It’s pouring here – a cool 54 degrees (F). The leaves are falling and it’s getting darker earlier, indicating summer is quickly coming to a close. We Alaskans often joke that we only have 2 seasons up here: winter and road construction. All joking aside, it’s true – we hardly have a spring or fall, but…

Ancheta Family Favorites July 2014
This Ancheta Family Favorites July 2014 post is something I’ve been toying with for a while. The idea was to share with you a mish-mash of what our family loves- from books and apps, to the brand of jeans I wear, to gluten free products and local programs we love and recommend. I don’t know how…
Gluten Free & Vegan Spinach Tortillas
I have such a big treat for you today! Gluten free tortillas, that are not only egg free and vegan, but nut free, too! Woo-hoo! We have used these Gluten Free & Vegan Spinach Tortillas for tacos, tuna wraps, wraps with lunch meat and veggies, breakfast wraps, etc. They stand up really well to whatever you…
Grain Free & Vegan Twisty Flax Sticks
I know most of you came here just for the Grain Free & Vegan Twisty Flax Sticks recipe, but before we jump in to that, there’s 2 new release cookbooks that I don’t want you to miss out on! The first one is from my friend, Jeanine of The Baking Beauties: Breakfast Beauties contains 25 gluten-free recipes…
Grain-Free & Vegan Tortillas (and a giveaway!)
There is something special about tortillas. I wouldn’t call them a comfort food, but there’s nothing better than being able to eat a soft taco stuffed to the brim with all the fixin’s. You know what I mean?! These Grain-Free & Vegan Tortillas are totally legit. They look like the real thing (a gluten-filled white…
Ultimate Paleo Chocolate Chip Cookies
These Ultimate Paleo Chocolate Chip Cookies are my favorite cookies. They are crispy on the outside, yet chewy and soft on the inside. I make these for my family when we want a treat or a pick me up (I may have even let my girls have 2 for breakfast the other day… but I won’t…
Vegan Tomato Soup
This satisfying vegan tomato soup is creamy and delicious. Made with canned tomatoes and other items normally stocked in one’s pantry, this recipe is easy to prepare and thoroughly comforting. One cold afternoon, several years ago, I was tired. It had been a long day, and I didn’t take the time to pull anything out…

Big & Soft Paleo Ginger Molasses Cookies
These Big & Soft Paleo Ginger Molasses Cookies certainly live up to their name. They are big, and so soft they nearly melt in your mouth. Bet you can’t eat just one! Oh goodness… I can’t believe it’s December! What happened to November?! In less than 2 weeks AJ and I will celebrate our 10th…
Traditional Stuffing with Parsley, Sage & Thyme
Whenever I think of Thanksgiving meal, my mind immediately goes straight to dessert (like to Dairy Free Eggnog, Guilt-Free Pecan Pie Cookies or Maple Pumpkin Pie). But coming in at a close second is always stuffing. I love stuffing, especially slathered in gravy and mingled with small bits of turkey or whatever else is…
Gluten & Dairy Free Maple Pumpkin Pie
This Gluten & Dairy Free Maple Pumpkin Pie is a hit at every holiday gathering. Most of our friends are completely surprised it’s entirely refined sugar free, let alone gluten and dairy-free. The first Thanksgiving that I was gluten, dairy, and refined sugar free was interesting. It wasn’t bad by any means, just different. I was…
Paleo Animal Crackers
I loved animal crackers as a child. My mom would frequently buy them for me as a treat. I would play with them, bite a head off, play with them some more, dismember a bear… It sounds much more gruesome than it is, BUT admit it – you did it too! I wanted my children to…
Lemony Cedar Planked Salmon with Garlic & Dill
It’s been a busy weekend for us, filled with lots of errand running, cleaning, reorganizing, and furniture shuffling. Abbi’s birthday is coming up soon, so as an early birthday present, we got rid of her toddler bed and upgraded her to a twin bed with a new comforter/sheet ensemble. When Abbi saw her new bed…
Save Money & Make Your Own Roast Beef Lunch Meat
Yesterday I posted this picture (seen below) on Facebook of a 5 pound beef bottom roast that I cooked to use as lunch meat over the next few weeks. While I knew I would get a response from you, I wasn’t expecting the overwhelming response I received. Many of you asked for my recipe, so…
Dairy Free Pumpkin Spice Coffee Creamer (Vegan/No Sugar Added)
I normally don’t take creamer in my coffee. Well, at least not anymore. I used to. Up until I changed my diet and couldn’t find the right sort of dairy free creamer substitute. I tried everything from dairy free coffee creamers to canned coconut milk to any and every dairy free milk under the sun….

Zucchini Apple Bread or Muffins
I had such an amazing trip back home to Kodiak Island, Alaska! For 4 days I played on the beaches, acted like a tourist visiting the boat harbors, and caught up with old friends. It was fabulous. And in typical Kodiak fashion, it rained and blew sideways the first 2 days I was there, but…
Zucchini & Sweet Potato Hash Browns
I fell in love with my husband over a skillet of breakfast hash. Okay, honestly I was already in love with the man, but some of my favorite memories of us in our early years include sharing a breakfast skillet at a local diner. The diner was known for their huge breakfast skillets, and would…

White Cioppino with Kale (Seafood Stew)
It might not be officially fall, but it feels somewhat fall-ish here in Alaska. The temps have dropped, the leaves are falling, and I have the sudden urge to make Dairy Free Peppermint Hot Cocoa (a stevia sweetened version of it anyways) and wear my goose down vest. I’m sad to have to say goodbye…
