We, like many people, went through a tough time when the economy tanked in 2008. Since changes in the stock market can affect our income, I’m sure you can imagine just how tight things became around here! We sought out all sorts of ways to cut costs and a funny thing happened in the process… […]
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! 😉 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 […]
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 […]
“Tricky” Chocolate Pudding
posted on March 16, 2010 by
I blame this recipe for my youngest child’s O.B.S.E.S.S.I.O.N. with chocolate! Luke was my smallest baby, at 7 lbs. 13 ounces and 21″ long. That may not seem “small” for a newborn, especially one that was born 2 weeks early, but Sam was 9 lbs. and 23-inches long! Sam never lost an ounce after he […]
Gluten-Free Powdered Donuts/Doughnuts
posted on March 11, 2010 by
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)
posted on March 10, 2010 by
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, Dairy-Free, Soy-Free Banana Bread
posted on March 6, 2010 by
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!!
posted on March 5, 2010 by
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 […]
