Healthy Lunchbox Guest Post– Gluten Free Gigi
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 […]
Adopt A Gluten-Free Blogger, Elana Amsterdam @ Elana’s Pantry
August 8, 2011 By 3 Comments
It could be said that every day is Adopt a Gluten-Free Blogger in my home. As a relatively recently diagnosed celiac (almost 2 years), there are reflections and inspirations derived from various bloggers in most everything I make. I still consider myself relatively new to the gluten-free world and have no doubt that I am […]

I love cucumbers,which is good since (as mentioned before) , my garden is overflowing with them this year. When Food Network presented cucumbers as the next ingredient for their Summer Fest, I was elated to have another opportunity to share one of my family’s favorite ways to eat this delectable vegetable with you. This Cucumber, […]

July 4, 2011 By 2 Comments
Summertime is a time filled with happy memories of childhood. Family reunions out on the lake. Working with grandpa in the garden. It was in the making of these memories that I learned to love home-grown fruits and vegetables. To favor small batch canning; and to know that with a little time and a lot […]

June 30, 2011 By 2 Comments
Several months ago, I posted a very flavorful recipe for Seasoned Almond Ricotta Cheeze which was inspired by Heidi from Adventures of a Gluten-Free Mom and Carrie from Ginger Lemon Girl. This cheeze is still a favorite in my household, although I have taken time to tweak and refine this recipe to match a number […]

Blueberries. These beautiful tiny treats surely pack a punch!

Updated information identifies the drought mentioned in my Friday post as not only the worst drought since the dust bowl, we are now in the driest seven consecutive months since we began recording rainfall back in 1895.

GF/CF Baked Vegan Jalapeno Poppers
May 3, 2011 By 4 Comments
Warm, spicy, crisp peppers. Hot, melted cheese. Crunchy breaded exterior. I challenge you to find a greater appetizer than jalapeno poppers. The cream cheeze used to fill these beauties is so great by itself, I was tempted to just stop there and eat it up…but after my son had asked me more than a dozen […]
Elana Amsterdam’s New Cookbook: Gluten-Free Cupcakes
April 24, 2011 By 2 Comments
When Elana Amsterdam recently asked if I would like to review a copy of her new cookbook, Gluten-Free Cupcakes: 50 Irresistible Recipes Made with Almond and Coconut Flour, I felt extremely honored and a tad bit flabbergasted…a bit like Porky Pig; tripping over my tongue in attempt to utter a simple phrase. Thankfully, we were […]
