I am aware that my food picture taking sucks. My apologies. This dish tastes much better than the picture looks! My kids raved about it… well, except Tad, who said it tasted really good except for the beans. He doesn’t like beans. At all. Sean and Skye had second helpings! This is the first chili [...]

Posted in casein-free, gluten-free, peanut-free, Yum! on October 9, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
This recipe is a simple variation off a GFCF peanut butter cookie that I can’t take credit for creating. Just about everyone I know seems to make the peanut butter variety. My friend Elizabeth over at Small Town Blessings even posted it a few months ago HERE. The beauty of this recipe is the simplicity. [...]

If your kids are like my kids, they LOVE waffles. They could eat them every meal of every day and never ever get tired of ‘em. However, frozen gluten free waffles are freakin’ EXPENSIVE!! And the mixes aren’t any cheaper. Or better. It was time to come up with a waffle recipe that was as [...]
Potato and Onion Casserole

This is an excellent side dish. And my favorite kind of recipe – one that is naturally gluten and casein free. No substitutions or using special ingredients. Just basic basic basic!! Eventually, I would love for us to be eating like this all the time, just natural whole foods. It feels so good to feed [...]
GFCF Chicken Fingers

My kids are all-American kids with all-American appetites. And one thing they have really been missing is chicken fingers/strips/nuggets… what have you. Yes, they have pre-made frozen ones. But we really haven’t been too impressed with them. And our local grocery stores don’t carry the more edible ones. Sorry, but Ians Allergen Free Chicken Nuggets [...]
GFCF Lasagna

I’ve been meaning/wanting to come up with a lasagna recipe similar to the one I used to make in the old gluten and casein full days of yore. I called it Cheeseburger Lasagna, made it in the crockpot, and probably offended every Italian going back to ancient Rome. It consisted of ground beef, jar spaghetti [...]
GFCF Pumpkin Cookies

My friend, Elizabeth, posted a delicious Pumpkin Bread Cookie recipe and I was inspired to make a GFCF version. At first, I thought I’d just sub in GF all-purpose flour and some rice milk and some CF chocolate chips… and the next thing you know, it’s a totally different recipe!! I still credit her with [...]

This vacation has been so good for our family. We’ve had a chance to really relax and reconnect. I taught the kids how to play Pictionary, we’ve had ping-pong tournaments, gone for walks in the woods and skipped stones in the lake. I’ve gotten to sleep in, take naps and go to bed at a [...]
