Last weekend we had some crazy weather, though not uncommon for this area. Saturday was the start of the farmers market, and the warmest day we’ve had yet this year. It was sunny, not windy for a change, and 70 degrees. Just lovely. Which meant that everyone was at the Boulder farmers market. It was…
Chocolate Chip Coconut Pancakes, gluten-free
Today Zoe said that she wanted to make pancakes for breakfast. Okay =) So, I thought we would try a new recipe (because I just can’t help myself 😉 Based on my gluten free crepe recipe, we blended up these coconut chocolate chip pancakes. Now, I have to be honest with you here, and you might…
Nutty Gluten Free Banana Bread
This pregnancy I have been craving one thing above all else. PROTEIN. I can’t get enough of it. So I decided to try pumping up my gluten free banana bread recipe with quinoa flakes and almonds, to get more protein in. You may know that quinoa is the only grain that is a complete protein…
Mock Peanut Butter Cups
Even if my kids didn’t have allergies, and I weren’t celiac, I would still prefer homemade Easter candy. Do you know what drives me crazy about store-bought candy? The refined sugar, the dairy, the gluten, and the peanuts. Try finding candy without those four ingredients. It’s nearly impossible. I know there are a couple out…
DIY Glass Sippy Cup
Check out my new invention. Kelly has mentioned that we reuse glass jars for food storage. St. Dalfour jam jars are particularly suited for little kids’ hands. Well, this morning we had a little accident where Ashley dropped the jar and her blueberry smoothie splashed everywhere. To prevent this from happening again I turned the…
Eggs Julia
As you know if you follow me on Facebook, I’ve been obsessed with Elegance with Eggs, a video of Julia Child from 1964. Since watching the video (twice) I’ve made eggs in ramekins three times, the way Julia does in the video. They are so awesome, I had to bring them up one more time…
Enjoy Life Cookie Review
Enjoy Life is so kind to send me samples of new products to try, which we happily do 🙂 We have been long-time fans of Enjoy Life. When we drove to Salt Lake City, we ate Enjoy Life trail mix. It was great—a road-trip must-have. This time they sent us three kinds of cookies. Just…
Dairy free Yogurt #3, Raspberry & Almond flavor
Last week a friend of mine came to visit. So exciting. I wanted to make us some dairy free yogurt, but I decided to try a new flavor, based on my best dairy free yogurt recipe. Thinking she might be hungry after flying in, I brought her a jar to try on the drive home…
Green C-Monster Smoothie
Vanilla Almond Strawberry Gluten-Free Granola
Last week Zoe was asking me to buy cereal. *Groan* We haven’t been cereal people for years. I think it’s the least healthy way to start your day. I’m all about keeping our blood sugar even, not spiking it first thing in the morning. My girls are homeschooled, so who would get to deal with…
