October 12, 2011 By 7 Comments
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.

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 […]

August 24, 2011 By 3 Comments
Today’s Healthy Lunchbox post comes from the highly energetic, absolutely adorable and simply wonderful Gluten-Free Gigi. Because Gigi is nut-free, our styles vary a bit (as almond flour and nut cheeses are staples in my home). That being said, her gluten free, soy free, dairy free and nut free lifestyle has inspired many great […]

I happen to love the flavor of ranch dressing, but I do not like what dairy does to me, nor do I love preservatives or unnatural chemicals in my […]
