Happy Spring! Well, it might be spring in other parts of the country, but here in Alaska, it’s still chilly. It’s 31 degrees (F) at my house and it has been snowing all day. There are buds on the trees though, and my basil and cilantro plants sprouted that the girls and I planted a [...]

Grab & Go! Oatmeal Breakfast Bars
Believe it or not, these Grab & Go! Oatmeal Breakfast Bars were the result of a homeschool assignment yesterday. My daughter, Kylie (age 7), and I rewrote a recipe from Laura Ingalls (THE Laura Ingalls, also known as Laura Ingalls Wilder). Over the past few school years, I’ve been using curriculum from Moving Beyond the [...]
Gluten Free Country Seed Bread
I haven’t been baking my Gluten & Rice Free Multigrain Bread as often as I used to since I’ve been trying to cut back on our family’s bread intake. I’m still trying to eat mostly grain free too (I feel better when I’m mostly grain free). This morning though, my silly girl, Abbi (age 4), [...]

If you are new to this series, make sure you check out part 1 and part 2 of “Things I feed my (gluten free & whole food) kids! Breakfast/Snacks: Grapes & Strawberries- It isn’t very often we get to enjoy fresh strawberries (or grapes) for that matter around here. They are generally too expensive, but [...]
Grain Free Sushi for Kids (fully cooked)
My love affair with sushi started when I was in high school. My boyfriend then, and his mom, took me to eat sushi at the one Japanese style restaurant we had in our small town of Kodiak. I had never tried it before (my parents were definitely not sushi eaters). When I received my meal, [...]
Easy 2-Ingredient Chocolates (soy & nut free, vegan)
True confession: I used to hate Valentine’s Day. Like seriously disliked it. Every year I’d set unrealistic expectations about the silly holiday and always, always end up disappointed. It wasn’t until after I was married that my ideals and expectations about Valentine’s Day changed. How precious and blessed am I to be loved by a [...]

Things I feed my (gluten free & whole food) kids, Part 1
If you follow me on Facebook, you’ll know I started a photo album this past week titled, “Things I Feed My Kids,” with the intention of sharing what I feed my gluten, dairy, and mostly corn free girls (ages 7 and 4). There are rumors flying around that Facebook is making even more changes in [...]
Raw Beet, Carrot & Apple Salad with Ginger Lime Dressing
Beets are not something I would normally purchase, so working with them was a new experience (but a good one!). After a quick search online, I found that beets are highly nutritious (especially when eaten raw) and contain antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and detoxification properties. They’ve even been thought to have anti-cancer benefits. All the more reason [...]
No Bake Rice Crispy Treat Granola Bars
The New Year has gotten off to quite the bang for me. I haven’t been feeling well for weeks. My nervous system (thanks to my autoimmune disease) has been in a “heightened” state, causing all sorts of things in my body to be imbalanced. I’ve had bouts of nausea, more IBS and digestive issues, chills, [...]
