Fun Finds Friday – Hot Chocolate Surprise – Dairy Free and Sugar Free

admin November 28, 2013 1 Comment
Are you a Black Friday shopper?  I am not.  Large, crazy crowds and I are not friends.  I do love a good hot chocolate though!  Being dairy free means making your own hot chocolate, not ripping open a package and adding hot water.  I’ve learned to be okay with that.  I found an interesting twist on hot chocolate for today’s Fun Finds Friday.   It has a secret ingredient.  I did not...

Life With Food Allergies – Part 1

admin November 26, 2013 0 Comments
Living with food allergies can be a hassle.  It can be daunting and time consuming.  It can be scary.  Living with food allergies is expensive. HOWEVER, living with food allergies can also be a blessing. First, why is life with food allergies all that and more?  Well, life with food allergies can be a hassle because we always have to “think” about our food.  We cannot just jump in the...

Oven Roasted Chicken Thighs

We love this simple entrée.  Chicken thighs spiced just so and roasted to perfection; it is pure comfort food.    I find that using fresh, never frozen chicken thighs works best simply because they roast so much faster.  Even after defrosting 24 hours, it always seems to take longer to reach internal temp of 180 F. when I use previously frozen thighs. These chicken thighs are never dry,...

Fun Finds Friday – GlutenFree And Vegan Bread

I have not made gluten free bread until a few months ago.  And I still do not very often.  But I did find this one loaf that is really good.  Welcome to Fun Finds Friday! Do you see the steam coming off the 'fresh from the oven' bread? Can't you just smell it? Like I said earlier, this is a good loaf of bread, but it is also a lot of work to put together. The recipe has a lot of ingredients...

I have to limit my grains and be sugar free for a while (more on that to come).  So that means I have been having acorn squash, sweet potatoes and pea protein shakes for breakfast.  I need some sort of bread, at least occasionally.  So I found this recipe for grain free biscuits.  These are perfect for breakfast if you make them the night before.  Topped with thawed frozen peaches this is...

It may be nearing October’s end, but I’m still grilling!  I don’t like grilling in the dark though, so as soon as the sun sets around 4:30 pm, I’ll have to quite grilling for a few months.  Bummer!  But until then, I’m still firing it up.  I have a gas grill.  It’s so easy to turn on, heats up quickly, and you do not have to worry about the flames going out.   So today’s...

Have you eaten a plethora of zucchini and summer squash?  We have and this is one side dish that doesn’t get old; at least not for us.   This is so simple I can barely call it a recipe.  It almost seems silly to put it on here.  But simple doesn’t mean tasteless.  No!  It is very tasty.   Do you eat zucchini and summer squash? Also shared at Gluten Free Friday .

Have you ever eaten at a Brazilian barbeque restaurant?  We went to one a few weeks back for our wedding anniversary.  Oh. My. Goodness.  Okay, if you are a vegan or vegetarian this is NOT the place for you.  But meat lovers...this is the place to go!  (By the way, I don’t consider myself a meat lover.  I eat meat, but it’s not my first food love).  However, we LOVED this place from...

Everyone in my house has had a round of antibiotics lately.  So in addition to our probiotics, I wanted to have a fun option for getting even more probiotics into us.  Enter….Fun Finds Friday---Yogurt Squares.   Actually I renamed these Yogurt Squares (they are originally called Probiotic Gelatin Treats).  I figured that would be more interesting to a kid.   Simply put…it’s yogurt plus...
