I am absolutely thrilled with the outcome of this recipe! I had been playing around with various gluten-free recipes for copycat Nilla Wafers, but was never all that impressed with the results. I had actually given up trying for a while until Sam’s teacher sent home the Friday Fun Snack recipe of the week. The […]
Gluten Free Pigs in a Blanket

This is so cool. Personally, I was most amazed with the “Super Versatile Bread Dough” from a recipe I made with my new BFF, Better Batter Gluten Free Flour! This is the first time in years that I have felt “real” dough in my hands. I could not stop playing with it! Super Versatile Bread […]
Gluten-Free Chocolate Chex Power Sticks Breakfast Bars
posted on January 8, 2010 by
O.H. M.Y. G.O.S.H. That is all any of us could say after we tried these, they are that yummy! Think Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup Power Sticks, just lighter on the chocolate. Luke nearly hyperventilated. I have my very good friend Mary to thank for this recipe, a variation she came up with for her son, […]
Tomato-Free Marinara Sauce
posted on January 8, 2010 by
This is such a cool recipe! I have not made it in a few years, in fact I forgot about until I made a post and referenced a disease called Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EE). Sam used to have a playmate with EE and I got the opportunity to play around with different combinations of foods that […]

I found this recipe on Recipezaar and with a few gluten-free tweaks, made a yummy new breakfast bar! 1 1/4 cups honey (I used 1 cup Agave Nectar but might reduce next time to 3/4 cup) 1 cup Peanut Butter (I used Natural Jif and added 1/4 cup whole flax seeds to it… this is […]

Sam has been wanting some chewy granola bars similar to the store-bought Chewy Chocolate Chip Granola Bars that his friends eat. I found the following recipe on a website called Make and Takes. Very cool website by the way! In case you are new to my blog, I should explain what I do for recipes. […]

I love these quick and easy breakfast bars. I have been making these for about 10 years, ever since I found the recipe when I went to Weight Watchers years ago to lose those unwanted Freshman 15 I gained when I went to college. Only 4 ingredients that you can easily modify to meet your […]
Tracking Santa and Reindeer Food
posted on December 24, 2009 by
Last year, my sister told me about a website that “tracks Santa” on Google Earth. It is a really cool website for kids and parents alike, as it really connects to the kid in all of us. We are tracking Santa this year so Sam wanted to make sure all of his gluten-free friends out […]

posted on December 22, 2009 by
I am very excited about this product. So much so, I just may have to go buy myself an Easy Bake Oven! Seriously, I bought the Girl Gourmet Cake Bakery as a gift to myself for my birthday! 😀 It was actually after my review of the Girl Gourmet Cake Bakery that I was asked […]
Homemade Gluten Free “Nestle Crunch” Candy Bars
posted on December 21, 2009 by
I got the idea for this the day I was working on my GF Rice Crispies post and dipping my Buckeyes in chocolate at the same time. A light bulb went off… I wonder how it would work out to make my own GF “Nestle Crunch” candy bar with chocolate and the Erewhon Crispy Brown […]
