Have you thought of yourself as a creative person yet realized that you feel like you have too much to do to take the time to be creative? That has been me. I keep my calendar pretty simplistic to keep stress low. (In my opinion, that’s a MUST when you have either a chronic health…

5-minute DIY Cream of Mushroom Soup Recipe! (using TJ’s Umami seasoning)
I LOVE mushrooms. Chunky or not, they’re right up there with olives for me on my list of top flavor pops. But I understand that not everybody is a fan of their texture, which is why I am super excited about Trader Joe’s Mushroom & Company Multipurpose Umami Seasoning Blend. First of all, I can…
A Portal to Discovery
I moved a lot growing up (and since getting married for my husband’s job) and there were two places we’d check out first to get settled into a new location. First, as people of faith, we’d find a church which would be our surrogate family in our new location. This last time almost three years…
Still Learning
While I enjoy being creative with the video editing itself as I attempt this Youtube channel endeavor, it has been a struggle learning the right way to store the videos (and not lose all my many hours of edited videos. *sigh*). My phone quickly runs out of storage, so my husband showed me how to…
From Survival Mode to Creative Zone Again
When life was just about day-to-day survival and I wasn’t feeling very creative, I knew I needed to do something to get un-stuck.

Have you been in survival mode, and your creativity has suffered?
Goals, Gluten-Free Living and My first YouTube Video
I recently posted about productivity and goals. I set an achievable goal for myself for January, but I was a little doubtful of my ability. I feel mostly confident in the creative world…except when it comes to technology. I challenged myself to learn some basic video-editing on Shotcut. Well, my geek hubby keeps elbowing me…
Amy’s Favorite GF, Egg-Free Waffles Recipe
This recipe was inspired by an Allrecipes Pumpkin Waffle recipe; however I have an intolerance to egg and found the original recipe’s batter way too dry, so I customized it to my diet and tastes. I like to make a double batch of this and use 3/4 of the waffles to prep some of my…
My Favorite Gluten-Free Flour Blend Recipe
I don’t know about you, but I have a hard time paying $8 for a GF cup-for-cup flour blend. In fact, I’ve never bought even a bag of that stuff, on principle. Doesn’t seem right to capitalize that much on others’ health-related need for GF flours. But enough of my rant–let me tell you what…
Gluten-free Sugar-Free Blueberry Crumble Recipe
This is a no-fuss treat that both non-GF friends and GF folks all can enjoy together, and it’s great both warm or cold, as dessert or breakfast! I tend to serve this when we have company, since it’s quick and no-fail and makes the house smell great! (I use Wyman’s of Maine frozen wild blueberries, since…
