From my book Dairy-Free Ice Cream . Yummy Dairy Free Yogurt Drink You can use this Yummy Yogurt Drink to make the frozen yogurts in my dairy-free ice cream book, or use it to create a recipe of your own. It’s so simple, the only hard part is waiting while it does its magic. I gave away…
Seasoning by Lexie at Lexie’s Kitchen
When my good friend, Lexie, and I met up last she gave me some of her new seasoning to try. A few days later I added a little oil and a generous sprinkling of Lexie’s seasoning to some chicken and tossed it on the grill. You can’t quite tell, but we made more than enough…
Homemade Sauerkraut (fermented in a ceramic crock)
My husband, Andy, is so excited about this. I mean, I love it too, and so do the girls, but this is the first thing he’s made himself. First he tried fermenting the cabbage in mason jars, which has worked for some of our friends. But in a few days time ours were moldy. The…
Ooey Gooey Butter Cake (dairy-free, egg-free, grain-free)
Two words. Ooey. Gooey. When I was little this was my favorite cake. Not surprising since it’s sort of similar to a cheese danish, and cheese danish was my second favorite thing to eat. For years I tried to find the recipe for this cake, but we couldn’t remember its name. I searched for things like,…
N’oatmeal Bars (gluten free mock oatmeal bars)
Warning: These bars (and the cookies they’re based on) are seriously addictive. But don’t worry—they’re packed with protein and fiber thanks to the almond butter and shredded coconut. And they have very little (natural) sugar, thanks to my good friend Mr. Stevia 🙂 How did they come to be? That would be the brilliant Jenni,…
Therapeutic Riding at CTRC
I love spring. Especially the smell of flowers everywhere. And the sound of bugs at night. Love that. The girls and I took these photos on one of our daily walks. Lilacs are one of the best smells of spring, don’t you think? Mmm… At therapeutic riding, Ashley’s instructor has been taking…
Japanese Sweet Potato Baby Food
I made Japanese sweet potato puree for Ginger’s first solid food. She loves it. Garnet and Jewel work too, but they aren’t as creamy in taste or texture as the Japanese sweet potato. Besides, Japanese sweet potatoes were the only kind my health food store had a few days ago – so there you go…
Decadent 60 Second Choco-Chia “Milkshake”
Sometimes I am really lazy. Or just too busy to do things the “right” way. Like today. My linoleum floors were lookin’ a little dirty, but I couldn’t bring myself to get the mop out and clean them. So I pulled a modified Pippi Longstocking. No, I didn’t use brushes like Pippi—I’m not that…
Gluten Free Carrot Cake
I can’t get enough carrot cake lately. I’ve been making my friend Elana’s gluten free carrot cake, and I’ve been making my own. Can one ever have enough carrot cake? If I had to choose just one kind of cake, and I could never eat another kind again, it would have to be carrot cake. We like…
Lemon Herb Chicken
This is our new favorite chicken dish. It is so simple and yet such an explosion of flavor. I’ve always loved getting chicken with lemon sauce when we go out to eat, and now we can have it at home with organic ingredients. I’ve read that chicken (which isn’t organic) is fed arsenic to make…
