Early Wins

When you move into a new home, especially one where you're combining 2 houses worth of junk, all the boxes and furniture can be overwhelming.

Welcome to my life.

But while the execution of day to day life is a little harder, the routine is much much easier. And last night we got to experience our first "normal" night in the house. We made a home cooked meal, watched our favorite TV show TOGETHER on our newly mounted TV (thanks fiance!), and were able to relax.

It's the little wins that make the stress of moving easier. We'll tackle a box or two tomorrow...maybe.

Our First Home

Over the weekend Evan and I moved into our first home! It sits in the historic district and comes with all the charm that that entails. Which happens to also entail small hallways and so we are currently sleeping on a mattress on the floor. Oh the joys of an older home!

The moving process was tiring but we did it! Now the sorting (and compromising) begins. As you can see we have A LOT of stuff, and this isn't even all of it...

Tis the Season for Peaches

Peach Upside Down Cake

Ingredients

For the Glaze:
⅓ cup honey
½ teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1-2 ripe peaches, sliced (or about 1½ cup sliced frozen peaches)

For the Cake:
½ cup coconut flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
4 eggs
¼ cup applesauce
⅓ cup honey
1 Tablespoon vanilla
⅓ cup coconut oil, melted
¼ cup almond milk



Instructions

• Mix the honey, nutmeg, and cinnamon together. 
• Pour into an 8 inch round baking pan that has been greased.
• Place sliced peaches on top in any pattern you prefer.
• Mix the coconut flour and baking soda together, making sure no lumps remain.
• In separate bowl, beat the eggs.
• Add the applesauce, honey, vanilla, and coconut oil and beat well.
• Combine with the dry ingredients and stir in the milk. Spread over peaches.
• Bake uncovered at 350° for 35 minutes (until the top is set). 
• Cover with foil to prevent burning the surface and bake an additional 5 minutes, until top is light brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
• Allow to cool, then run a knife around the side of the pan (between the cake and the pan). Turn the cake onto a serving dish.
