It has been so hot lately and I had such a craving for a frozen treat. I took a look at some of the novelty ice cream treats at the store, but couldn’t find anything that met my criteria: all natural, chocolate, and the appropriate serving size. Something under 150 […]

Slowly but surely, I am converting all of my favorite recipes into gluten-free, belly-friendly recipes. I’m also compiling them to create a cookbook for my own personal use. It’s nothing fancy, just a three-ring binder with my recipes and photos inserted into page protectors. Maybe one of these days I’ll go […]

We were getting dangerously low in chocolate in our house, so I needed to make something. Needed. You see, I allow myself one piece of chocolate per day. Usually it’s my “dessert” at dinner. The caveat is that is has to be dark chocolate. Well, I guess it’s not a […]

Chex Mix can easily be made gluten-free by using Corn and Rice Chex and gluten-free pretzels. What a great snack! One of the dangers of working in a grocery store is always being exposed to food and getting certain cravings for those foods. I’m glad that I work on the opposite […]

These muffins are delicious with a cup of coffee on a cool morning. In addition to them being gluten-free and grain-free, they are also low in sugar. I’ve had a lot of fun converting my favorite recipes into wheat-free and lower-sugar versions. One of my favorites is Double Chocolate Almond Banana Muffins. […]

My husband and I celebrated our anniversary yesterday. I can’t believe it’s been 13 years. Those years have brought so many trials and tribulations, but I wouldn’t change a thing. We’ve lived through a cancer diagnosis, a MS diagnosis, lay-offs, moves and a career change. It’s been tough, but without […]

This is the pizza we eat at least twice a month. It consists of fresh, natural ingredients and a tasty gluten-free crust from a mix. Easy and delicious! (This is not a low-FODMAP recipe.) I’ll admit that I haven’t been excited about blogging and photography lately. I’ve been so into my […]

This recipe is my healthy version of the gluten-free salad found at Green Mill. We don’t eat out that much, but we have gotten a little familiar with what restaurants have gluten-free selections. Salads are usually a good bet for not containing wheat. We went to the Green Mill recently and both […]

This gluten-free, colorful, Greek-inspired salad is perfect for summertime, either as a side dish, or a vegetarian lunch entree. I created this recipe last year, but just realized I never blogged about it! This recipe is not IBS friendly, unless you leave out the shallots, which I have done and it […]

This dish is mild, but delicious. Mushrooms, tilapia and Parmesan cheese are the perfect medley of flavors! I love mushrooms, and lucky for me, I can tolerate them too! Mushrooms are one of those foods on the “to try in moderation” list for fructose malabsorption. I’ve heard that they can […]
