Staples in a GF Kitchen

As my mother was recently reminded that she is Gluten-intolerant (and she has been ignoring it a bit), I recently got a chance to show her my kitchen staples and some “Do’s and Dont’s” of a gluten-intolerant kitchen. This was actually fun, because it reminded me how vigilant we need to be about what is [...]

A Servants Heart

I receive inspirational emails frequently from several services and this one in particular touched me.

“The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.”
- Mahatma Gandhi

“Those who want to make a good impression outwardly are trying to compel you to be circumcised. The only reason they do this is to [...]

Evolving

Personally, I am going to continue posting any GF/soy-free recipes on here but the focus of this blog is going to change. I will be posting personal thoughts and other random things as well.

As an intriguing tease for you, I have lost 26 pounds so far eating about 70-80% raw and I feel terrific. You [...]

coconut oil

I wanted to take this opportunity to share with you all a newsletter I receive from BLI (Better Life Institute). On staff there is Dr. Chet, who creates these wonderful email newsletters filled with FACTS and medical studies and all sorts of powerful information. Particularly, my favorites would be the recent series he has been [...]

Copyright is STILL in effect here

It came to my attention recently – thanks to Karina, my favorite GF goddess – that there is at least one blogger out there who is posting other blog recipes without attributing credit properly. Even worse, this blogger makes these recipes seem like their own – even pasting verbiage and pictures directly from other foodie [...]

I Miss My blog!

I have been a bit absent lately as my hubby and I embark on a new journey in our lives….. Raw food. Sounds weird, right? Having said that, I miss the process of cooking. REALLY miss it.

Cooking is so creative. It brings me such joy to bring a dish to fruition from my imagination [...]

Today is DAY ONE

Check out the side-blogs my hubby and I started for our new RAW diet. I will still occasionally post here if recipes coincide with being GF, but for a while you will notice a bit less activity.

We’ve Gone RAW

Yes, that’s right. RAW. Hubby and I have been doing research and preparing for a new LIFESTYLE change. Courtesy of the lovely Raw Divas we are starting a 7-day Raw Detox this weekend, and then we will transition into a raw food lifestyle.

The only thing we are unsure about it whether we’ll be one [...]

Mint or Spearmint

Mint is an often under-utilized herb, in my opinion. I say that because I am growing a pot (quite successfully) on my patio and I am up to my ears in the stuff.

A search of mint on epicurious.com, allrecipes.com, and foodnetwork.com reveal an array of garnish, mixed alcoholic drinks, ice cream, cold soups (yuck), dessert [...]

My Sweet Tooth, Me Not Bake and Other News

I LOVE sweets. Seriously. It is a problem. My husband (who is the diabetic without a sweet tooth) says I have what he calls a sugar-addiction that will become a health problem later in life. He might be right. So in my own way I have been exploring healthier alternatives to satisfy a sweet tooth. [...]
