Acknowledging the wide continuum of mothering-a true celebration of Mother’s Day

As of tomorrow, May 13, it has been two months since my last post. In those two months I have gained hundreds of Facebook followers, dozens of Pinterest and Google+followers and a handful of Twitter followers. You know what that tells me? It tells me that, even in my absence, you are still sharing my […]

Coconut Flour Country Biscuits

Biscuits are one of those cherished southern foods my grandfather was an expert at. Learning how to make these dairy-free proved to be a mild challenge…making them gluten-free?  Difficult to say the least. My largest challenge came after discovering that I am sensitive to nuts. Over the last several years I have played with dozens […]

Dairy-Free, Paleo Friendly Cheddar Cheese (Vegan Option Noted)

January 1, a new year, a new you. While many people use this day to mark their new, fresh eating habits; while many of my friends have begun their sugar-detox, juicing or Whole30 plan, my next Whole30 won’t begin until this Friday. “Why?” you ask? Well, first off, Thursday is my husband’s birthday. And while […]

Where I’ve Been and a Christmas Giveaway for you!

I’ve been a bad blogger lately. Life has gotten in the way. I have been exhausted and needing to spend my attention elsewhere and so, my blog has had to take an unannounced break. Even with this my followers continue to grow. For that, I owe each and every one of you a tremendous amount […]

Even with more than 30 days to sample all of the wonderful Winter Squash recipes in October’s Ingredient Challenge, it just did not seem like enough time […]

ICM July Winning Recipe: Berry Almond Crunch by Heather, the Gluten-Free Cat and Challenge-Ingredient Announcement!

I can’t believe we haven’t had an Ingredient Challenge Monday since July, but with the Healthy Lunchbox Series overlapping the 2nd Monday in both August and September, missing those months just couldn’t be helped! That being said, with Bountiful Baskets offering blueberries in bulk this summer, I enjoyed the extra time to review and re-review […]

Local Oven – Gluten-Free Goodies Worth Talking About!

Earlier this month I had the opportunity to attend the Gluten & Allergen Free Expo in Dallas, TX. In addition to finally meeting some of my favorite blogging gals face-to-face for the first time, I enjoyed a weekend filled with food that was amazingly delicious and completely safe for me. While I did forgo my […]

Culinary Creativity, a review and a giveaway!

If you followed the Healthy Lunchbox 2012 series, undoubtedly you are familiar and slightly enamored with my friend Dawn Allen’s bento boxes. I mean seriously, how cute is she? Recently, Dawn wrote a cookbook that goes way beyond the bento. Way beyond. Excited to know that every recipe is 100% gluten-free and dairy-free, I was […]

Healthy Lunchbox 2012: The Ultimate Collection

Over the last 31 days, dozens of bloggers have brought you their very best Healthy Lunchbox ideas, tips and recipes. While I had the pleasure of opening the series with a week’s worth of simply beautiful healthy lunches that included everything from planned-overs to lettuce wraps, it was what came over the days that followed […]

Healthy Lunchbox 2012: Melissa Joulwan from The Clothes Make the Girl

I was first introduced to Melissa Joulwan late one night, when amid a weight-loss contest at work I decided it was high-time to make the final leap into a Paleo-centric lifestyle and wanted a cookbook that would support this effort. As you know from my March review of Well Fed: Paleo Recipes for People Who […]
