Those of you who follow my family journal blog know that we got a giant bag of oranges from our friend’s farm this week. They are so good. We’ve been eating them alone, making fresh orange juice, and I even made yet another orange pie. 🙂 Then Heather had a great idea: make Chocolate Orange…
vanilla almond smoothie dairy-free, soy-free, sugar-free
It is 90 degrees here today, and so I want nothing to do with hot or cooked food. Instead, I had this nice, cool smoothie for lunch, and it was so delicious. Honestly, Vitol Egg Protein Powder is so yummy, it doesn’t even need other ingredients. Still, I couldn’t resist making it even more healthy…
mini almond butter blueberry muffins
I needed to order more Vitol (the best protein powder ever) last week and I noticed that if there were anything else I may need, which could count toward the “super-saver,” then I could receive free shipping. Hmm… Get a couple more things, if there is anything I need, and receive free shipping. Well, there…
bite-size almond butter freezer treats
At a hike with friends this morning we were talking about uses for almond butter, which reminded me of these bite-size freezer treats. So we came home and made some! (After I accidentally sat on a cactus -ouch!) They were so good we ate half while we were making them! ♥, Kelly Cinnamon Raisin Bite-Size…
mango salsa
Today we went for a really long bike ride, and stopped at the farmers market on the way for lunch. It was such a lovely spring day. Late this afternoon, when we got back, and the girls were playing outside with the neighborhood kids, I decided to make mango salsa. I could just eat this…
Simple Roasted Chicken
My favorite way to eat chicken is roasted. Restaurants and grocery stores would like us to think this is not a luxury we could manage in our own home oven, and though I do sometimes feel drawn to those expensive rotisserie ovens which spin whole birds on a spic, I tell myself it isn’t necessary….
chicken stew
We were all set for 20 or more inches of snow. Kitchen and pantry stocked, shoes inside, bikes covered in the driveway… And then it rained, and rained and rained — for two days straight! We made stew anyway though, after all, it was cold and rainy. 🙂 I don’t even measure when I make…
Gluten Free Butternut Squash Lasagna
Guess what, guess what, guess what??? I made the butternut squash lasagna, and ohhh… is it divine!!! I don’t know if it’s because I had baked the squash the day before, or because I’ve already made this cream sauce a few times, so I was familiar with it, but it didn’t seem to take very…
Costco? Oh, yea!
I suspect most of you are going to read this post and let out a big, “DUH, Kelly!” But just on the off chance that some of you are living in the dark, like I was, I thought I would share my latest discovery. That and I’m just so freakin’ excited I’m bouncing off the…
Best gluten-free lasagna EVER!
I don’t mean to toot my own horn here, but this is the best gluten-free, casein-free lasagna – ever! LOL I don’t know how people who aren’t celiac or gluten-intolerant feel, after they eat a pound of gluten and dairy (otherwise known as lasagna), but I used to have to unbutton and unzip my pants,…
