I bet you didn’t know I lived in Russia for 5 months of my life. Living there was one of the most challenging, but most rewarding times of my life. I taught English at a Russian kindergarten in Varonezh. I fell in love with the kids and with the people as well as with the …

I love me a good cake. This is a good cake. So, therefore I love it. My son wanted a gluten free lemon cake for his birthday, so I made this family favorite gluten and dairy free as well as vegan. I can’t say that it is “healthy” per se. But, as far as desserts …

I make a smoothie nearly every day. I love my Blendtec blender for that reason. I feel like it has helped our family eat a lot healthier and waste less fruits and vegetables. Instead of wasting, we throw them into a smoothie! This dairy free peach smoothie recipe is definitely for kids or adults. It’s …

Last week, I had a neighbor friend whose family was sick and they are also gluten and dairy free. I decided it was high time to bring some comfort food over and nothing sounds more comforting than creamy soup on a cold night! Or, really any time for that matter! So I went on …

It seems like since we’ve been gluten and dairy free, our packaged dessert consumption has gone WAY down (due to cost and taste). I guess that’s a good thing, but every once and a while, I crave a cookie that’s moist and flavorful and fresh from the oven. These gfdf coconut macaroons really hit the …

Party mix is a big Christmas tradition on our family and I have perfected a really good gluten free party mix recipe (also dairy free too). It’s so good, I don’t even miss the other kind. It’s crunch and salty and adds variety to our usual gluten free snacks. I doubled the recipe and it …

First of all, no one died. Whew, thank goodness. Second of all, I think I’ve mentioned before that I have a thing for funeral potatoes (the cheesy potatoes generally served at Mormon funerals). I am kindof obsessed with potatoes in general. Especially since I’ve been pregnant. I am craving potatoes just about every day! I …
