Read on in this week’s letter to hear:
- a very special announcement that you made happen!
- how to support and help keep local bookstores alive by ordering an autographed copy
- PUMPKIN LOAF (grain, dairy, gluten-free and with a nut-free option)
- Two new podcasts I recorded recently, where I talk all about YOU inspiring each cookbook, and speak about the importance of education in autoimmune disease and chronic illness so we know how to face it as an individual.
I had a quick break at home between tour stops, and in an unusual twist for mid-September in California, the weather was a bit chilly. Naturally, that meant I felt the urge to bake something with pumpkin.
In a recent post, I mentioned the three grain-free cake mixes from Make It Easy, and how I’d be sharing more ways to use them in addition to the recipes in the cookbook (or you have the option to grab a store-bought shortcut!). So, here’s a new one for you.
This recipe has a special place in my heart. When Asher was a toddler, we’d often head to our local outdoor mall to get out of the house around that tantrum hour of the day. Every time, we’d stop at Starbucks to share a slice of their pumpkin bread. I haven’t had it in over 12 years, so I decided to recreate that cozy, familiar treat this week just for you. I hope it brings a little fall warmth to your kitchen!
Now I’m off to San Diego, Denver, Chicago and Portland!

Help a Local Bookstore Keep Their Doors Open - Signed Copies!
Did you know that over 20% of small bookstores closed during 2020 and never reopened?
It’s my favorite thing in the world to peruse a small local bookstore (probably because I loved Notting Hill growing up HA!). We supported local independent booksellers in each city, and they all have some extra autographed copies in their stores.
You can call or order online, and they’ll ship you a copy! Help keep their doors open by ordering an autographed copy from them as a gift for someone!
