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. He is two years older than me, and every school year began with the words “Oh, you’re Jared’s sister? I’m […]
Fried Apples (Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, Soy-Free, Vegan)
October 5, 2011 By 12 Comments
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 […]

September 13, 2011 By 6 Comments
One year ago today, I revealed my dedicated domain: http://andloveittoo.com; and life has been nothing short of a roller coaster since. In the year since the inception of this little blog, a lot has happened. Over the last year my food, and thereby my recipes, have gone from being simply gluten-free and cow’s-milk-free; to where […]

Healthy Lunchbox–Garlic Tomato Basil & Pesto Bruchetta (Vegan, Gluten Free, Dairy Free)
August 31, 2011 By 16 Comments
When preparing school lunches for children with allergies or food sensitivities, most moms (myself included) stay focused on keeping the food we send with our children as “normal” looking as possible. There are times though, where sending our kids with something ‘outside of the box’ is just what they need. I shared my recipe for […]
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 […]

As many of you know, I am a mother of 5 children; two of whom have special diet requirements and are following a gluten-free, casein-free and shellfish-free lifestyle. If you follow me on Twitter or Facebook, you have heard me mention that in addition to being a mother, I am also an educator. Couple these […]
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 […]

August 8, 2011 By 6 Comments
I spent this past week several hours away from home in work related training; away from my children, husband, phone and computer. On Wednesday, in a panic, I realized we were approaching a challenge week and hadn’t even picked an ingredient! Thankfully, I was able to reach my Ingredient-Challenge Monday partner, Shea who had something […]
Easy Vegan Ranch Dressing
August 1, 2011 By 8 Comments
Ranch dressing. Who doesn’t love ranch dressing? Well, okay, maybe people who can’t have dairy…and people who don’t like preservatives and unnatural chemicals in their dressing. 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 […]
