One more bon bon recipe! I’m a fan a berry flavored ice cream when it’s paired with chocolate, but many of you on Facebook clearly told me you weren’t, so I wanted to make sure you weren’t left out of the bon bon party. 😉 These Chocolate Covered Vanilla Ice Cream Bon Bons are begging…

Chocolate Covered Raspberry Ice Cream Bon Bons
My husband and I share an inside joke that all I do at home (since I’m a stay at home mom) is paint my nails and eat bon bons. Again, it’s a joke, but I really do like to paint my nails (I have a love affair with nail polish), in addition to all of…

Your whole family won’t believe this creamy Dairy Free Macaroni and Cheese contains no dairy! It will satisfy the pickiest of eaters! When I gave up dairy it was very difficult for me to also give up my macaroni and cheese. Well… okay, honestly it was hard to give up cow’s milk dairy cheese in…

Berry Spinach Detox Salad with Poppy Seed Dressing
Weather: overcast & cloudy, 17 degrees (F) Not food related, but are you a fan of Despicable Me? Or are your kids? Some good family friends recently bought our girls Despicable Me 2 Monopoly. What a HOOT that game is! I highly recommend it for kids; it’s much easier to play and learn than the…
Ground Beef Jerky
Although definitely cheaper than store bought, making your own homemade beef jerky can still be costly. It all depends on the type and cut of meat used. London broil is one of my favorite meats to make jerky with, but it costs roughly $10-12 a pound (here in Alaska, anyways), so using it on a…

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…
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
I live in Alaska and eat fresh salmon from my freezer regularly, but do you think I have a salmon recipe posted on my website? Nope, not a single one. You see, I’ve had salmon prepared just about every way imaginable. Like most Alaskan kids, I’ve been eating it my entire life. My family has…
