In order for all my tasks to stay straight in my head, they have to be written on paper. With check boxes. Because otherwise my mind will never ever shut off. I will literally lie awake at night going over all the things on my to-do list… So I have this. OCD? Yes. But oh so helpful too. For the birthday party, it kept me right on track, and guess what? The hour leading up to our guests’ arrival was completely stress free. I had nothing to do because I had already done everything!… Read more >

My little boy is no longer a baby. Happy first birthday patty-cakes. You are the biggest source of joy I have ever known. Obviously the boxes and wrapping were more exciting than the actual presents. We had a little party with our closest family and friends. It was pretty perfect. Pacman muffin. 🙂 I had the same breakfast 4 days this week thanks to these GF lemon streusel muffins by Udi’s. Sorry for the hyperbole, but they are SOOO good. I don’t usually go gaga for lemon things, but they actually aren’t mega… Read more >

Does granola necessarily mean oats? Or grains? I read that buckwheat is a fruit the other day. Hmmmm…I know it’s not related to wheat and I know it’s not a grass…eh, whatever [too lazy to google]. Ok so I made these bars and I’m not really sure if they count as granola or not, but if you feel like the ingredients list suits you, then go ahead and give them a shot. And then send me a new recipe name suggestion. 🙂 The recipe is allergy friendly, and has no nuts, eggs,… Read more >

More substantial than fruit and veggies, I need (quick) snack ideas that have both nutritional and caloric oomph. Preferably ones with protein and fat (since carbs are easy to come by in my experience). Balls for the win. These look so hideous it’s almost embarrassing to post. It’s not a wonky camera mode, they are really that green color. It’s because there’s green stuff in them. Frozen Green Chai Vanilla Bites [vegan, gluten free, soy free, dairy free, nut free] Ingredients: 1/2 cup unsweetened desiccated coconut 1/2 cup sunflower seeds 1 tbsp protein… Read more >

This past weekend’s mission was to test run a chocolate cake for P’s first birthday. Mission: accomplished. 🙂 Like, SO accomplished. I was beside myself with pride when it turned out. Now I can serve a cake for everyone to enjoy that will make my son feel normal!!! Hooray! It is chocolaty and rich and tastes indulgent, despite having no added sugar. It’s also free of grains. And nuts, seeds, soy, wheat, and dairy. And it actually tastes good. Scratch that. It tastes great. Grain free, allergy-friendly chocolate cake [wheat/gluten free, grain… Read more >
