I actually created this recipe myself. And the kids LOVED it. And the best part, it has SPINACH in it (yep, that’s the green stuff!) I am so psyched!! I whipped this together in record time. And it came out perfect! It’s simple, basic, nutritional and a new family favorite! This fed my 5 kids [...]

We Got Our Just Desserts
Posted in gluten-free on June 7, 2009 | 1 Comment »
I got the most divine recipe for Cherry Crisp from Gluten Free Mommy. It was simple, fresh and delicious. My favorite part is that it’s NATURALLY gluten free, rather than using modified products. Ok, so it’s a lot of fat and sugar – it’s a DESSERT, not health food! But most desserts are full of [...]
Let’s Just Cut the Crap!
Posted in Brendan Fraser, gluten-free on June 3, 2009 | 1 Comment »
It’s 11:30 at night and instead of sleeping, I’m googling GFCF recipes. I realized tonite that none of Sean’s pants fit him anymore. He’s gotten a bit of a tummy. He’s a fairly active kid who doesn’t really eat a lot. But what he does eat… it’s terrible. I’ve become lazy and complacent. Our diet [...]
A little hump day quickie
Posted in Disneyland, gluten-free, vacation on May 27, 2009 | 2 Comments »
No, not that kind of quickie. Just a brief posting from the heart of Disneyland… well, ok about three blocks away. At the Travelodge. Sean’s in the shower and I’m on-hold with the Rainforest Cafe in Downtown Disney, waiting to talk to the chef. I’d love to take Sean there for lunch, a great ending [...]
Mother’s Day Eve
Posted in gluten-free on May 10, 2009 | 2 Comments »
While I was at work yesterday, the kids prepared the BEST Mother’s Day gift ever: they cleaned the whole house! Yep, even the floor around the toilet! A gift truly better than chocolates or jewelry. So we went out for dinner, a little Mother’s Day eve feast at Mary’s Pizza Shack. This is my new [...]

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 [...]
Complete in it’s total awesomeness
Posted in Disneyland, gluten-free, vacation on June 7, 2008 | 1 Comment »
Our trip to Disneyland proved to be MAGICAL in more than one way. The biggest and best involved, of course, food. I had been told by friends that Disney totally accomodates those with food allergies and sensitivities. But most of these items are off-menu and you just have to know who to ask, usually the [...]
Happiest vacation on Earth

I’m going to be MIA for a few days. My mom and I are taking Beastly and Bobo to Disney for a couple of days. We’ll also be droppin’ in on my bro and his fam, down in Temecula. I am in desperate need of a vaca, so this is almost more for me than [...]
The Dough Also Rises aka Adventures in GFCF baking
Posted in gluten-free, Yum! on May 16, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
So about a week ago, after once AGAIN finding Old Mother Trader Joe’s shelves barren of the one FREAKIN’ kind of GFCF bread they stock – I threw my hands up in the air, cursed repeatedly, was given the evil eye by the hemp-wearing vegans that worship… I mean, shop there and pledged never to [...]
