Hi, I'm Denise. Everyone deserves a seat at the table! I merge my professional training as a pastry chef and functional nutritionist to bring you the best paleo, AIP and gluten free desserts and dinners. If I'm not in the kitchen whipping up something new chances are I am out on an adventure with my groom.

Ya’ll! It’s ma bird-day 🥳🥳🥳 and I’m

Ya’ll! It’s ma bird-day 🥳🥳🥳 and I’m all up in here doing the things I love. (Mostly) Restocking the chocolate chips I use for making cookies for Espresso Chalet, I got a massage (routine but great timing), talked with friends, baking and counting the minutes till my groom comes home from work! 🤵🏻‍♂️🚗💨💨💨

I DO love chocolate although it doesn’t always love me back. #rude I sourced these chips from good ‘ol Costco for affordability and access but their list of minimal ingredients is on point! All the extra things are just NOT necessary. Give your favorite package the one over and see what your favorite food manufacturer is slipping into your desserts. Treats are ok, slippery ingredients, not so much. #mkay 👀🤌🏼

If ya’ll know me at all, you know I love love LOVE me a chocolate chip cookie. They make the world go round. 🍫🍪🦸🏻‍♂️

Also I was today days old when I made my first reel. I swore I would never do this but my video app suggested it. 🐑🐑🐑

What’s your favorite cookie? 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻🫵🏼

What's under your tree this year? 🎄 ⁣ Buying

What's under your tree this year? 🎄
⁣
Buying high quality, well sourced food is important to me. I understand not everyone has the same financial means or priorities but for us, it's important AND a priority. We are blessed. 🙌🏼
⁣
But I'm like everyone else in that if I find a special promotion, sale, discount or black Friday/cyber Monday deal, I jump. Supporting small business' is also important to me. While big business offers the best deal, small business' is where it's at. They offer us variety, quality and the ever elusive integrity. 😬
⁣
For years my colleagues and friends have sung the praises of @kasadrinos olive oil but let me tell ya a little secret. I don't like olives. 😑 Neither does my groom. #solidarity But I do like cooking with it. Now I realize what I didn't like was all the other olive oils. I legit could drink this. 👀🍸
⁣
This was one of a few wellness treats to ourselves this Christmas. I got these two 1 liter bottles to start off my subscription but you don't have to subscribe. Go ahead and just get you a single bottle. I highly encourage you to give this stuff a go. You won't go back to that store bought stuff. The Greeks know olives. 🍾 At least these ones do. 😘
⁣
How will you support your wellness through the holidays?

Whelp, it's official! We sold the our beautifully

Whelp, it's official! We sold the our beautifully renovated 23'TT and moved into a sticks and bricks for the winter. We prayed and the opportunity came. We knew we were ready to transition out of our "cozy" rental lot in Lake Stevens and move on to other endeavors.⁠
⁠
We are definitely not cut out to have neighbors 10 feet from our trailer and we might be ready to stretch ourselves in other ways. We have 6 months to figure out a plan for what's next but for now, we couldn't be happier. ⁠
⁠
This little gem belongs to some friends who have decided to winter in Hawaii. I wouldn't mind an excursion to the islands but really, right now, this is our little bite of heaven back in our "hometown" of Index, in the foothills of the cascades. Views of mountains, a roaring river and close to the best coffee around.⁠
⁠
We are not done with RV life...ut uh...no way. We'll be shopping early next year for our next one and figure out what to do from there. 2020 got nothing on us. Now to figure out a new normal, create a new routine and get our footing. Plus chop wood...a LOT of wood...we heat via wood stove. I like this new learning curve.⁠

Just a little PSA to remind you to support local farmers markets wherever you travel. 🌎
It keeps money local, supports local business and allows you to develop relationships the old fashioned way. 😯😆😬

Who doesn't love a little charcuterie over a weeke

Who doesn't love a little charcuterie over a weekend? 👀

It's doesn't have to be a holiday or really, even a weekend to roll out the little meat, cheese and crackers on a plate with a fancy title! 🏆
With ranier cherries in season we were all twitterpated with the deliciousness of this spread. Locally made Soppressata and herb and goat cheese and manchego kept us satiated and nourished. 🐐🧀🇺🇸
Making nourishing choices doesn't always mean heating up the kitchen. Summer is the perfect time to keep it simple with fresh fruits, salads and smoothies too. 😍

Nuture on friends! 👫

Happy 5th Anniversary to my groom and best friend.

Happy 5th Anniversary to my groom and best friend.
We are having a blast celebrating and getting out traveling for the first time in months.
Mountains for a few days and now the coastline, beaches, tidepools and substandard coffee. ☕😩
I love you plus all the wind today @carrellexcursions.
