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…
Review of the 2016 Gluten Free & Allergen Friendly Expo (GFAFE)
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…

Meal Planning Recipes #3
My goal in 2016 was to keep meal planning all year! I’m happy to say it’s almost March and I’m still going strong. See the original post here. Here are the meals for the past two weeks:
Meal Planning #1 – Getting better organized this year!
Happy New Year Everyone! Like just about everyone, one of my New Year’s Resolutions is to get better organized and to eat healthier. So this year I am vowing to do meal planning EVERY week. Last year I did it a few weeks and the weeks I did it made it SO much easier on…
How I do Thanksgiving for 40!
The past few years I have been hosting Thanksgiving dinner at my house. We have a large family so it ends up being around 30-40 over for dinner every year. Most would freak out about this but I LOVE it! Growing up we always had many family get-togethers and over the years they have grown…
Easy Italian Sausage and Pepper Pasta
So, as usual, I waited until the last minute to figure out what is going to be for dinner. Summer gets a little crazy around here and I have been SOOO BAD at meal planning. I see some freezer workshops in my near future! So I was looking around the kitchen at what I had…
Gluten Free & Allergen Friendly Expo 2015 – Bonus Win Passes!
Woohoo the 2015 Gluten Free & Allergen Friendly Expo is almost here! Last year was the second year that I attend this awesome event. It’s basically a candy land for someone like me. Just about every booth there had “Jen Safe” food. I enjoyed so many yummy items and I can’t wait to go again! It also grew by…
Cancer the illness we are all facing
The statics are growing each day, cancer is getting more and more popular. I myself am expecting to be diagnosed with it in the upcoming years. My father died from it, my grandmother died from it, my aunt has fought breast cancer, so pretty much everyone on my dad’s side of the family has had it.…
Peach Mojito with Rosatello Moscato Wine
I have been a member of House Party for a few years now and I love it! It’s kinda of a ‘club’ where you get to try out different products and gives you an excuse to have a party. Last month I got chosen to try out Rosatello Wine. Well of course they had me…
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…
You are not going to believe what it in your Taco Seasoning!
Be sure to enter the giveaway at the bottom of this post! A few years back I was diagnosed with many many food allergies. It was a complete shock to me since I had never been allergic to anything in my first 35 years of life. So now I had this new chore of finding food…
