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!

Ever since I stumbled across your website a little over 2 years ago, I’ve been checking your website constantly (sometimes even daily!) to see what new concoctions you’ve come up with. You’ve been an inspiration and given me hope that eating healthy can taste wonderful and even be FUN! I’m at a point in my life where I don’t exactly know what I want to do or what I want to be. However, I do know that based off of the information you’ve supplied over the years about topics ranging from celiac to ayurvedic medicine, I want to learn more about topics like this and make an impact in the world like you’ve done! You’ve been able to reach out to so many people around the world and yet still be involved in the lives of your children-and that is so awesome to me! So, as long as you don’t stop posting I’ll be happy :)
Thanks for everything you do!

Your recipes made it possible for me to stop eating dairy and grains six months ago. I dropped 25 pounds without even trying, am rarely hungry–and when I am, it’s not the blood-sugar-drop kind of hungry that makes you cram whatever is closest into your mouth. I don’t ache, my intestines are happy. I am so grateful for your recipes. Thank you for continuing to give them to us, as I include my two sons in this now, too.

I have started following your site and recipes within the past year and appreciate the simple and delicious options that you present. More recently, I love the paleo additions. Thank you!!

Well, I just want to let you know that you are awesome. I love reading your posts and learning/getting ideas for things to create in the kitchen. I love all the sweet stuff but the things I need the most ideas with are the savory, meal time ideas. As much as I love me sweets I try not to eat them as they make me feel junk. I also really like the things you post about teas or other alternative hot drinks. Just my two cents. :) The Internet can be a draining thing to keep up with, good to hear you are taking care of yourself and what is most important to you.

Hello Elana,
I have been reading your website for over a year and have given the url to many folks that are looking for gluten free recipes. Yours are the best and I love getting your e-mails with recipes whenever you send them.
I can totally respect that you need to streamline your activities concerning this website (smart woman). I rarely read the comments or forum info, so if you just did recipes I would be happy.
keep up the good work,
Barb

I totally understand the need to work smarter and not harder…good for you. I have made it a point to spend less time online and live more offline. Basically your recipes work for me. Thanks for all you do.

I’m interested in gluten, dairy and egg free recipes because I am allergic to all of these.
Thanks!
