Improving my love of life…. through loving God, self and others
I will admit that I kind of turned my nose up to the Hello Fresh's of the world, I cook all the time, I don't need anybody sending me deconstructed meals to prepare when I can buy it locally from the store, right? But then I read about Sun Basket, a California based company... Continue Reading →
We do eat gluten in our house, but a lot of my friends and my kid's friends do not, so I wanted to have a recipe for something we could all enjoy. I found gluten free rice pasta by a company called DeBole's at our store and honestly I cannot tell the difference. I only... Continue Reading →
Shauna Niequist is an author who I follow, and she has amazing recipes along with powerful insight. This past week she posted a picture of this soup (which I am using) without sharing the recipe and I couldn't get it out of my head, so I found one on New Your Times recipe site by Mark Bittman....

I wanted to take something deeply chocolate to a friend's house the other night, and he needs his food to be gluten-free, so it was a good excuse to finally make this cake. I saw it in Bon Appetit magazine a couple of years ago and tucked it away, I really like the idea of... Continue Reading →
My friend Ann had a huge kale salad sitting in her fridge and my daughter couldn't stop raving about it, so I asked for the recipe. I now make this all of the time because it is healthy and so easy to make, and gets better with time. Seriously, try not to love it! Massaged... Continue Reading →

This is a quick one to put together, start the sauce first because the 'pasta' takes five minutes! In the summer months I don't really even... Continue Reading →
There was a time when describing someone as 'crunchy' was not a positive thing, in my mind. Our daughter loves being considered crunchy, and some of her ideas have rubbed off on me. We have been using Almond Milk in our smoothies daily for more than two years now, finding the brand that we prefer,... Continue Reading →
Have you read the book, Bread and Wine by Shauna Niequist? It's one of my favorites, a book of wisdom mixed with Jesus and a recipe in each chapter! Her husband is gluten-free, so most of the recipes are, too, as is this risotto recipe. The most difficult thing about this is the need for... Continue Reading →
We are trying to eat a little leaner these days, and breakfast is the toughest meal of the day when there are so many bread and pastry temptations. Saturday morning I tried this out, and it was so simple and family approved! Combining the protein in eggs with the good fat in avocados, the fiber... Continue Reading →
I was craving exactly this recently; light and cool with plenty of flavor. I think we will be eating a lot of it over the summer. I found it at skinnytaste.com and made it just like the recipe suggested. 1 lb jumbo cooked shrimp, peeled and deveined, chopped 1 medium tomato, diced 1 hass avocado,... Continue Reading →
