When my parents were married, my dad gave my mom a jewelry box with an inscription on the inside. It said, “A Pie a Week Keeps the Husband Sweet.” Needless to say, after more than 40 years of marriage, mom became an expert pie maker. I spent years baking with mom to learn her craft….

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…
Perfect Gluten-Free Egg-Free Granola Bars
It’s August already… I can’t even believe it. School starts here in another few short weeks, although since I homeschool our children, we school on a somewhat year-round basis. Schooling almost year-round gives us the opportunity to take breaks whenever something fun presents itself, regardless of when that might be. That’s something I really love about homeschool – the…

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 Free Apple Pie
This Mom’s Amazing Gluten Free & Vegan Apple Pie is so delicious. It’s hard to say which is the star of the show: the apple filling perfectly smothered in a sweet layer of cinnamon and nutmeg, or the buttery-like gluten free flaky pie crust. It’s a match made in heaven! From reader Shataia W.: “I…
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…

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…
Mashed Cauliflower with Roasted Garlic & Chives
Several weeks ago I was checking out at the grocery store when the man behind me was inspecting the goods in my cart and says, “Wow, you eat really healthy; you’ve got a lot of produce there.” The man went on to tell me he owned a farm, which to my surprise was located within…
Slammin’ Alaska Salmon Burgers with Garlic Dill Aioli

Gluten Free Breakfast Cookies
These Protein Packed Monster Breakfast Cookies (grain, egg & nut free) are a reader favorite. Packed with protein and healthy fats, no one would ever know these are so allergy friendly.

Naturally Dyed Homemade Sprinkles (grain, sugar & top-8 allergen free)
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…
Creamy Chicken & Mushroom Soup (dairy free & Paleo)
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. After an emotional week last week, Abbi girl and I were in need of some serious nourishing comfort food, so I decided to make soup using some of the beautiful baby Portobellos…
Paleo Chicken Tenders
These easy baked Paleo Chicken Tenders are one of our favorite low-carb / Keto meals. They are quick and easy, and much healthier than the fried variation! 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…
