Sweet salted caramel, chocolate, and creamy ice cream… all rolled up into one luxurious and irresistible gluten-free treat! Those of you who follow my Facebook Page may have read that I recently had food sensitivity testing done (it was the…
Gluten Free Cinnamon Streusel Coffee Cake
Every Easter our church puts on a really nice brunch for the congregation. The couple that organizes it understands what it means to be gluten-free, and takes extra consideration when it comes to me and my gluten-free, dairy-free girls. Which is so amazing!! It is such a treat to have safe food at our brunch (omelets, bacon…
Sweet Potato Breakfast Skillet with Sausage
A few weeks ago I received this comment from reader, Mike, on my Sweet Potato Breakfast Skillet with Bacon recipe: “Thanks so much for this sweet potato zucchini egg recipe. I went paleo December 7th with great success, and have made this at least three times. I love it. I have really not had much difficulty at…

This Instant Pot White Bean Chicken Chili recipe is so easy and filling. It’s the perfect quick meal the entire family will love, made with ingredients commonly already found in one’s pantry! From reader Roger, “I just gave your recipe a try and my critique only requires one word……Outstanding! My daughter and I loved it….
Gluten Free Vegan Raspberry Sweet Rolls
Out of everything I cook and bake, gluten-free bread recipes are always my favorite recipes to create. They are challenging and cause me to think outside of the box. Most often, they frustrate me to no end, but the perfectionist in me always has to work at something until I get it just right. These…
Gluten Free Beer Battered Halibut
Being the good Alaskan girl I am, I couldn’t let all my gluten-free peeps down by not providing you a killer beer battered halibut recipe. I grew up eating fried halibut, but my mom would bread it with whatever was in the Krusteaz package (you know the one I’m talking about?); she would make a…
Gluten Free Chocolate Crinkles
When I was little, these Chocolate Crinkles were my favorite cookie. I liked that they were chocolate, but I super loved that they were rolled in powdered sugar and then crackled on the baking sheet as they cooked. They taste like decadent brownies, just in cookie form! While these Gluten Free Chocolate Crinkles are a sweeter recipe…
Sausage Stuffed Mini Peppers with Kale
I’m in shock that it’s December 14th. Wow! Where has the first half of December gone?! Thankfully, I started shopping on Amazon and Etsy for Christmas presents months ago (I LOVE Etsy!), so we are nearly done. Now it’s just getting through this week of work (I’m taking the week of the 21st off), cleaning,…
Gluten Free Dairy Free Sugar Cookies
I am SO happy to be sharing a new recipe with you today! It feels like, in terms of this site, I’ve fallen off the map. That’s mostly true. Working nearly 30 hours a week, homeschool, and a calendar full of appointments has me neglecting my passion. I promise you, I have no intentions of…
Gluten Free Vegan Sandwich Bread
I had a really good day today in the kitchen. It is so therapeutic for me to make a mess, sink my hands into dough, and bake all day… and that’s exactly what I did. See, what I haven’t shared with you, and what I hadn’t anticipated sharing, is that I’ve been working on a gluten-free,…
Part 2: When a Diet Doesn’t Heal Chronic Illness
When I first wrote When a Diet Doesn’t Heal Chronic Illness, it was an attempt to let loose some very raw emotions. I didn’t count on it turning into something so encouraging. The minute I clicked on the post publish button, the comments, emails, and Facebook messages started pouring in – in droves. I had no…
Smoked Salmon and Veggie Frittata
Darn autoimmune diseases. They totally messed up my exercise routine last week. I was so disappointed! It is such a battle when my mind is willing and able, but my body is not. 🙁 It all started with exhaustion, but when the pain set in at the bottom of my spine and I was overcome with horrible nausea, I…
Tropical Orange Fruit Snacks
You know the feeling when you’re working really hard to get something just right, and then suddenly a little one appears, and they give a giggle and sneak in for attack?! Yeah, that totally happens here all the time. This time I certainly couldn’t blame little Abbi though. These Tropical Orange Fruit Snacks are soooo…
Gluten Free Vegan Strawberry Pop Tarts
3.14.15 Happy Pi Day! What better way to celebrate Pi Day than with hand pies, that are made with a perfectly flaky crust, full of strawberry jam, and covered in a sweet glaze (a.k.a. pop tarts)? Did you ever eat pop tarts as a kid? I did; I liked mine toasted, and then covered in butter….
Chai Spiced Honey Granola with Coconut Oil
Have you seen Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day? Oh my goodness, it’s absolutely hilarious! We watched it last night as a family and really enjoyed it. I just love Steve Carell! In addition to spending some quality family time with my loves this weekend, Sunday afternoon I spent several hours prepping food for the…
Gluten-Free Chocolate Cupcakes with Toasted Marshmallow Frosting
We celebrated a birthday this week! Our little miss Abbi turned 6, which I still can’t believe. These past 6 years have flown by so quickly. When Abbi was about 2 years old we switched her to a completely gluten-free diet (you can read Abbi’s story in detail here, including information on her symptoms and…
Gluten Free Blueberry Coffee Cake
The girls and I recently went blueberry picking with my parents up north near Eureka. We had a great time, although being out in the wilds of Alaska is always a little nerve racking. If you surprise an unsuspecting bear, odds are a fun outing can turn dangerous extremely fast. Which is why my dad…
Best Gluten-Free Chicken Nuggets
Someone once told me they felt horrible for my girls because they could never eat at McDonald’s due to their allergies. Truth is, I’m SO HAPPY we (myself included) can’t eat there. We’ve all heard the rumors about what’s really in the chicken nuggets, and that is enough for me never to want to eat there –…
Grain-Free Aloha Pizza Pockets
You know how it is when you’re a parent of kiddos with food allergies… coming up with new fun ways to feed them is difficult. In the last several weeks I’ve really tried to focus on creating new recipes for my girls. They eat well, lots of veggies and whole foods, but every so often I…
