Smoothie 101 was just a very basic frozen fruit and water anything goes smoothie. No recipe, no specific amounts, whatever fruit suits your fancy. The only rule – use a banana for emulsification or else it’s just fruit juice, baby. I received a few comments from people who were surprised. They had never considered a [...]

The Infamous Green Smoothie
Posted in casein-free, dairy free, gluten-free, health, raw foodism, Yum! on March 22, 2011 | 1 Comment »
“He’s not just famous, he’s IN famous!” – Ned Nederlander (Martin Short) The Three Amigos As promised, here is the recipe for the Green Smoothie I made tonite. First, you will notice that is not, in fact, green! How observant of you. The Green has nothing to do with the color. It’s because there are [...]
Spaghetti Tacos – with a GFCF version
Posted in casein-free, dairy free, gluten-free, Yum! on March 19, 2011 | 2 Comments »
My kids love iCarly, even my teenage boys. Ok, I watch it too. It’s a very cute, quirky, funny show. Who woulda thought it’d be full of great recipes too! Sean and Skye had been begging for Spaghetti Tacos ever since the episode aired. I actually made them last year. And they were a HUGE [...]
Smoothie 101
Posted in casein-free, dairy free, gluten-free, health, peanut-free, raw foodism, Yum! on March 11, 2011 | 3 Comments »
I’m now starting every day with a super healthy smoothie. Sean and Skye LOVE them, so they each have a small one too. These are perfect for just about anyone. They are nut free, gluten free, casein/dairy free, pretty much everything free! Unless you’re allergic to berries or bananas, in which case you’re totally screwed! [...]
Easiest pasta dish ever
Posted in casein-free, gluten-free, peanut-free, Yum! on July 22, 2010 | 3 Comments »
I don’t have step by step pictures because my kids made this while I was working out on the elliptical. Yes, it is THAT easy! Also, I have trained my kids well. Except for picking up after themselves and doing their chores without multiple reminders. Still working on that part. But the cooking thing, totally [...]
GFCF "Oreos" – Product Review
Posted in casein-free, dairy free, gluten-free, product review on December 11, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
*No one is paying me for this. I am not receiving re-imbursement of any kind. This is strictly my humble opinion. Of course, Mi-del is welcome to send me a truckload of cookies and/or coupons! I certainly wouldn’t be turning ‘em down, either!! I was shopping in our brand new grocery store Paradise Foods, checking [...]
Thanksgiving Menu – GFCF style!
Posted in casein-free, gluten-free on November 26, 2009 | 1 Comment »
I’ve been “meaning” to get back on here, post our Turkey Day menu with links to all the special recipes… and by meaning, I mean procrastinating. Ah, the pathway to hell, I’ve paved it so well (such a nice little rhyme, I should needlepoint a pillow… but I’d never get around to it… and so [...]

GFCF Chocolate Cupcakes with Chocolate Buttercream Frosting
Posted in casein-free, gluten-free, peanut-free, Yum! on October 13, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
This is part recipe and part product review. Eventually, I want to develop my own cake and frosting recipes cause while these are serviceable, they’re just not really fantastic. And that is what I’m striving for. Cupcakes worth raving about. But until there, these are really great, especially for kids. Perfect for a birthday party [...]
GFCF Pork and Apple Stew
Posted in casein-free, gluten-free on October 12, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Ah, stew. That perennial of autumn favorites. My kids are not particularly fond of beef stew and so I’ve been searching for an alternative. Pork chop (thick cut, no bone) were on sale last week, so I bought a large package. The kids were less than impressed with my apple juice infused pork chops and [...]
