When Phoebe invited me to her Virtual Viewing Party and All-American Potluck, the first thing that popped into my mind was apple pie. I mean, besides hot dogs, what is more American than apple pie? Only, I am not a huge fan of apple pie. Don’t ask me why, I am not 100% certain; I […]

September 13, 2012 By 18 Comments
September 13th may not mean a lot to most, but to the many who have been diagnosed with celiac disease, September 13th is a day just as important as most any other holiday. You see, September 13th has been designated as National Celiac Awareness Day by the United States Senate, and “whereas the majority of […]
Healthy Lunchbox 2012: Slowcooker Paleo Eggplant Parmesan
August 29, 2012 By 11 Comments
You’ve heard me (as well as other bloggers) talk about planned-overs and how they make for great lunches. Well, sometimes lunch needs to be a prequel. Sometimes a meal is just too good to wait until dinner… When cooked overnight in a crock and you have a thermos ready to help keep it warm… Well, let’s […]

August 20, 2012 By 7 Comments
Have you met my friend, Gluten-Free Gigi? Gigi is a scientist turned health specialist and I simply adore and always learn so much from her “A Side of Science” series.

Healthy Lunchbox 2012: Peachy Coconut Streusel Muffins
August 15, 2012 By 14 Comments
When most people think of muffins, they think high-carb, grain-filled, low-nutritional value item. The last thing I want to feed my children is anything that meets that type of description. The great thing about grain-free cooking is that a majority of flours (nut, seed and coconut) are naturally high in fabulous fiber, protein and nutrients. […]

Welcome to Healthy Lunchbox 2012! One year ago, I had an idea… Every year the struggle to fill my children’s lunchboxes with healthy foods they will enjoy seems to become a little more complicated.

Roasted Red Pepper Paleo Hummus
August 8, 2012 By 21 Comments
I must admit that, when giving up legumes, hummus was not high on my list of things I would miss. Don’t get me wrong…I love a good hummus. It’s just not one of those things that was on our regular shopping list. In fact, previously, I might purchase hummus once a year and I might […]

July 25, 2012 By 26 Comments
Today on FoodNetwork Summer Fest, food and garden bloggers are joining up to highlight the vibrant staple: Summer Squash. Oddly enough, the title “Summer Squash” has less to do with the time a squash is grown or harvested and more to do with the sustainability of a squash. You see, summer squash like zucchini, yellow […]

July 18, 2012 By 12 Comments
This time of the year our pantry and refrigerator is overloaded with all kinds of delicious produce. Most recently, with the help of Bountiful Baskets we have received an overabundance of fruits like cherries, peaches, nectarines, plums and pineapples. So much so that even my large family cannot keep up. What’s a girl to do? […]
