Since I’m intolerant to peanuts and gluten-free, sometimes it can be difficult to find delicious granola bars that don’t cost too much. I like to make these, wrap them in parchment paper to store in my freezer, then grab them to go. They are an especially satisfying pregnancy treat these days, as I am 28…

5 Minute Instant Pot Potato Bacon Chowder (Dairy Free option)
This is one of the first things I made in my Instant Pot *(which seemed intimidating to cook with at first but now I use it daily.) It’s the first recipe I recommend when a friend wants to know a good recipe to cook in their IP, too. I have made it for the neighbors…
No-Cook Calming Play-Dough (Gluten free Option)
If you happen to have glycerine, btw, not necessary but adding a few drops will help this be extra stretchy, smooth, and last a bit longer.
Crispy GF Gingerbread Cookie Recipe (Refined-Sugar-free, Egg-free, and Dairy-free)
This cookie recipe is free from the top 8 allergens as well as refined white sugar, since a lot of that makes me feel achey. My kids love cutting the cookies out and we all love sneaking the dough…no raw eggs to worry about! Preheat oven to 325*F. Makes 3 cookie sheets full. Put the…
The Surprising Outcome of my No Credit Month in 2019
A few days before November, I don’t recall what prompted it exactly, but I spoke to my hubby asking him to be on board with a “No Shopping November” challenge. Considering a few recent purchases (but not knowing we’d need a lot of work on our vehicle), he agreed that would be a good idea. …
Sheet Pan Frozen Mixed Veggies
One thing I buy frequently at COSCTO is their mixed frozen veggies. Did you know often frozen veggies have more nutritional value than the ones in your crisper drawer because they have been flash frozen directly from the field rather than sitting in a warehouse or on a shelf in the grocery store for a…
Key Lime Pie fix: Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free Snack
I am a member of an online food intolerance and food allergy support group…and more often than not, I am really deeply concerned that those of us with food intolerances are not getting the nutrition nor caloric intake we need to thrive. So here is a dessert that is not only keto-diet friendly and celiac-safe,…
IP Comfort Food: Gluten-Free Homemade Hamburger Helper (Low-FODMAP version)
My hubby can eat gluten, but I don’t react well to it, and our diets have consequently changed quite a bit over my health journey. So when the Hubs says he likes a certain type of food, I really want to figure out how to make it for him since he has had to give…
One Minute Instant Pot No-Fail Noodles
I like cooking and am glad it’s part of my job, but I don’t want to be a slave to my kitchen, and I’m guessing neither do you. That is another reason I love my Instant Pot. It makes my life a lot easier. Especially when it comes to making gluten-free noodles. I don’t like…
Should I Be Cooking Fresh Meals All the Time if I’m a SAHM?
Once a girlfriend who has twice as many kids as I wondered how often I cooked fresh meals, and was really relieved when I said I try cook less often but make bigger meals to have leftovers for the week. As a SAHM, sometimes people think (or we pressure ourselves) that we as moms ought…
