Here are some updates on how it’s going feeding a toddler with allergies (since I know several mamas like these posts) and he seems to be thriving. I snuck beans into my child’s diet and they weren’t even baked or blended into something making them unrecognizable. Nope. I simply changed the texture by roasting them and voila! The kid eats beans. For now. 😛 (there are a few ways to roast them but I did 450 degrees F x 25 minutes just tossed in a little olive oil) Like I mentioned in a previous… Read more >

I know (I think?) what you’re thinking. Yellow cake? What’s the point? Chocolate is where it’s AT! I agree with you, but every once in a while you need some quality yellow cake in your life. Like on the 4th of July. Because it just feels right. Is #merica just so 2013? Since I wanted P to be able to eat some, I made it allergen friendly. As in, no wheat, gluten, dairy, nuts, or soy. The batter does contain eggs and I’m not sure if it would turn out without them but if anyone wants… Read more >

Ignore the chocolate chips in the photo below, because that’s an [optional] fifth ingredient. Oh my gosh was this ever good. And easy! So so easy! None of the boiling milk and dissolving sugar nonsense. <–Lazy girl, no shame. I got an ice cream maker for my birthday (in October) but it wasn’t really put to use very much over the colder months of winter. Now, though. Now, is ice cream season. And I am alllll about the coconut milk versions. I’m pretty much be doing different mixes of this basic guideline from now until… 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 >

Here are some products I’ve tried lately (or over the last few months…). Some were bad, some were okay, some were good, and some were awesome. So I figured I’d share. I have no affiliation with any of these brands. These are simply my honest opinions. 1. Nama-Age deep fried tofu. I thought deep fried anything would be good, but this didn’t have any flavor. Bland. Lame. I wouldn’t buy again. 2. Puro Coffee. It’s organic and fairtrade and I have liked all the blends I’ve tried (and I’m picky about my java!). I think… Read more >
