Thank you all for your kind comments on Aila's birthday. If there's one thing that makes a loss-mama's heart sing, it's hearing their sweet child's name be spoken by others.

We ate lots of fresh summer produce and salads this week, it was over 100 quite a few days! And scroll down to see why we couldn't eat dinner one night 😉

“If wind blows out the birthday candles, we’ll know it’s Aila blowing them out from heaven.”
I shared Aila’s birthday cake recipe and a blogpost. Thank you for all of the comments and love you showed our girl on her special day. ? You can see the recipe and the post HERE.

How do they get so big so fast!?

We had so much lettuce to eat from the garden. Oh and no more pink sink, everyone! ??

Last week's Live show is now available on YouTube! I show you how to make my favorite snack and salad topper, plus chat a bit about egg and nut swaps, feeding kids, and the difference between Grain-free baking flours! Click HERE to watch.

A few nights ago on my snapchat, I showed you how I made a quick stir fry for dinner. Then I dropped it all over the floor. Follow me over there (username againstallgrain) for more real life. ?

I'm giving away a free recipe from my cookbook Meals Made Simple on my blog! Make this Paleo BBQ Rub this week so you have it ready for all your grilling needs on the 4th. ??

Oodles of zoodles. Thanks for joining me live on Facebook! Asher made a cameo towards the end and gave away a book to the person who guessed his favorite recipe. ? If you missed it, you can still watch it by clicking HERE.

Nothing beats fresh, homemade tomatillo salsa in my opinion. Would you like to see a recipe for this? I just throw it together without measuring usually, but I can try to write it down next time!

We had a taco night with family last week and I brought a salad. I used a mix of baby kale and baby lettuces, mango, cucumber, radishes, carrots, pumpkin seeds, and Kite Hill ricotta and whipped up a quick honey citrus vinaigrette.

The same salad on repeat All.Summer.Long. I just sometimes change up the protein, like this skirt steak rendition. Same Spicy Almond Dressing and Candied Spicy Almonds that I use all the time! The Manila mangos are so sweet right now, and I’ve been getting a 6-pack of organic at Costco.
