.

After seeing this post a few days ago, I just couldn't help myself and needed to satisfy my chocolate cake craving.  The recipe can be found over at Teresa's place.  Both are fantastic blogs to spend some time getting inspired in!  The recipe is high in protein, grain-free, gluten-free, heart healthy and dairy-free... just to name a few.  It's also jam packed with nutrients, so don't even begin to feel bad about eating that last piece.

We'll be back soon, but for now we're signing off to take a few days to be thankful with each other.

      I wanted something a bit more personal, so I drew something up really quick. Glad you like it! I was unsure of it, but I think I'll keep it for a while :)

    Oh! Looks so lovely! I'm a relatively new reader, and am so captivated by your photography. I love coming across artists who have a strong personal style.
    Now I'm off to dream about chocolate.

My little may flower. Saturday night, the air was warm and sticky.  Sofia, Erick and I read stories by a big window fan in her room trying to distract ourselves from the heat in our upstairs apartment. ...
