Gluten Free Recipes

Although to date I don’t have a ton of gluten free recipes on the website, this is definitely a category you should keep an eye on. I first started experimenting with eating gluten free this month (March 2012), after reading the book Wheat Belly. After two weeks, I have no plans to reintroduce wheat into my diet which means a lot more gluten free recipes to come!

Eating right while I’ve been pregnant has been more challenging that I’d expected. In the beginning, I had visions of eating perfectly and gaining maybe 15 pounds. Let’s just say that that plan didn’t work out. I’ve done pretty well. Unless you count the chocolate covered almonds. Or the ice cream. Or the pounds of [...]

You know what my idea of a great meal right now is? Anything the hubby can make and the kids will eat without fussing. In my ideal world, both of these things happen while I prop my feet up and wonder when baby Skye will make an appearance. (FYI – I think I have at [...]

You’ve all heard me talk about how difficult it is to find anything that both my boys will eat. Unfortunately, that difficulty extends to desserts! Yep, one of my little princes likes chocolate…and the other tolerates it but flatly rejects anything that he deems to be “too chocolaty”. (Yet somehow his favorite Cliff Bar is [...]

I’m 36 weeks tomorrow and strangely… I think I’m almost ready for baby. The to-do/buy list that seemed so large a few weeks ago is pretty much crossed off. With all of my procrastination, everything actually came together in a couple of weeks- even though I was starting from scratch. Gotta love internet shopping. I’ll [...]

I am all about getting the kids to eat more vegetables. And the boys are all about avoiding anything green. I’ve heard of mom’s calling broccoli Shrek trees and other such creative methods to get their little ones to willingly eat greens, but sadly these methods never worked for us. I assume that it is [...]

In my next life, I’ll be one of those Mom’s who has a ton of patience. You know what I’m talking about. The kind of Mom who can tackle any project on Pinterest with her kids and never lose her cool. Or the one who actually can relax while cooking with her kids. Despite the [...]

This week has been a challenging one for me. Last weekend was Christian’s 7th birthday and to start the weekend off we took the boys to the movies. Seems like a safe activity, right? Hmmm…not so much. I somehow managed to pick a broken theater chair to sit in. To be clear, I am not [...]

You guys just….ROCK. Thank you so much to all of those who took the time to leave me a comment or send me an email after my last post. Amazingly you managed to collectively tell me exactly what I need to hear as I go into the home stretch of this pregnancy and prepare for [...]

Today I ordered all of the “preparing for birth” supplements recommended by my midwife. When I sat down to do it it didn’t seem like that big of a deal, but by the time I was done reading all of the reviews and figuring out which ones to get I had a freak out moment. [...]

I can’t believe its only 8 more weeks (give or take) before I have a little girl! Every time I open the closet and see the tiny clothes hanging, I panic. With the boys I was the picture of preparedness. I read every book I could, knew all the theories on infant sleep and literally [...]

I frequently start out with the intention of creating easy recipes. Really, I do. And then I get in the kitchen and think…ok, I should add more vegetables, a little bit of this seasoning or that herb. Suddenly my salad that started out with 5 or 6 ingredients has turned into 10 or 12. When [...]

If you’ve been around here long, you know that once upon a time every third recipe I posted was a burger of some sorts. In the early days before I really opened my eyes to all that could be done with quinoa, burgers or salads were the extent to which my creativity went. Once I [...]

The further I get into this pregnancy, the easier I need things to be. My current obsession is freezer cooking. Nothing feels any better than knowing that I’ve got a few meals tucked away for those nights where I just don’t have the energy to do much other than whine about how bad I feel [...]

I grew up in Florida with parents that were very much Southern. In a culinary sense, my life was very sheltered. Dinners were dishes like fried chicken, mashed potatoes and green beans. About the most ethnic food ever got around our house was lasagna made with Prego. There were so many things I never ate [...]

I’ve never been one for Pr0 Football (I’m an SEC girl) but that doesn’t stop me from enjoying the Super Bowl. For me, its all about the food that I enjoy while watching with amazement at what advertisers will spend $4 million dollars on. I love appetizers so naturally I adore football food! I am [...]

After putting the boys to bed a couple of nights ago, I overheard a rather enthusiastic conversation. Of course, I took the opportunity to eavesdrop and see what the debate was all about. As it turns out I would have been much better off if I’d waddled gone back downstairs and turned on the TV. [...]

One of the craziest things about being a parent is seeing myself in my boys. Just this morning, I was working with Alex on his math. He’s just started multiplication and somehow just “gets” that, but he still struggles when trying to add three four digit numbers. It’s not the addition he has a problem [...]

Hi. Just call me Bubbles. No, that’s not my new stripper name. It’s my bird name. In case you missed it, my boys have decided that their pregnant Mama looks like Orange Bird Blown Up. Apparently, orange bird’s name is Bubbles. Lucky me, hubby jumped on that bandwagon and ran with it. Ran….. ……like the [...]
