I am always looking for more creative ways to spice up my homemade granola, and finding something that tastes like a popular treat is always a bonus. I actually stumbled upon this accidentally, just mixing chocolate and peanut butter and making some tasty granola. It’s been awhile since I have had an Oreo, but this [...]
Pizza is my most favorite food ever, so when I gave up gluten AND grains, it became a real challenge to be able to enjoy my most favorite food. Sometimes I would break down and have a gluten-free (but not grain-free) crust, and while it tastes good, I still prefer to keep the grains out [...]
Around here, sweet potatoes are a staple. I eat them almost every day, and my husband and my son don’t mind them every once in awhile. My daughter, however, has not embraced the sweet potato in the same way. In fact, she insists she hates them. Whatever. More for me. White potatoes are one of [...]
Cereal comes from a box right? Not in my house. When we began cleaning up our diets we switched to organic and gluten-free cereals, but I had always vowed that I would one day make cereal from scratch, and if I could do it totally grain-free it would be a major achievement. It really seems [...]
A couple of years ago I started making my own taco seasoning from scratch because of the extra crap they seemed to put in pre-packaged taco seasonings. I got tired of not knowing exactly what I was eating and when I realized how easy it was to make it myself, it’s been a no-brainer to [...]
Every once in awhile, I kinda miss bread, and rather than wreck my gut by indulging in actual wheat filled bread, I’d rather try and come up with an alternative that helps me get through those days where I want some bread but without affecting my body in a negative way. I have been trying [...]

They are low glycemic index which means they don’t affect blood sugar the way their white potato cousins do. Plus, combined with [...]
I love goat cheese. I especially love it with veggies. So I made it into a dip. Check out my herbed goat cheese veggie dip recipe: Print Herbed Goat Cheese Veggie Dip IngredientsLog of goat cheese (approx 10 oz give or take) 1 tbsp olive oil 3 tbsp sour cream 1 tbsp chives 2 tsp [...]
Around here, grab-n-go foods are important. They provide us with options when we are out and about – because they feed our hunger and keep us from stopping for fast food. Grab-n-go foods are also important when we get up late and don’t want to skip breakfast, and (often more importantly), my kids like them. [...]
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Avocados from Mexico for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. I don’t like guacamole. I know, I know. Who doesn’t like guacamole? Apparently I’m one of the only few people who doesn’t. But I realize that avocados have a ton of nutritional benefits so [...]
