Translation I pretty much flarped on Halloween this year and haven’t done nearly as much as I typically like to. I think I have had a serious case of “spooky block,” not having artificial colorings to fall back on, LOL! That’s okay though, I will just look back at this as my “deprogramming” year. It’s [...]
Translation I have a little secret to share with you. I am a bonafide silicone ice cube tray-aholic! I have so many of these brilliant little gadgets that I am running out of places to store them. I should probably look into renting a storage unit for them…although, I think my husband would shove me [...]
TranslationJust in case you are reading this and are new to the gluten-free diet, I thought I would point out a Halloween treat that is not gluten free but by appearance, you might think that it is. Barley and Rye are not one of the 8 top allergens and are therefore not required to be [...]
TranslationLast night was clearly a successful evening…the children totally “high” on sugar! We always have some friends and family join us for Trick-Or-Treat night, the dad’s get to herd the children along the route to candy paradise and the mom’s get to sit back and enjoy a libation But, before the mom’s “checked out,” we [...]

TranslationI made some “spooky” gluten-free cupcakes to send to Sam’s class today and thought I would share what a lot of sugary icing and body parts gummy candy can do! Sam loves Halloween and so do I. This time of year, I just let go and allow myself to be a kid again. To run [...]
TranslationI found some gummy bears by Yummy Earth at Whole Foods a couple of weeks ago. I thought they would be a good treat to put in the boy’s lunch boxes. Inside the big bag, there are 30 little portion sized packages. I was surprised at how much I liked them, and I am a [...]
TranslationI cannot believe Trick-or-Treat is already here! This will be my first year checking out the loot bag for gluten-containing candy in addition to the usual precautions, so I am getting my lists printed out now because my husband will inevitably need to take a copy (as well as a flashlight) along route as my [...]
