I recently decided it was time to bust out some skills I learned in 7th grade Home Economics…homemade whipped cream! The only reason I remember making this one is because I giggled incessantly every time my teacher said “stiff peaks.” Give me a break…I was 12. And maybe I still giggle. Anyway, whipped cream from […]

When it comes to recipes for holidays or large family gatherings, I always want to go all out and do something crazy and new that will impress everyone. More often than not, I end up with a dud recipe because I was too busy to fully concentrate on this new dish, or because I thought […]

Thanksgiving is in less than a week, and if you’re anything like me you just realized that a couple days ago and are now panicking a little bit. Dietary restrictions during the holiday primarily focused on eating can be a bit of a challenge, so I hope some of my recipes can help make sure […]

I drive home for my lunch hour every day for two reasons. 1. Most importantly, I go home to let my dogs outside and give the younger, and still crate-confined, pup a chance to run around before going back into the crate for the afternoon. Here they are after our exciting trip to the dog […]

If you’ve been gluten-free for any length of time, you’ve at least heard of Udi’s Gluten Free, if not eaten their food. Recently, Udi’s sent me a box of goodies to try, review, and create recipes for. It was Celiac Christmas!! I tried the Everything Inside Bagels topped with avocado, which were amazing. And I […]

Chilly Sundays to me always mean wake up a bit late, stay in pajamas all day, lounge with the dogs, watch football (DA Bears), and most importantly, make a delicious comforting breakfast.

Now that we have a yard and a gas grill, every time the sun is out I have a compulsion to GRILL EVERYTHING! So, it’s a beautiful summer day, I had some tofu in the fridge and a bag of fresh snow peas from my friend Tricia’s garden, and came up with this dinner idea! […]

Back in my gluten-eating days, I had a minor major pasta addiction. I’ve found a great brand of gluten-free pasta that is actually equivalent to regular pasta, if you can believe it (product review to come!), and I use that all the time! But I’ve always wanted to try making my own pasta, and decided […]

Knowing how to make a good tofu scramble off the top of your head is basically a vegetarian necessity, and it is soooo easy. Once you have a basic recipe, like this one, you can add and change ingredients to fit whatever you’re craving! So once you master the basic recipe, get creative! Ingredients 1 […]

Time for a gluten-free product review, woop woop! Before I was diagnosed with Celiac, I used breadcrumbs all the time…on baked dishes, in veggie burgers, and for crispy baked tofu. The first few brands I tried were…questionable at best. But FINALLY, 2 years later, I’ve found one that is actually comparable (no, really) to it’s […]
