Leaving Whole Foods Richer Than You Were Before: Only In Texas!

When I saw her standing in front of the frozen gluten free breads’ case, I assumed she was buying for her grandchildren.  As I stood next to her trying to decide what to buy, she spoke… Sandy: So, you do gluten free, too? Me: Oh. Yes. Actually, my three children and I all eat gluten… Read More Leaving Whole Foods Richer Than You Were Before: Only In Texas!

Gluten Free Friday ~ Pumpkin Love Smoothie

  It is just so beautiful here now!  The leaves are at peak colors, it’s breezy today, the sky is blue, and it’s a perfect 65 degrees. (Perfect for SOME people, that is.  My perfect is more like 85 degrees, but Robert simply loves to pull on his fleece jackets.)  We went for a 6… Read More Gluten Free Friday ~ Pumpkin Love Smoothie

Cold, Rainy, Fall Day = Pumpkin Tartlets

Here’s another recipe re-post!  It’s cold and rainy here today ~ can’t seem to get warm in my own house, even with lots of layers!  Thankful that our field trip to the Apple Barn for apple-picking, a hay ride, and pumpkin-picking was canceled this morning, but getting a little weary of the rain up in… Read More Cold, Rainy, Fall Day = Pumpkin Tartlets

Gluten Free Friday ~ Camping Gluten Free

 Recently, I was asked to share my “emotional transition” story in having to adjust to a gluten free diet.  What’s funny is that I had to share that I  had a difficult time relating to those who were having an emotional transition, since I was just so relieved to discover that my son’s (the first… Read More Gluten Free Friday ~ Camping Gluten Free

The Other Surprise in the Mail

 Well, this post didn’t get up on Friday like I said it would.  We had a marriage conference at church this weekend including our church and our three church plants.  It started on Friday and went all day on Saturday.  I also had to drive Kory to a weekend youth conference an hour away (=… Read More The Other Surprise in the Mail

Gluten Free Friday ~ 10a.m & 3p.m.. = Snack Time

Maybe you’ve noticed that I don’t always get a recipe up on Fridays.  I have posted some recipes lately, but not always on Friday, so I sort of stopped naming the recipe posts “Gluten Free Friday.”  In the last couple of weeks, though, several people have told me that they have referred family or friends… Read More Gluten Free Friday ~ 10a.m & 3p.m.. = Snack Time

Weekly Meal Traditions Part 2: Gluten Free Buttermilk Pancakes

Not sure when this one started, but for quite a while now, we’ve made giant buttermilk pancakes and served them with a side of a sausage and egg scramble on Sunday nights.  Besides our Friday movie and pizza night, this is the one night of the week that my kids (or any of us, really!)… Read More Weekly Meal Traditions Part 2: Gluten Free Buttermilk Pancakes

A Nice Review of My Book…

Just wanted to let you know of a review that Gluten Free Chef and Author, Tina Turbin, did of my book today on her site. You can read the review here.

Farm Fresh Smoothie for a Full Day

Is it obvious how much I love smoothies? I think I have one for breakfast at least 3 times a week. They can be so delicious and full of healthy ingredients all at the same time. Our farm share began this week, so on Tuesday I came home with strawberries, kale, radishes, turnips, spinach, lettuce,… Read More Farm Fresh Smoothie for a Full Day
