Hi there! My name is Laura, and my friends like to call me Lolo. I’m a software tester, dog mom and homemaker, and I love to cook. My husband Sam and I live in Phoenix, AZ with our two rough collies, Rayna and Jamie.

I also love to eat! Sam and I place a high value on natural ingredients and avoiding processed foods. We stay away from starches and sugars as much as possible, though this is slightly complicated by the fact that Sam runs a brewery out of our garage

We leave room for worthy deviations like delicious homemade bread, a cold home-brew, a bowl of ice cream, or a sourdough crust brick-oven pizza (the Phoenix specialty!). You’ll see me use the word “treat” quite a bit around this site – If you’d like to learn more, read this.

My hope is that this site can be a valuable resource for anyone pursuing a life of natural and delicious foods. Lots of recipes posted here are from fabulous online resources like PaleOMG.com and there will always be a source link at the bottom of any borrowed/tweaked recipes.
