Recently, I was the lucky recipient of some complimentary gluten-free bread products from Canyon Bakehouse, a dedicated gluten-free facility in Loveland, Colorado. All I can say is… YUM! Funny story; the day the Canyon Bakehouse products arrived, I placed them on the counter and waited patiently until Mike and the boys got home from work/school […]
Meatballs (Gluten-Free, Corn-Free, Dairy-Free, Egg-Free and Soy-Free)
posted on April 17, 2010 by
Maybe I should have called them “Eggless Meatball Wonders,” or “Guiltless Meatballs,” because there are several nutritious ingredients cleverly hidden inside, and you cannot even tell! đ Ever since I started experimenting with “flax eggs,” I have become increasingly impressed with the results in most of my experiments. So much so, I have found myself […]
Lunchbox Kabobs
posted on April 14, 2010 by
Back when I was working on my review for the Easy Lunchbox System (while simultaneously trying to recreate an “authentic looking” GF Lunchable), I really started to ponder how most kids perceive foods just by how they look and how they are packaged, you saw my “McCarrot Experiment,” right?. I have also been trying to […]
Carrots are CarrotsâŚÂ Right?
posted on April 10, 2010 by
I had completely forgotten about an article I had read a few years ago until Mike, the boys and I were watching Jaime Oliver’s Food Revolution last night (last week’s episode, as the only “Live” TV we watch anymore are sporting events. I am making a conscious effort to minimize how many ads Sam and […]
Gluten-Free Happy Meals
posted on April 5, 2010 by
I originally posted this last summer, but I thought I would do an update with better pictures. Last week, I took the boys to see “How To Tame Your Dragon” (a really GREAT movie by the way)! I loved the underlying message of the movie and thought it very appropriate for Sam, who has been […]
Gluten-Free Pizza Lunchables
posted on April 5, 2010 by
So you knew “it” had to be coming at some point, right? đ I must say this first, Mike and I are REALLY working with Sam to embrace his “differences” (as we all have them), and I think it is starting to catch on. He is not asking for GF Lunchables all that much […]
Udiâs Gluten Free Bagels & A Fun Breakfast Treat for GFÂ Kids
posted on April 4, 2010 by
A few weeks ago, while on one of my rare grocery adventures (I kid you not, I get lost in label land)! Anyhoo, after a few hours of doing the “Gluten-Free Nancy Drew” thing, I remembered that I needed to pick up some more bread. When I approached the freezer case to get my beloved […]
Gluten-Free Easter Candy
posted on April 2, 2010 by
Mike and I are trying something new this year with our boys for Easter. We are kickin’ it old school! Not sure how popular the “Easter Bunny” will be in our house come Sunday, but I am keeping my fingers crossed! Instead of loading their baskets with neon colored commercial candies, I am making a […]
Easter Cupcakes
posted on March 31, 2010 by
Yesterday, Luke and I made cupcakes for his class Easter party so we thought we would show you our handiwork! I use the Better Crocker GF Cake Mixes because they are easy and predictable when I am short on time. I hope to start working on finding some good scratch recipes over the coming months […]
Rubber Eggs, A Science Experiment Gone So So Wrong
posted on March 30, 2010 by
On a recent trip to a local teachers supply store, I picked up a book titled, “Kid Concoctions, Creations and Contraptions” by Robynne Eagan. The book appealed to me for a few reasons. As I was flipping through it to see if I would want to buy it, I eagle eyed a few naturally gluten-free […]
