Read all the details and background of the Rum Scone saga here. Or cut to the chase and see the recipe below 😉 I originally tried this recipe with vanilla and using a new vanilla technique but found that the rum flavor overpowered the vanilla seeds and so it wasn’t a worthwhile use of...
Adding Instead of Subtracting and Paleo Banana Muffins
I’ve mentioned on this blog before that I (Lacy) was diagnosed with an eating disorder when I started seeing a therapist last summer after the death of my father. From a purely scientific perspective, it’s been a fascinating process — looking at all my weird idiosyncrasies when it comes to food, discovering the strange...

Stay In This Valentine’s Day: Surf ‘n Turf for Two
Valentine’s Day! It’s about showing the people you love how much you love them, getting impossible dinner reservations, booking a babysitter six months in advance, wearing uncomfortable “sexy” clothes, paying through the nose for a “prix fixe” menu, getting sideways glances from the waitstaff if you linger too long (because they’re worried about their...

Laughing Lemon Field Trip: New Whole Foods Bradburn
The Laughing Lemon team was recently invited to check out the newest Whole Foods in our area – Bradburn! It’s in Westminster – 120th between Sheridan & Federal. Lots to love there. First off, it is big! I’m talking 35,000 square feet big. It features a special and specialty cheese counter, sushi made fresh...
Pumpkin Bread French Toast
For as long as I can remember, I’ve had an almost total lack of long-term memory. Get it? Bwahaha. 😀 The great thing about having no long-term memory is that you can surprise yourself with things you technically already know: “Who made this gumbo in the freezer? I guess it was me. Score!”…and…hmmm…I can’t...
