How we handle Halloween junk- The Sneaky Scarecrow
October 30, 2012 By 2 Comments
Halloween always fills me with a mix of emotions. On the one hand I want my children to get to enjoy the holiday, but on the other hand it’s stressful to have to deal with them getting a bunch of candy they can’t eat. My oldest (9) has a life-threatening peanut allergy, making Halloween a particularly scary time of year. When he was a toddler I came up with the idea of the Sneaky Scarecrow. The Sneaky Scarecrow is similar {Read More}

I know I’ve mentioned it before, but I’ll say it again- I feel so much better since I took gluten out of my diet. Like whole-new-person better. Night and day better. Better than I’ve ever felt better. All the seemingly random weird annoying symptoms I’ve had for years have disappeared. But. One new symptom popped up. Literally. Since I changed my diet my skin has been a total wreck! Worse than middle school bad. Want to wear a ski mask {Read More}
Pumpkin Pie Smoothie

I adore Fall. I love how the light changes outside. The sounds of leaves moving in the trees. Crisp air. Getting cozy under a blanket. The scents of cinnamon and soup. And of course, my pumpkin obsession. Since we live in SoCal, it isn’t quite Fall weather here yet. Slowly but surely we’re noticing a temperature drop, but it isn’t cool yet. So, this morning we needed some Fall flavors to convince us that we won’t be sweating all the {Read More}

Smokey Pumpkin Quesadilla

I bought a case of organic pumpkin puree this morning. 12 cans. I’m guessing that’ll last our family a good solid 2 weeks. Haha! I am absolutely in love with pumpkin. And because I am the main cook around here, my children have also learned to love pumpkin. We will likely eat hundreds of pumpkin muffins this Fall. Pumpkin pie smoothies. Pumpkin oatmeal. Pumpkin ice cream. Pumpkin chili. Pumpkin tacos. Seriously people- if there is a way to sneak pumpkin {Read More}
7 Ways to Make Going Gluten-Free Easier
October 4, 2012 By 1 Comment
This month is Celiac Awareness Month! In honor of that, I plan to do several post about Celiac Disease and Gluten Intolerance. Today’s post is all about making the transition to a gluten-free lifestyle virtually seamless. Going gluten-free can seem very daunting, especially to people who are not well versed in a real food diet. A diet that is heavy on processed food is also heavy on gluten containing foods, since gluten is an ingredient in many items. Hopefully these {Read More}
Chocolate Breakfast Pie

We have a few games we play at our house surrounding food. They are called “Name those ingredients”, “Identify the nutrients in those ingredients”, and “Give the recipe a name”. This recipe is so simple that it took my family no time to identify what’s in it. And the ingredients are staples around here, so they were quick to remember why they are good for our bodies. It was the naming of this recipe that led to lots of discussion. {Read More}
Raw Milk vs. Conventional (Pasteurized & Homogenized)
October 2, 2012 By Leave a Comment
I recently posted about why whole milk is superior to low-fat and fat free milk. Today’s post addresses raw milk vs. conventional (pasteurized & homogenized) milk. There’s no way I can summarize all the information I want to share about raw milk (believe me, I’ve been attempting to write this post for months now), so I am just going to share links to other articles. These writers are much more articulate than I am- and it’s already written! What is {Read More}
