Can you believe it’s already October? Seriously, where did the time go? I’ve always heard people say that the older you get, the faster time flies by. Is that physical age or mental age? Because I’ve been trying very hard to stay 16 mentally (I’ve recently added hot pink to my repertoire of hair colors) […]

For this week’s menu plan, I’m taking back Italian. For the most part, I have steered clear of one of my favorite cuisines since going dairy-free (and mostly grain-free) earlier this year. But now I’m ready to re-define my definition of Italian goodness. With the exception of lasagna, I think most Italian recipes can taste […]

Of all the countless punctures (blackberries are thorny suckers!), many days smelling […]

Gluten Free Halloween
posted on October 30, 2010 by
I pretty much flarped on Halloween this year and haven’t done nearly as much as I typically like to. I think I have had a serious case of “spooky block,” not having artificial colorings to fall back on, LOL! That’s okay though, I will just look back at this as my “deprogramming” year. It’s funny, […]
