I love easy. I love letting little people in the kitchen and reap the rewards of their creative work. This was one of my go to recipes before going gluten free. I’m still on the search for a really great tasting, good texture allergy friendly pita recipe for those of us who can’t have gluten. …
A Fun and Healthy Halloween
I’m a mom and most of the people I hang out with are moms. Halloween is one of those holidays that is so fun yet we, as moms, also tend to dread. We dread the sugar highs then crashes, the tantrums when we tell them no candy for breakfast and the endless temptation for ourselves …
What To Do When You Finally Do Get Sick
Even the healthiest person gets sick every now and then. I feel like I’ve been hit by a truck. My whole body hurts, my throat is sore and I have no voice. I believe this is what my daughter had a week ago and now it’s my turn. So the question then is, what does …
Gluten Free, Dairy Free Pancakes
My journey into gluten free living started when my daughter was 6 weeks old. She suffered from colic. I was already avoiding dairy, eggs, citrus and for the most part soy.

This recipe was created when I was 8 1/2 months pregnant last year. The weather had FINALLY started cooling off and it had been rainy. At 8 1/2 months pregnant, there was not a whole lot of cooking going on. A friend reminded me that I had a crockpot and should take advantage of it. …
Save Money, Stay Healthy, Stay Slim By Eating What’s In Season NOW
My favorite season is upon us!! I just LOVE fall. While here in Phoenix all it means is days will start cooling off a little, I remember my college days in East Tennesee. The leaves changing colors, warm days and cold nights, corn mazes and, my favorite, my fall/winter wardrobe. These days I get super …
Truly Healthy Jello
Healthy Jello? It’s true. I haven’t had jello for years due to the food coloring, sugar or aspartame, and other questionable ingredients. Kids love jello and I felt bad telling my son he should not eat it when all his friends do. Then I learned about the many benefits of grass fed beef gelatin. This …
