The Mystery of The Lost Recipe – AIP White Chicken Lasagna

June 4, 2016

We are a book loving family. My kids could entertain themselves all day long in an empty room with a stack full of books. I was so excited when I found this book by Healthy Kids Publishing. The Mystery of The Lost Recipe is a cute story about a town restaurant that has lost it’s special Lasagna recipe. Some local kids take it upon themselves to investigate and locate the recipe for the owner. This fun story encourages healthy eating, as well as exercise. There is nothing better than finding a good book that reinforces exactly what I am teaching my little ones.

Paleo and AIP Chocolate Mini Donuts

May 18, 2016

When my husband had to work out of town over the weekend, the girls and I were feeling a little blue. And nothing cures our blues better than getting in the kitchen and creating together. When we create with chocolate, it’s bright smiles and giggles all day….

Lyla’s Fourth Birthday Monster Mash!

My little Lyla is four years old! I can hardly believe it. She has grown into such a bundle of fun and personality. And she certainly knows what she likes. This year, she had her heart set on a Monster’s Inc birthday party. So I put together a Monster Mash I knew she would love!…

With my daughter’s Monster Mash coming up just around the corner (not to mention halloween) I wanted to create a fun and tasty appetizer to serve our little guests. So I have teamed up with Flatout and Dollop to bring you not one, but two fantastic cheeseball recipes suitable for any party! Both of them are perfectly paired with crispy flatbread chips. My Peanut Butter Crunch Monster Cheeseball is great for the kids. But I couldn’t leave out the adults!…

Gluten Free S’mores Trail Mix

October 19, 2015

This recipe is part two of my Indoor S’mores series! Actually, you could hardly call this a recipe. Aside from making the Graham Crackers, this one is pretty much a no-brainer. Just toss them in a bowl with some mini marshmallows and chopped up Hershey’s and call it a day. This is by far the easiest way to get all the flavor of a s’more without the sticky gooey mess. Perfect for the kids. In fact, just hand over the ingredients and let them mix this one up themselves. Easy as 123.

October 16, 2015

After successful completion of my Gluten Free and Paleo Graham Crackers, I was finally able to go s’more crazy! While I firmly believe there is no time better spent than a cool fall evening around the fire with your family roasting marshmallows, sometimes you just need a s’more in a jiffy. I’ve put together a 4-part series of fun treats that bring the s’mores indoors. …

Gluten Free Graham Cracker Cookie Bites

October 14, 2015

It’s finally s’more season! Around these parts, cool weather is highly anticipated. Nothing is better about country living than spending the evening out in the yard gathered around a bonfire. We sit, relax, tell stories, play games, and roast marshmallows. And of course, you can not fully appreciate a roasted marshmallow until you’ve nestled it between two graham crackers and a Hershey bar. Pure bliss.

Gluten Free Chocolate Graham Cracker Cookies

September 24, 2015

My daughter and I are currently on week number 3 of homeschool on the homestead! It has been quite an adventure, and we are loving every second. I do plan on sharing all of our learning activities here on the blog, I just haven’t gotten an extra second since we started. I have been going non-stop! Lyla is absorbing like a little sponge, and so eager to learn every day. She bounces right out of bed and asks “what am I learning?!”. Today, my answer was “bones”….
