Gluten Free Dairy Free Recipes

Sometimes you just need some ribs. Okay, maybe you don’t, but they sure do taste good and are really easy to make and I like easy. Sprinkle some spice on them and walk away. What is easier than that? My big kids feel big when they eat them too because we don’t cut the meat [...]

I recently went vegan for 3 weeks. I did it because I saw a couple of movies (one of them very popular) about the diet and thought it was worth a shot…just to see. I was expecting to feel amazing. Turns out, I already do. The diet did force me to get creative in the [...]

My plan was to make chicken like the buffalo barbacoa that my family loves. With just a couple of tweaks, this chicken turned out perfect. Just ask my family. My kids said this shredded chicken recipe was the best chicken EVER!! We all loved it, so I believe them.  I served it on a bed [...]

We have family come from out of town a few times a year and I now know what I will be serving them when they come. This was also a great way to get my picky breakfast eater to get some protein and veggies in with her most important meal of the day. They turned [...]

Whenever I cook anything with tomatoes, the kids smell it and automatically think we are having pizza and get excited. Lucky for me they aren’t disappointed when they find out that isn’t what we’re having, because lasagna is almost as good and tastes a lot like it. There weren’t any leftovers in our small family [...]

Growing up, my sisters and I had to take turns making dinner.  They usually made fun of me, because every third day (yes, there were three of us) we would sit down to eat taco salads.  Why?  Because they’re great!

Sometimes the best recipes are the ones you come up with on the fly. Like this one. I had shrimp thawed out but had NO idea what I was going to do with it and dinner really should be on the table in about 30 minutes. What’s a mom to do? After trying this I [...]

My kids LOVE kale. They do. I love seeing them announce their love at random places (like Vitamix demonstrations) and have the entire audience stop and stare. It is too bad, really, that they are “odd” because they love their veggies, but I will take abnormal in this department any day. That being said, I [...]

Do you ever serve your kids leftover dessert for breakfast? I don’t and shame on you if you do! (Just kidding!) We eat A LOT of oatmeal for breakfast and, quite frankly, it can get boring. This was a nice change! It tastes like dessert for breakfast, and I wouldn’t say no to that. Slice [...]

I loved tater tot casserole as a kid, so I was very excited to introduce this to my kiddos.  When they saw me making it they asked what those things were on top.  I believe my son’s exact words were “What is that? Cauliflower?” What a great idea!!!  So my kids may not know what [...]
