Even if my kids didn’t have allergies, and I weren’t celiac, I would still prefer homemade Easter candy. Do you know what drives me crazy about store-bought candy? The refined sugar, the dairy, the gluten, and the peanuts. Try finding candy without those four ingredients. It’s nearly impossible. I know there are a couple out…

DIY Glass Sippy Cup
Check out my new invention. Kelly has mentioned that we reuse glass jars for food storage. St. Dalfour jam jars are particularly suited for little kids’ hands. Well, this morning we had a little accident where Ashley dropped the jar and her blueberry smoothie splashed everywhere. To prevent this from happening again I turned the…
Eggs Julia
As you know if you follow me on Facebook, I’ve been obsessed with Elegance with Eggs, a video of Julia Child from 1964. Since watching the video (twice) I’ve made eggs in ramekins three times, the way Julia does in the video. They are so awesome, I had to bring them up one more time…
Enjoy Life Cookie Review
Enjoy Life is so kind to send me samples of new products to try, which we happily do 🙂 We have been long-time fans of Enjoy Life. When we drove to Salt Lake City, we ate Enjoy Life trail mix. It was great—a road-trip must-have. This time they sent us three kinds of cookies. Just…
Dairy free Yogurt #3, Raspberry & Almond flavor

Vanilla Almond Strawberry Gluten-Free Granola
Last week Zoe was asking me to buy cereal. *Groan* We haven’t been cereal people for years. I think it’s the least healthy way to start your day. I’m all about keeping our blood sugar even, not spiking it first thing in the morning. My girls are homeschooled, so who would get to deal with…
So Simple Zucchini Noodle Soup
This soup is so simple it almost doesn’t even need any explanation 🙂 I just sauteed carrots and celery, and added steamed zucchini noodles, broth and Herbamare. It would also have been really good with some chicken for chicken “noodle” soup. To make the zucchini noodles I used this nifty julienne slicer that Elana got…
Chicken Enchiladas with Nacho Cheese by Go Dairy Free
I’m crazy for my new tortilla recipe. First I used it to make wraps , then fajitas, and now these yum-o enchiladas with nacho cheese sauce from the cookbook, Go Dairy Free. They were really easy because I had the chicken leftover from the day before, so all that was left was to make the…
