Here’s the thing about eating healthy: You can even have dessert for breakfast! Yesterday I made my Vanilla Pudding (below) and this morning I walked into the kitchen, saw the bananas were ripe, and said to myself, “I’ll make my bananas foster for breakfast!” It’s a little different from the one they serve in restaurants…
Almond & Orange Spinach Salad
Words can not express how much I love my almond & orange spinach salad! Spinach salads are the way to my heart to begin with, but add the almond and orange dressing, the fresh sliced oranges and chopped almonds, plus the caramelized onions…. I am in taste bud heaven 🙂 This is a dinner I…
Leaf Vegetarian Restaurant
While my Mom was in town she wanted to treat us to a special lunch, which is why we had the pleasure of eating at Leaf in Boulder. Leaf is a vegetarian restaurant just behind Aji on Pearl, and although it doesn’t have a gluten-free menu like Aji, the staff are well informed on gluten-free….
Frozen Sunbutter Fudge
My daughter has struggled with yeast overgrowth in her body, so we avoid peanuts, which grow in the ground and carry fungus (not that this mold is really good for any of us). I came up with this recipe using Sunbutter (sunflower seed butter) because it has a similar taste to peanut butter and everyone…
Zolo Grill, Boulder, CO
This weekend we went to the Boulder Creek Festival, and had lunch beforehand at Zolo Grill. It’s been a while since we’ve eaten there, because it’s a little expensive for us, so it was a nice treat. They have a gluten-free menu, which you can preview on their website, and the food there is amazing….
Frozen Cafe au Lait
If you are dairy-free and you haven’t made cashew milk yet, please do! It’s delicious, and it makes a great substitute for cream, like in my dairy-free frozen cafe au lait. I used to envy my friends with their Starbucks frappuccinos, but no longer! When I get that yearning I just come home and whip up one…
Off topic: 30 today!
There are a few areas of my life which I think are interesting and worthy of a website. However, in order to really enjoy these many facets, I simply don’t have time to blog them all. Today though, I’m breaking off-topic, in honor of my joie de vie! So here’s a page from one of…
Fiona’s Quinoa Bar
We were able to meet Fiona, of Fiona’s Granola, at the farmers market in Boulder, and I was thrilled to find out that a few of her treats are gluten-free, like the Almond Chocolate Chip Quinoa Energy Bar. It is really yummy. I am eating one now to tell you what it tastes like, and I…
Chocolate Chip Bars
I have a confession to make. It could be said in the land of gluten-free baked goods, I have only one vice, my chocolate chip bars. They are so good I could just eat them all day, and why not? The almond butter and quinoa are full of vitamins, enzymes, and protein. The coconut oil…
Gluten Free Banana Bread
One thing I think we all have in common is the desire to recreate our mother’s banana bread – gluten-free. I have fond memories of eating a warm, fresh slice of banana bread in my childhood kitchen, looking to my mom with such admiration for her cooking abilities. Who knew that baking banana bread qualified…
