Coconut Flour Apple Crumble (nut-free)

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, Blogiversary and Upside Down Pineapple Cake (grain-free, dairy-free, refined sugar-free, paleo)

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

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 […]

Healthy Lunchbox 2012: Heather the Gluten-Free Cat

My friend Heather, the Gluten-Free Cat has been a tremendous and positive influence on my blog since early on.

Healthy Lunchbox 2012: Gluten-Free Gigi

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.  Gigi was one of the guest-bloggers for last year’s Healthy Lunchbox series where she shared a delicious chocolate chip mini-muffin recipe.  This year she made me […]

Healthy Lunchbox 2012: Peachy Coconut Streusel Muffins

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.  […]

Healthy Lunchbox 2012

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. To keep things interesting, I asked some of my favorite bloggers for some help. Thus, the Healthy Lunchbox Series was born. […]

Roasted Red Pepper Paleo Hummus

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 […]
