Let me start by saying this is not a recipe I created but one from Nourishing Flourishing, a blog that no longer exists.

This is a recipe I started making about 5 years ago as I began to explore the world of paleo and alternative baking. I was trying new and different recipes for the people in my life with food intolerances or health issues and I fell in LOVE with this one. I have it printed out but recently went to try and find the original blog only to find that IT NO LONGER EXISTS. I could not find Nourishing Flourishing anywhere. I used to simply send people the link when they asked for the recipe, but now that it is no longer there I am sharing it here because this recipe is too good not to share with the world. I made a few minor changes to the original recipe, including adding more lemon because I love a lemon and blueberry duo something fierce.

I don’t know about where you are, but here in south Louisiana, we have been having a real-life SPRING, which does not happen each year. The days are longer, the weather has been sunny and cool. It has been AMAZING. The kind of weather where you are scared to blink because you know as soon as you do its going to be 100 degrees with 100% humidity. Elias and I have been walking to the park almost daily, we eat dinner on our back decks most evenings, and we have been trying to spend as much time as possible enjoying the gift of this weather.

Its also really been inspiring me in the kitchen to try more SPRING like recipes. I have been craving lighter foods, softer flavors, fresher everything. That craving plus the lavender plant I just planted in our herb garden set off a lightbulb for the perfect spring recipe.

Well hello, friend.

I am Leah. An adventurous soul in a homebody. My husband, Patrick, and I live in Eswatini (a tiny country in Southern Africa) with our two little boys, but I travel back to good ol’ south Louisiana each Fall to photograph families and weddings!

I photograph families and weddings just as they are, because that is enough. I love to capture warm, joyful, and comfortable images and look forward to the chance to photograph you and your people!

I spend most my time figuring out how to cheer people on in the good work they are up to with the Good News. As much as I love to adventure, I deeply love being cozy at HOME. You can usually find me making delicious things happen in the kitchen to gather people around our table. I believe REAL food is the tastiest.

Here you will find images I have taken, words I share + maybe a few favorite recipes. Thanks for stopping by!
