First, I want to thank you all for being part of this community. It’s been such a wonderfully nourishing experience for me have this website and be able to share recipes and tips for good living with all of you.
However, there is another side to running a website. Like everyone in this age of information overload, I’m looking at working better and smarter. Doing more with less. As you may have noticed, I haven’t been posting quite as often. I’ve also gone on a social media diet, checking into Twitter and Facebook a couple of times a week instead of several times a day.
Further, after much consideration, I’ve decided to close down the Forums. Although the forums have served a good purpose, all in all, I’ve found that they are one more place for me to monitor in terms of the work I put into this website. I believe that the community can continue to connect in the comments section of each post and that it will still be productive for you to leave your remarks there.
So yes, change is in the air.
And I’m interested in you. I want you to tell me what type of information you find useful on this site. What are you doing with your life right now and what in particular are you looking for here?
So please, leave a comment and share your thoughts. I’m very interested, even though I do not often respond to comments, I do personally read each and every comment that you leave on every post.
Thanks for 6 great years and looking forward to many more!

I enjoy trying your recipes, particularly since they fit in so well with Paleo. I’m very fond of the Paleo bread and enjoy it with almond butter in the morning or as sandwich bread. Keep the recipes coming!

I give you credit. Sometimes it’s important to take a step back. I find that this is something that I need to do. When you do it, it’s actually quite liberating. Spending time with family and friends is very precious. Take care and be well.

I love your recipes, especially for Jewish holidays.

Thank you so much, Elana, for making such a valuable resource available to so many people! I can’t tell you how many times I’ve visited your site. I trust your recipes and have never been disappointed. I am particularly interested in recipes involving nut flours and butters including coconut flour and baking with alternatives to white sugar. I also really appreciate entree and beverage recipes using paleo friendly ingredients. My family follows an scd/paleo diet. Our biggest struggle is cooking with white sugar alternatives. Again, thank you for your hard work and generosity.

I love your recipes. I highly suggest them to my friends and clients. When I need a recipe on the go, I can count on yours to include ‘normal’ pantry ingredients, where I do not need a special trip to the market or fancy items. I love that you incorportate stories of your family and I take note when your ‘boys’ want more of something :) Your recipes are simple and taste great, and offer easy modified ingredients. I truly hope you continue to offer your exploration in the kitchen to the world. *I have never looked at your forums but I do tend to view your recipe posts from your twitter/fb updates. I think we could all use a social media diet, glad you are taking the space!

I appreciate what I have learned here and do have one of your books… I always refer you and your books site to new people. I wish I had found you first, life would have been much easier and less costly for me. Thanks for all you are able to do but understand how much time it takes as well.
Bless you for your service to others.

I enjoy your paleo friendly, gluten free (and dairy free) recipes very much and find inspiration from them.

I have recently found out that I have an intolerance to gluten – am very excited that I found your website and have ordered your Almond Flour Cookbook. Love the website, love the book!
It was hard for me to give up all gluten (and dairy too!. Thank you for your recipes and dedication to us gluten free eaters :-) You have helped make my transition easier.
