Summertime is a time filled with happy memories of childhood. Family reunions out on the lake. Working with grandpa in the garden. It was in the making of these memories that I learned to love home-grown fruits and vegetables. To favor small batch canning; and to know that with a little time and a lot […]

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 […]

June 14, 2011 By 5 Comments
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 […]
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 […]
Elana Amsterdam’s New Cookbook: Gluten-Free Cupcakes
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 […]
Vegan Nutty Butter Easter Candy
April 19, 2011 By 5 Comments
🙂 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 […]
Raw, Vegan Almond Butter
April 19, 2011 By 2 Comments
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 […]
Vegan Ratatouille With a Twist and Braised Orange Roughy with Fennel, Ingredient-Challenge Monday
March 14, 2011 By 6 Comments
A few weeks ago, I became overwhelmed with the need to add fresh fennel to our menu. I suggested this as an Ingredient for our Ingredient-Challenge Monday group, and while it took a couple of weeks to get everyone on board, I am so excited to have fennel as our featured ingredient today! So excited, […]
