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!

Thank you for creating and fostering a healthy community of like minded individuals I would like to learn how I can reduce intake of all grains, convert recipes to almond flour and continue to improve my health. Love the books and online recipes! When are you going to teach in denver our aurora co?

I love your website. I have purchased both of your books. What I like most in your website is the recipes. They are gluten/grain free and no refined sugar! Thank you very much as I’ve just been told I am gluten intolerant and allergic to refined sugar. Thank you again.

I totally understand the need to prioritize! Life has many demands but limited time. However, I am just happy you are still going to keep creating your wonderful recipes and sharing them with us. I look to your website for inspiration for healthy eating, ways to prepare special foods for my family that they will enjoy and recipes that I can make with my kids that aren’t loaded with sugar, white flour and food coloring. Thank you!

Dear Elena,
What a joy it has been to discover your website, your wonderful recipies, to have you share with us yourself and your family…and so beautifully, your culture, both American and Jewish, which has added a rich and wonderful element to your generous offerings to us all. Hard to express the degree of gratitude felt for your time, focus, and passion. What a gift to us all. Not only have your recipies left me with a lovely warm, healthy and nourished sense but many friends also.
Thank you, thank you….Wendy

Hi Elana!
I read your blog because I love baking with almond flour! And more recently, I am trying to eat less dairy. Your recent chocolate pudding recipe was perfect. Your blog has been such an inspiration. I used to think healthy desserts couldn’t be pretty too. Not anymore!

Id like to see more and more recipes with photos. Now that Pinterest is taking off I’m using it to keep track of food I want to try. I don’t look at the other stuff on the site as much. I did read through the sections on ingredients and products but I mainly want a site with as many recipes as possible so I can sift through and find a few that work for me.

I had NO idea there even was a forum!! :( LOVE the recipes and your work, though!
Andrea says
I come to your blog mainly to see your recipes. I’m usually looking for gluten-free, grain-free recipes with natural sweeteners like honey.
