I am in love with kale chips. Well, kale in any form really. I love kale in smoothies, in scrambled eggs, on grain-free flatbread pizza, and simply sautéed in coconut oil and sprinkled liberally with Real Salt. I love the texture, the slight bitterness and I mean, if we’re being honest here, doesn’t eating kale make you feel righteous or something? A year or so ago one of my favorite stores starting carrying nacho kale chips in bags. I walked {Read More}
Folks, if you’re looking for a sweet treat for your kiddos that isn’t full of cancer-causing dyes or other frightening ingredients, look no further. These gummies are sure to be a crowd pleaser. They’re super simple to make, but still have a super fun shape and bright color kids love. With only a few ingredients and a candy mold, you can literally whip these up in under 5 minutes (plus a few minutes in the freezer to harden). What’s {Read More}

My husband and one of my sons are obsessed with tomatoes. They eat them like apples out of one hand with a Real Salt shaker in the other hand. I too love vegetables. Squash, sugar snap peas, crispy cucumbers. Yum! But…I don’t love salads. (*gasp*) I adore dark leafy greens like spinach and kale, but I almost always eat them sautéed (in coconut oil with eggs and hot sauce- oh my!). My lack of enthusiasm over salads boils down to {Read More}

It’s been a loooooong time since any of my kids have eaten chicken tenders. It’s virtually impossible to find pre-made chicken tenders that have normal ingredients I’d actually feed my kids, let alone a gluten-free version. It’s been so long, in fact, that I had completely forgotten chicken tenders are a thing. That is, until a few days ago when my 3 year-old saw a classmate eating some at school and came home and asked for some. He meant it {Read More}
Check out this article I wrote earlier this week for Modern Alternative Kitchen. What do you think?
I bet you’ve heard that dark chocolate is good for you. Do you know why? All chocolate is made from cacao (pronounced kuh-COW), the edible part of a cocoa bean. The cacao is removed, fermented and processed into a liquid called cocoa liquor. Cocoa liquor is then combined with other ingredients such as sugar, milk solids and cocoa butter to achieve solid chocolate. To create cocoa powder, cocoa liquor is pressed to squeeze some of the cocoa butter out of {Read More}
What they say is true, you know. That necessity is the mother of all invention. And that desperate times call for desperate measures. That’s how this pizza crust came to be. A few nights ago, when all my children had gone to bed, and I was picking up after the day I realized I needed to come up with something for their lunches the next day. We were low on their favorite lunch staples, and even if I {Read More}
A friend of mine just found out she has multiple food allergies. She’s allergic to dairy, wheat, and eggs. Uh, that pretty much excludes cookies from her life. Wait, scratch that. There are tons of recipes available online for any food allergy or restriction you can think of. Really! If you’re going to have an allergy, this is the time to have one. It is much, much easier to than it has been in the past. However, if you’re new {Read More}
