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 never visited the forums so i wont miss them. i do not have celiac, but i believe i have a sensitivity to gluten and i DEFINITELY have a sensitivity to sugar/carbs. therefore, i find your website my saving grace! i appreciate your recipes more than you will ever know! i do substitute a few things here and there on my own in order to accommodate my low carb diet.

Dear Elana, I so appreciate the recipes on your web site. Your banana bread is one of the few ways I can get my daughter (who is a very picky eater) to eat eggs and almonds. My husband and I have been paleo for over a year and it is a joy to have recipes that I know will work, taste great, and that I can reliably experiment with. I refer other paleo and gluten-free friends here. I enjoy your occasional descriptions of the properties of various ingredients. Also, I used to live in Boulder so it is nice to hear the comments about Boulder life every now and then. Thank you for the care you put into your web site.

I’ve always been a bit boggled at how you did it all! So I am happy for you that you will not have to be keeping up with quite so much, and delighted that we will still have you and your recipes! Thank you so much.

I am so thankful for your dedication to this site. I typically plan weekly meals for the week and I often get all of my recipes directly from your site. I love how simple, healthy and flavorful your food is. I consider myself a food blog addict and yours is one of my favorites! Thanks so much.

Dear Elana,
Your recipes are fantastic, and I hope that you keep posting them. They are my go-to recipes for everyday menus as well as entertaining. I have shared your recipes with friends who are battling health issues (especially MS and diabetes) and others who just love healthy eating. Your published cookbooks have also made wonderful gifts for many of these same friends, and also for me, of course. (I would just love to help you test your recipes if you need such a service for a new cookbook.)
Thank you for your hard work in the ‘R & D’ department. You are generous and kind to share your talents with us!
Shalom
