There are some foods that have been such a long staple in our home (both my husband and I having enjoyed them since our own childhood), we forget that not everyone has tried them just yet! Recently, we had a sweet visitor who is not native to our country. When we have guests, I do […]

With that, I love having access to high-protein, high-nutrition recipes that everyone loves.

Last week I introduced you to a new co-op that I am super excited about! So far we have put their ground beef, beautifully trimmed chicken breasts and uncured bacon to the test… even though we have made the effort to always purchase the best quality meat we could afford, I have been overwhelmed by […]

If you know me, you know that I am cautious about what brands/products I recommend/suggest. But, if I find something I love, I can’t help but share! If you know me, you also know that as a mother of 6, I have spent years doing all I can to feed my family nutrient-dense, high-quality foods […]

December 20, 2018 By 5 Comments
This time of the year, while everyone is busy working on cookies and candies , I decided that this was the year that I needed to perfect a grain-free tamale.

As a recipe writer/food blogger, I spend a lot of time working with and testing other people’s recipes…sometimes per their request, sometimes because I know they are just that fabulous and I really want to try their food.

Yesterday was my oldest child’s birthday, and as usual, he asked for his favorite cake: German Chocolate. Since I long perfected an “our safe” recipe for this, it was a no brainer how to go about making it happen… But then as I sat and looked at the 6 egg whites that remained after […]

It may come as a surprise to some of you, but even though all of my recipes shared on this page are 100% gluten and dairy free, except for my children who are sensitive or allergic to dairy, we actually have a few dairy eaters in this house. And every now and then I […]
