gluten free snack ideas for kids

My son has eaten gluten-free his whole life.  He was diagnosed with a gluten allergy at about 15 months, when contact with flour-water turned his whole body into a huge hivy-rash.  A couple of months ago, his allergist doctor confirmed that he is no longer allergic to gluten.  We are so, so thankful that he has…

Making your own vanilla extract is easy and delicious

{This post may contain affiliate links, please see my disclosure policy.}  I have been using my own vanilla extract for a while now — and it is amazing! Vanilla extract needs to sit for at least two months — though six months is best — and the store-bought kind often is only soaked for a couple…

sleep / eat / move / be healthy for you

Five weeks ago, I had a revelation when I weighed myself at my mother-in-law’s house for the first time in months. I am very over my healthy, normal weight. It was good to know. I don’t have a scale at home — but when I go back to her house, I will get back on…

liver is good for you {but I hate the taste!}

{This post may contain affiliate links, please see my disclosure policy.} Liver tastes gross.  I think this mostly because I didn’t taste it until I was about 25 years old.  By then, my taste buds had pretty much matured. Organ meats, like liver, have more B vitamins, fatty acids EPA and DHA, amino acids, and…

This is the best quiche of your life.

I love quiche.  I am a “I like eggs with a lot of extras” type of girl.  I don’t like over easy or even plain scrambled.  But I love eggs if there is a lot of cheese and a nice vegetable involved.  I make frittatas and quiches quite a bit, thanks to my “I’ll have…

wordless wednesday: learning shapes with quesadillas

Just let the kid eat butter!

I just read an awesome post from Nourishing Our Children about cravings and food and … nutrition! It explained that if your child is begging for the butter or that salt at the table, just let them eat it.  Butter, for example, provides wonderfully good saturated fats that your child’s brain needs to develop.  And…

Making your own chicken stock is easy

Lately, I have been cooking a whole bird.  The cost of a whole, organic bird is only $1.99 per pound!  (Compared with sometimes $7.99 per pound for organic chicken breasts!)  I discovered that cooking a whole bird is not as intimidating as it seems. (1) I cook it at 400 degrees, 30 minutes up, 30…
