Can you believe the progress that’s been made for gluten-free baked goods everywhere? And all the gluten-free eaters just said AMEN! As someone who struggled with chronic health issues for years before being diagnosed with Celiac disease, it’s been such a delight to discover local gluten-free bake shops as well as mail-order gluten-free bakeries that…
While I grew up with Easter bunny baskets and egg hunts, there were also the new dresses and white sandals and the sunrise church service, all before 8 a.m. From there, we’d take part in a continental breakfast followed by another church service and a large family gathering for Easter lunch – all in one…
I love meatballs. They are the best kind of burger if you ask me. Pssst, ask me! 🙋🏻♀️ While I haven’t met a meatball I didn’t want to try, this recipe is the one I make the most. My version here started with Greek salad-inspired ingredients, but the options are abundant. What you won’t want…
It hasn’t always been this easy to keep my pantry stocked with delicious food my family loves. As someone with a gluten allergy, I’m always reading labels and multi-sourcing where I can shop for gluten-free groceries. Besides looking for Celiac safe labels and assurances, I also care about unnecessary fillers, added sugars, organic when possible,…
Perhaps you saw me numbering things on my Instagram story last week. Well, that’s just us making and eating a Thanksgiving dinner one day at a time over here. Wait, why don’t we do this every November? S-p-r-e-a-d out this massive meal and enjoy the parts? Since I wasn’t hosting this November holiday and had…
There’s a story Minnesotans re-create every fall. It goes like this. Put on your favorite flannel shirt, grab your jacket (ok, your gloves and hats too, because it’s MN), maybe your garden boots and warm socks, a hot drink, and drive outside the city to your favorite apple orchard with your chosen people. Perhaps you…
These gluten-free salmon cakes with lots of herbs and delicious yogurt dill sauce are one of my family’s favorite ways to eat salmon. Put it in a bun with extra pickles or on a side of this yummy kale and cabbage slaw.
This family-favorite scone was initially born out of a suitcase of freshly pickled lemons hauled back from California. Hold on, Minnesotans. Can you even imagine having a lemon tree in your backyard? Cue some tears, me neither, but it sure sounds dreamy. Seems fitting that nine years later, I’d revamp this recipe for gluten-free blueberry…
Homemade dog biscuits. Well, that’s a first. As it turns out, these gluten-free peanut butter dog treats aren’t the only firsts. Welcome to the first blog post of 2022? Wait, what? Make that the first blog post since 2020?? I still find myself asking what happened to the years 2020 and 2021, but if you…
There’s nothing like a peach in its peak season! They are my favorite fruit and probably my all-time favorite summer food. Let me pause and make sure this is true. Yep, total truth. I wait all year for August peaches. You too? Over the month, we eat peaches in every possible way. Regardless of the…
