How I am treating eosinophilic esophagitis naturally
What is EoE you may ask, well the official name is Eosinophilic esophagitis, and don’t ask me to pronounce it because I can’t (Read more about what is Eosinophilic esophagitis here). I usually have my sister say it for me 🙂 and let me just say it sucks! It’s confusing and interferes with life at…

Homemade Peanut Butter Cups | Gluten Free, Dairy Free
Who doesn’t love Reece’s Peanut Butter Cups? But well are Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups gluten-free? That is a good question, after a search on the interwebs I have seen a few yes’s and a few no’s. On Reese’s website, it says see package. The few packages I have seen do say they are, but they…
Easy Gluten Free Vanilla Extract Recipe
So if you are like me it’s hard to find good vanilla that is gluten-free or one that at least says that on the label. Plus many of the store-bought ones have caramel coloring, added sugars, and preservatives, yuck! I was purchasing the crapy stuff until I found out how easy it is to make…

Chocolate Mint Smoothie
One of things I miss the most since going dairy free is chocolate malt shakes. I think part is because I remember making them as a kid with my dad. They were always a special weekend treat. So I have adapted that same great chocolate mint taste but in a healthy treat. Perfect for an afternoon…
Pressure Cooking Eggs with Instant Pot
Getting back to scheduling and eating right! So yes, I have been MIA this summer, busy schedules and overly full workload have kept me away. But blogging isn’t the only thing I have been away from. I’ve also been away from meal planning and eating right and my body is very much so reminding me of…

Yesterday during an unusually very cold May Saturday I ventured up to the Gluten-Free & Allergen Friendly Expo. This was the 4th time attending and I’m always amazed at how many products there are. My daughter came along with me so it was a great mom/daughter day. One of my most favorite things about the…

Easy and Quick Breakfast solution – Potato Towers
I came up with this creation one Sunday morning. It was one of those mornings where I looked around and we were out of our usual breakfast items. We do have a grocery store just a half-mile from us so I could have easily gone and retrieve a few things but it was a freaking…
My trip to Vegas on a budget and gluten free!
For a few years now my girlfriend and I have been trying to plan a trip to Vegas to see the Britney Spears show (yes listening to Britney is one of my guilty pleasures). We are both on a tight budget so it had to be on the cheap. I was stalking Southwest and finally…
