I am blessed. Truly, completely blessed. My home is filled with amazing children who make me laugh and fill my world with reasons to celebrate every day. I have a husband who works hard for us and would do anything he could to give his family all they need. In my home, I also have […]
Italian Seasoned Almond Ricotta Cheeze (Vegan)
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 […]

It’s hot. I mean, really really hot. Yes, I am fully, painfully aware that this is summer, and summer is our warmest season…but seriously. It’s hot. In the past few months (not weeks, months) my town has seen just a handful of days below 100+ degrees. We have had absolutely no rain in the better […]

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 […]
Ahi Poke (Gluten Free, Dairy Free), Ingredient-Challenge Monday
May 23, 2011 By 3 Comments
Ahi Tuna. While this ingredient is definitely a different approach to our Ingredient-Challenge Mondays (which generally uses a fruit or vegetable as the central focus of our challenges), Shea and I felt this highly nutritious food fit well into the ultimate goal of our challenge group: to bring variety to our table while increasing the […]

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 […]
