Blueberries. These beautiful tiny treats surely pack a punch! In one cup of raw blueberries, you will find a mere 84 calories, 4g of dietary fiber, and a great source of vitamin c, vitamin k and manganese. Blueberries are fabulous in everything from muffins to oatmeal. Heck, blueberries are pretty darn good fresh from the […]
Zucchini Brownies (Gluten-Free, Casein-Free, Refined Sugar-Free, Grain-Free, Vegan). Ingredient-Challenge Monday
June 6, 2011 By 4 Comments
When grown in the proper environment, zucchini plants can easily produce several dozen squash per plant. Because zucchini flourishes in an organic environment; preserves well as a frozen vegetable and pickles well, zucchini is often a top choice for home-growers. Throughout growing season, my husband often asks: “Do you have to put zucchini in everything??” […]

May 29, 2011 By 2 Comments
May is a very important month for our family. A month dedicated to Celiac Awareness, I have found many reasons to share why it is I eat the way I do, and why I participate in the blogging community the way I do, this month. Unfortunately being the last month of school, as a teacher […]

This past Friday, I shared with you my personal reasons for wanting to offer this challenge to you. 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 […]

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 […]

🙂 I have had the intention to make Gluten Free-Dairy Free Nut Butter cups for my kids for a while now. With Easter quickly approaching, the television heavily laden with Reese’s commercials and the grocery aisles loaded with these smooth, creamy treats, well…it seemed about time to make my kids a treat they so readily […]

Tonight, because my feature recipe is a two-part masterpiece, I wanted to take a moment and break it up a bit…partially because this first portion requires its own explanation, partially because this portion of the final two-part recipe is so fantastic, I want you to be able to find it over and over again! When […]

April 11, 2011 By 8 Comments
When Shea (aka Dixie Chik Cooks) and I agreed that lemon would be the Ingredient Challenge for this week, my mind started wandering. I love lemon. Lemon bars, lemon meringue, mint lemon julep (sans alcohol), lemon mint cake, lemonade, strawberry lemonade, raspberry lemonade, lemony citrus shortcake cookies, mmmm strawberry lemon cupcakes…so many ways to use […]
