Bacon-Infused Wilted Spinach (Vegan Alternative Noted)

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)

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 […]

Blogiversary Celebration, Vegan ‘Samoa’ Cake and Giveaway Winner!

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 Round-Up

Two months ago, as I began to prepare for the up and coming school year, I had an idea. Every year the struggle to fill my children’s lunchboxes with healthy foods that they will enjoy seems to become a little more complicated. This year, my youngest is in kindergarten.  Couple that with a promotion that […]

Healthy Lunchbox–Garlic Tomato Basil & Pesto Bruchetta (Vegan, Gluten Free, Dairy Free)

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- Shirley Braden @ GFE–Gluten Free Easily

When I messaged my favorite bloggers and asked if they would be interested in joining me in a month-long series featuring healthy lunch box ideas, I was overwhelmed with gratitude at the positive response I received. Sweet Shirley-GFE responded with a simple, “How did you know I would say yes?”    My heart fluttered.   […]

Heathy Luncbox treat- Yellow Squash Vanilla Cupcakes. Ingredient-Challenge Monday

This Ingredient-Challenge Monday, Shea and I have selected the beautiful Yellow Summer Squash as our challenge ingredient of choice.

Healthy lunchboxes, a surprise gift and a giveaway

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

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 […]
