My, oh, my March was a crazy busy month. And as I look back through my posts I see that I was quite busy in the kitchen! More than I realized. Maybe that’s why my body is so stressed out. I did pretty well with my goals. I focused a lot of my attention on …

Gluten Free Nut Free Peanut Butter Cookies and Blossoms
When I was little you didn’t hear much about food allergies or restrictions. You didn’t have to worry about bringing treats to school or having nut free rooms. Almost every year for my birthday treat I had my mom make peanut butter blossoms. My favorite! Fast forward to now…you can’t bring anything into a school …
Gluten Free Pretzel Sticks (gluten free, egg free, dairy free, nut free, corn free)
My daughter loves salt, as do I 🙂 So she enjoys munching on pretzels. But if you’ve ever looked at a package of gluten free pretzels you’ll know that they are made with quite a few odd and unhealthy ingredients. I’d rather not have her eating them. As usual, my solution is to make my own …
Soaked Gluten Free Muffins/Cupcakes (dairy free, nut free)
As we continue to experiment with a gluten free diet I want to be sure my daughter doesn’t feel like everything is being taken away. She is very sensitive about that. So I’m trying to make plenty of homemade treats that are safe and I feel good about feeding her. Yesterday I decided to try …

I loved Nutter Butters when I was younger. But I haven’t had one in many, many years. A crunchy cookie with a peanut buttery filling. That …
Gluten Free Crackers (dairy free, nut free, egg free)
I’ve been on a quest lately to come up with some good tasting gluten free snacks. I like to have easy things to much on. But more than that I want to have healthy options for my kids. So over the last few days I’ve made several attempts at gluten free crackers. After the third …

It is officially spring! And outside it looks like the middle of winter 😛 At least we’ve had a little bit of sun and much of the snow has melted. But it doesn’t look like we’re headed for a big warm up any time soon. Last was a busy week in the kitchen. I did …
Would You Be Mine, Could You Be Mine, Won’t You Be My Sister?
A week ago I had the privilege of attending the Among Friends conference at Trinity Church in Lansing, MI. It was a wonderful experience that I got to share with some of the women in my family. Karen Hossink and Kathy Troccoli singing the closing song…way to go Karen!! 🙂 I have never been to a …
Soaked Teff Porridge
I’m always looking for new breakfast ideas that are quick, easy and have plenty of gluten free starch/carbohydrates…and that I tolerate. Not an easy task. I decided to experiment with porridge/oatmeal. I can’t eat oats. But I can eat other gf grains. So I mixed up a quick teff porridge the other day. It was …
