The theme for the Gluten Free Menu Swap over at Celiac Family is after school snacks. My daughter thankfully is doing a half day kindergarten, so when she gets out of school we just go home and eat lunch! She does have snack in school, but last year she mostly just ate gluten-free pretzel sticks….
August Is the New January!
I was sitting in my living room the other day with the fan on full blast, listening to the air conditioner coming on again, and just pondering how hot it was. I came to the conclusion that August in Florida is as bad as January is in a northern state. By August I am so…
Menu Plan Monday, August 11th!
The theme for the Gluten Free Menu Swap over at Celiac Family is packing gluten-free lunches for back to school!

What Kind of Job Do You Really Have?
During college my sister and I hung out a lot during the summer at our job in the local (then) community college. It was an awesome job to have because it was on campus, you could and would take off time to go to class and during slow times you could work on homework or…
Christmas All Year Round
Today, I successfully used one of my Christmas presents for the first time! I was excited because zucchini noodles seem a lot healthier than corn or rice noodles! And top those noodles with fresh tomato sauce made with tomatoes from our garden, and vegan Parmesan cheese and you have a delightful lunch! I feel like…
