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 […]
Nathanâs Famous Beef Cocktail Franks

Very cool find today, Nathan’s Beef Cocktail Franks are now GLUTEN-FREE!! This should make making gluten-free pigs in a blanket a little bit easier!
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 […]

WOW! What an amazing giveaway this has been! It is nice to know that I am not alone in my struggle to come up with creative lunchbox meals for my boys… and my quest to find the “perfect” lunchbox solution! I had a lot of fun this weekend cleaning out all of our old lunchboxes, […]
Gluten-Free Monster Truck Birthday Cake
posted on March 27, 2010 by
I will go into this later but I had so much fun today at my “Stage Cakes” cake decorating class that I wanted to show all my GF and Food Allergy mom friends our potential in making fun and safe birthday cakes for our precious children. There are definitely some flaws if you are looking […]
Jumping through the Pringles Loophole
posted on March 19, 2010 by
I know that Pringles (which are NOT gluten-free) as well as many other mainstream chips are just not good for you, you will get no argument from me on that one. However, raising a child with celiac disease can be very difficult when it comes to social situations, as any parent with a child that […]
Glazed Doughnuts
posted on March 18, 2010 by
I made these doughnuts a few weeks ago for Sam’s Flag Ceremony at school. His class was in charge of the ceremony and his teacher was going to buy doughnuts for the class to have as a treat afterward. Mind you, this was during the same period of time as the “Magic Wand” Friday Fun […]
âTrickyâ 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 […]
