NOTE: This recipe does contain tree nuts (almond and cashews). At the end of this post, I will tell you of a dry pudding mix that will setup with dairy-free milk (at least it does with So Delicious Original Coconut Milk). Okay, I am really excited about this recipe! My 3 year old LOVES chocolate […]
Boar’s Head Lower Sodium Challenge and Giveaway!
posted on August 2, 2010 by
I love Boar’s Head brand deli meats and cheeses, in fact, it is the only brand of deli meat I buy for my family anymore. I primarily buy the low sodium turkey breast (at 2 pounds a week!) but we also like to indulge in the low sodium ham and roast beef on occasion. I […]
Shredded Beet Salad with Fresh Raspberry Vinaigrette
posted on July 28, 2010 by
I am not an intuitive cook, nor did I grow up in the kitchen with my mom (thus learning how to cook). My mom did not enjoy being in the kitchen and only did so because, well, we had to eat something. I really don’t know where I developed a passion for food, but from […]
Gluten-Free Cherry Clafoutis
posted on July 25, 2010 by
I love cherries; they are the perfect fruit for me. The perfect balance of sweet and tart. The plump and juicy flesh of this stone fruit takes me back to a much simpler time, when I could spend the hot summer afternoon in my parents’ backyard with a bowl of fresh cherries and eat them […]

This is a new favorite dessert of mine, it also makes for a high fiber breakfast. I have been on a melon kick lately and have been branching outside of the cantaloupe, honeydew and watermelons that I usually buy. In the above photo, the peach colored melon is a Crenshaw Melon. According to FoodReference.com: Crenshaw […]

I’ve finally recovered. Ever have one of those days where nothing goes as planned? When one small blip turns into a gnarly black cloud hanging over your head for two solid days? Boy did I have one of THOSE weekends! 😉 It all started on Friday when my sister called to point out that my […]
How to Cook Spaghetti Squash and Gluten-Free Pasta Sauces
posted on June 23, 2010 by
My gluten-free dry pasta of choice is Tinkyada (I really cannot recommend it enough). My boys really like the spinach pasta because they think it looks like worms. Add marinara to the picture and I am sure you can imagine how interesting my dinner table can get! 😉 Over the past several months, I have […]
Amazing Cole Slaw
posted on June 19, 2010 by
I have always loved cole slaw, but until my celiac diagnosis, the only cole slaws I had ever tried were doused in a creamy (and not so healthy) dressing. About a year ago, I found a recipe on Eating Well Magazine’s website for cole slaw that I absolutely fell in love with, and the best […]
Strawberry Beet Salad with Goat Cheese and Balsamic Vinaigrette
posted on June 16, 2010 by
If you have been reading my blog for very long, then you probably know that I am no fan of beets. I am determined to like them though, or at least find a few ways that I can manage to eat them and reap the amazing health benefits. Back in January, I posted a recipe […]
Strawberry Agua Frescas

It has been hot in New Mexico, and I mean Hades hot! 😀 The temperatures have been hitting the low 100’s and that is unusual for New Mexico this time of year. The heat is getting to me and I have found myself being lazy in the kitchen, and with the laundry, and with the, […]
