Cold crisp cucumbers are combined with tart cherry tomatoes, premium quality tuna, nutty quinoa, and salty bacon in this Tuna and Bacon Quinoa Bowl. 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…

No Corn Cornbread Muffins
These No Corn Cornbread Muffins are tender, slightly sweet, and a little crumbly with a hint of jalapeno. I think you will be pleasantly surprised by how close in taste they are to real cornbread! Don’t you miss cornbread? I sure do. My mom would make cornbread for our family whenever we had chili…

A melt-in-your-mouth tender gluten-free coffee cake, with a cinnamon streusel topping that’s to die for. Think delectable gluten-free cinnamon roll, just without all the work!

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 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
These sausage stuffed mini peppers are a colorful low-carb and gluten-free show stopper, filled with protein and veggies. Everyone always goes for seconds (or thirds!)!

Gluten Free Vegan Bread
This gluten-free vegan bread is a hearty gluten-free bread I like to pair with a hearty soup or stew. It’s tender on the inside, and has a tight crumb. 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…
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 –…

This Sweet Potato Breakfast Skillet with Bacon isn’t just for breakfast. It’s my go-to recipe for a hearty evening meal.

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…

Vegan & Paleo Fudge Tracks Ice Cream
Creamy vanilla ice cream + rich & decadent hot fudge sauce + chopped almonds = pure bliss. Seriously. You just can’t go wrong with vanilla and chocolate. I’m very much an emotional eater; I’ve always been one, although I’ve curved it a lot over the last several years (or attempted to). Some days though, despite…

Paleo Chocolate Chip Cookies
These 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 confirm…
