We used to have pizza night once a week. It was a nice break from having to cook and, of course, something everyone enjoyed, so, no whining from anyone about what's for dinner. After switching to a gluten-free diet, we were lucky to have many great pizza places around town that offered gluten free crust. None of us are celiac, so we didn't need … [Read more...]

Healthy Bok Choy Beef Taco Recipe
I've always wanted to get a CSA farm box full of fresh produce, but the pick up places were not very close by, so I have never gotten around to it.

It's hard to come up with meals every night of the week, so we always have Taco Tuesday and Pizza night on Fridays.

3 Ingredient Slow Cooker Chicken Recipe
Drastic measures had to be made! We had switched to a gluten-free diet and began to eat mostly organic whole foods, with no artificial colors or flavorings. A Paleo diet, but with dairy. Not letting go of cheese and milk yet, if I can help it. My sons tummy troubles were almost immediately better just by going gluten free! I didn't know at the … [Read more...]
