When Go Dairy Free asked me join their summer recipe contest and develop a recipe using one of So Delicious Dairy Free’s nut-based or coconut-based ice creams, I knew instantly I wanted to use the cashew-based Salted Caramel Cluster ice cream. It’s my absolute favorite! It’s smooth, creamy, and filled with sweet ripples of salted…

Ground Turkey Soup
When I need a nourishing bowl of warm comfort food, this Ground Turkey Soup with quinoa recipe is what I make. With flavorful ground turkey, tangy tomatoes, fiber rich veggies, and protein packed quinoa, it’s a staple meal in our house. I make it at least 2-3 times a month, even my kiddos devour it. …
Gluten Free Rhubarb Muffins with Cinnamon Sugar Topping
Rhubarb is thriving right now! Well… thriving everywhere except my garden. Did you know salting your driveway in the winter can nearly kill your rhubarb?! If it’s located near your driveway anyways… Fortunately I have a good friend who gave me a ton of it though, so I’ve still been able to indulge and play in…
Paleo Vegan Double Chocolate Protein Cookies
If these Paleo Vegan Double Chocolate Protein Cookies look somewhat familiar to you, it’s because they are the chocolate version of my vegan, Paleo, and nut-free Protein Packed Monster Breakfast Cookies. That recipe is one of the most popular recipes on my website, and is definitely a family favorite around our house. The girls love…
Tuna and Bacon Quinoa Bowl with Lemony Vinaigrette
This Tuna and Bacon Quinoa Bowl with Lemony Vinaigrette came to fruition one afternoon when I was trying to think of some new easy and convenient, yet healthy meal ideas. We’ve been so busy lately, that our dinners have often times been made on the fly. “Fast food” in our family does not mean running through…
No Corn Jalapeno Cornbread Muffins
Don’t you miss cornbread? I sure do. My mom would make cornbread for our family whenever we had chili for dinner (or sometimes I would make it). We would top it with a pat of butter and a drizzle of honey. It was perfect. I really wanted to recreate something similar for my girls that…
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…
Instant Pot White Chicken Chili
This Instant Pot White 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. I don’t know about you, but I just love Instant Pot frozen chicken recipes! This Instant Pot Chicken Chili recipe is actually the result…
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 Sweet Tortilla Pizza
A lot has happened since I last posted! We added to our family – Lily, a yellow lab puppy, joined our pack just over 3 weeks ago. She’s a sweet girl, but full of mischief and energy. She makes our hearts happy and keeps us on our toes! I also quit my job! I’m happy…
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 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,…
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…
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…
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 –…
Sweet Potato Breakfast Skillet with Bacon
This Sweet Potato Breakfast Skillet with Bacon isn’t just for breakfast. It’s my go-to recipe for a hearty evening meal. The sweet and salty combination of the sweet potatoes and bacon is absolutely addicting. Temp: 58 (F) Album: Sam Smith – In the Lonely Hour Craving: A glass of Marietta Old Vine Red & my pjs We cleaned…
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…
Simple Homemade Pizza Sauce
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…
