Pumpkin Custard (Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, Refined Sugar-Free)

You may have not yet noticed…but I am a lover of all things pumpkin. Pumpkin dip, pumpkin with caramel, pumpkin pie….give me some pumpkin candles, pumpkin cookies and pumpkin muffins (gluten-free, dairy-free of course), and I’m a happy girl. With so many holiday events going on, I knew it was high time for me to […]

Foodbuzz Tastemaker: Rosemary-Garlic Chicken Breasts with Vegetables

When the Foodbuzz Tatstemaker program offered to send a coupon through Green Giant for free Green Giant product, I was excited to take part. I have mentioned many times, on here, on Facebook and Twitter, that the best food is naturally gluten-free.  Fruits, vegetables and minimally processed meats are essential life and a vital part of […]

Turnip Pancakes

I have no doubt that you are looking at the title of this post and are wondering “What in the world are Turnip Pancakes?” Have you ever had a Potato Pancake? Turnip Pancakes are a lot like that…only, turnips have fewer calories than potatoes. Significantly fewer calories. Turnips have more Fiber, Calcium and Vitamin C […]

Creamy Pumpkin Fruit Dip

With less than a week before All Hallows’ Eve, stores are brimming with orange globes waiting to be carved into some magical piece of artistry. When it comes to pumpkins though, why limit yourself to the simple orange, jack-o-lantern variety? Beautiful yellows, greens and white await. And not only are these lovely additions perfect for […]

Guest Post for Dixie Chik Cooks…Sugar-Free Raw Vegan Pumpkin Pie in a Jar

When my friend Shea asked if I would be interested in doing a guest-post on her site, I was extremely honored and a bit intimidated. Anyone who followed our Ingredient Challenge Monday posts knows that, because of medical reasons, I live a gluten-free and dairy-free lifestyle, and Shea does not. So how am I to […]

Twice Baked, Vegan Garlic Mashed Paleo ‘Potatoes’ (Mashed Cauliflower)

This week’s Food Network Fall Fest brought an interesting challenge to my table. You see, I recently made the decision to transition into a more Paleo lifestyle. As you know, I have been gluten-free and dairy-free for a while.  If you follow my baking posts, you know that grain-free flours are my preference;  and I […]

Bacon-Infused Wilted Spinach (Vegan Alternative Noted)

Do you ever find yourself competing against people who have no idea that you are competing against them? I do. Take my brother for example…the man always had better grades than I did in school. He is two years older than me, and every school year began with the words “Oh, you’re Jared’s sister? I’m […]

Fried Apples (Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, Soy-Free, Vegan)

It has been three weeks since my last post.  In that time, I have changed servers (which put my site down for 10 days), gotten neck deep into my new position at school and have flat-out been exhausted. Even so, I don’t like being away for so long. Thank you for being patient and sticking with […]

Blogiversary Celebration, Vegan ‘Samoa’ Cake and Giveaway Winner!

One year ago today, I revealed my dedicated domain: http://andloveittoo.com; and life has been nothing short of a roller coaster since. In the year since the inception of this little blog, a lot has happened. Over the last year my food, and thereby my recipes, have gone from being simply gluten-free and cow’s-milk-free; to where […]

Healthy Lunchbox Round-Up

Two months ago, as I began to prepare for the up and coming school year, I had an idea. Every year the struggle to fill my children’s lunchboxes with healthy foods that they will enjoy seems to become a little more complicated. This year, my youngest is in kindergarten.  Couple that with a promotion that […]
