[youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AV0fmNo7474&hl=en_US&fs=1&] How about a piece of the cake, instead? 🙂 Now just remember, I am just a mom and not a professional decorator by any means, LOL! I am only on a mission to build a better birthday cake for my kids! Although, a drunk leprechaun sitting on a grassy knoll with a chocolate pot […]
Gluten-Free Powdered Donuts/Doughnuts
Whether you spell it Donut or Doughnut, they both represent the same thing. Whether you are a Dunkin’ Donuts type of donut person or a Krispy Kreme Doughnuts type of doughnut person, it doesn’t matter because if you are gluten-free like me, you cannot have either! 😀 Back in December, I had to figure how […]
Soothing Lettuce Wraps, P.F. Chang’s Style (gluten-free, corn-free, dairy-free, egg-free and soy-free)
Has anyone been to P.F. Chang’s yet to try their new gluten-free menu? I haven’t been yet, it’s a little tough during the school week but will be going soon! Sam and I are going to have a mommy/son “date” on Friday (no school) and go to P.F. Chang’s for lunch (then to see […]
Gluten-Free Eggplant Parmesan
I found a great recipe the other day for Eggplant Parmesan so I thought I would share it. Before going gluten-free, I always liked the Eggplant Parmesan at the Olive Garden, thinly sliced and crispy, topped with marinara, shredded mozzarella and fresh grated Parmesan… yummy. I don’t know about you, but I have never had […]
Sometimes You Beat the Gluten, Sometimes the Gluten Beats You
I think I have finally recovered from my GF Pretzel Rod Adventure from last week. Well, at least enough to post a few funny photos! So why did I even bother, you ask? Well, that is a very good question! For Sam’s Friday Fun Snack last week, we needed a gluten-free version of these: But […]
Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, Soy-Free Banana Bread
This is the recipe my mom always used when I was growing up and I still use it today (not sure of the original source), with my gluten-free tweaks of course. I decided to make some the other night using a few other alternative ingredients just to see how it would turn out, and boy […]
“The No Biggie Bunch” Book Review and Giveaway!!
Recently, while I was “tweeting” (on Twitter) about Sam going through some social “celiac growing pains,” I got a tweet back from @NoBiggieBunch about a book series for children called “The No Biggie Bunch.” Intrigued, I went to the website and checked it out. I got excited because it appeared as though the book series […]

Crave Bakery Giveaway Winner
Thanks everyone for participating in the Crave Bakery Giveaway!! I just wish I could give everyone a free 12-pack of Crave’s gluten-free dark chocolate brownies (but unfortunately, I am not the gluten-free version of Oprah!). I used a Random Number Generator to pick the winner (81 total entries after bonus entries were calculated) and that […]
