I know some of you parents can relate. Since removing gluten and corn from my girl’s diets, they have not had the luxury of fun colorful sprinkles on their birthday cakes or frosted holiday cookies either. There may be a company that sells gluten and corn free sprinkles, but I haven’t come across one. AND [...]
It’s 43 degrees (F) and raining here in South-central Alaska. It’s chilly, damp, and my baby girl has a cold with a fever.

Do you remember what you ate in high school? I do; it’s scary to think what my diet mostly consisted of: saltines, goldfish crackers, mochas, Subway subs (I was a certified “sandwich artist”), whatever my mom could get me to eat, and chicken tenders and jojos (fried potato wedges) from our local grocery store deli.

My husband and I went on a date a few weeks ago. The restaurant we went to had these amazing dates… wrapped in bacon and stuffed with goat cheese (and they were even gluten free). They were to die for. Since then, I’ve wanted to recreate the bacon wrapped dates. I finally bought some bacon [...]
Blueberries grow wild in Alaska. We had tons of blueberry bushes in Kodiak where I grew up and {much to my mother’s delight} I loved to pick them! My friends and I would go blueberry picking and come home with our little buckets full of blueberries. We would fill the kitchen sink up with water, [...]
