It seems everyone in my house has a different food issue. This year, because of increasingly poor health, my daughter decided to try becoming a vegetarian. Surprisingly, (to her meat eating Momma) her health has improved dramatically. Even to the point of no longer requiring her prescription of iron supplements.…

Gluten Free Date Balls
I like novelty. I like to travel and move and meet new people and try new foods. But at Christmas I like tradition. Part of my Christmas tradition as a little kid was date balls. My grandma made them. Your grandma probably made them. They were one of those things…

Basic Gluten Free Banana Bread
Every week we buy bananas. It’s what responsible grown up people with children do. And some of the bananas get eaten. Maybe 3 of the bananas. The rest of the them sort of sit on the counter waiting to be eaten.

Roasted Winter Vegetables, Vegan, Gluten-Free

Gluten Free Vegan Football Fritters
It's official. After an amazing 11 months in Thailand, we're moving back to the States. Needless to say, I have mixed feelings about this. It's been three years (2 in Canada and one here in Thailand) since life has been “normal”. I miss normal. On the other hand, a community…

Grain Free Chocolate Peanut Butter Brownies
My family is divided about these brownies. Half of us think that these are the most amazing thing ever, the other half is getting a bit tired of my obsession with chocolate and peanut butter. They’re grain free, firm and chewy like a brownie should be and the topping is…

Gluten Free Road Trip
I love traveling, new places, new people. But I’m not so crazy about the new food and the same old gluten reactions. Finding things to eat,especially on the road, can be challenging, especially for “live to eat” type of person. Road trips for me can be an “eat to live”…

Gluten Free, Grain Free Cashew Flour Pancakes
I am incredibly happy. I have finally found a grain free pancake recipe that I LOVE!! When I was a little kid my dad would make pancakes from scratch. Amazing fluffy, sweet pancakes. And we didn’t eat them with cheap old table syrup. We’d eat them with butter and lemon…
