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!

Elana,
I need to tell you that, I am totally obsessed with your receipes. I make them just about everyday. They are so easy to follow and the results are amazing. I am constantly ordering my organic almond flour at nutsonline. Right now my personal favorites are the Choco Chip Scones, Irish Soda Bread, Paleo Pumpkin Bread, Pizza Crust and Pancakes (which I make slight variations, blueberries, pumpkin, choco chip, etc). You are the leading authority on Almond Flour cooking, an absolute genius. Thank you for sharing all these great receipes.

For everything there is a season! You, of course, have got to follow your own inner Self.
I, personally, love your recipes, and, although I have not yet tried them all, have loved everyone that I have tried.
I look forward to your recipe shares. They certainly don’t have to be everyday, just as long as I still hear from you on your schedule, I am happy and ever so grateful for your interest, time, and insights that you share.
Thank you, many times over!

Thank you for the six years of dedication that have benefited me greatly although I only found you 2 1/2 years ago. I appreciate the clarity in your wonderful recipes and the other words of wisdom. So glad to hear you aren’t leaving us completely. Thank you and blessings.

I appreciate you and all the effort that you put into this website. Your page has been an absolute godsend to me in the last two years since I had to go gluten, dairy, and cane sugar free. I often make your cupcakes when I go to friends, this ensures that I have something to eat and I’m always asked for the recipe so I send them to your website. My son who mocks me and his sister for being glutards really enjoys consuming the finished product and I can’t say that for all gf, df, sf recipes that I have tried.
I’m glad you are looking after yourself and unloading some of the overload. Blessings to you and thank you for all you do!

I want to thank you for bringing almond flour to all of us with gluten issues. You asked for our comments on “anything”. Because I have more food issues…..not just gluten issues….I was really interested when you wrote about going grain free. I myself find I do so much better even avoiding brown rice. I am also soy, corn, yeast and dairy sensitive…own your almond flour cookbook and thank you for sharing all that you do!!!
Sincerely,
Linda Germanetti

I do understand your situation….it is easy for the www to take over your life…especially when you believe in what you are doing. I have been involved years ago and realized I was choking out my real life. Backing off was hard. People depended on me and I felt like I was letting down good people. But it has worked for the good. I am a pleasure user now and the stress is gone and time is mine. Thank you for your recipes..they are helpful and delish!
