The struggle between winter and spring. I hope spring wins out very soon and the warmth and daffodils start to appear. This month’s menu was created mostly from what I already have on hand. After inventorying my freezer, refrigerator and pantry I had a list of cooked and uncooked ingredients in which to start my [...]

Mexican Vegetable Frittata -Gluten & Casein Free
I love the one pot/pan meals, it makes clean up fast and easy. I also love frittatas because you can add in whatever you have on hand. Keep this in mind as you create your frittata from this recipe. If I use an ingredient that you don’t have or don’t like, change it up with [...]
What’s New on my CSA Farm
Well it’s not even spring yet but the farm is hard at work. I have started receiving updates from Potomac Vegetable Farms on the progress of my summer foods. I find this very cool. I’ve had my own little garden with herbs and peppers but I really do not have a clue what it takes [...]

Great Mental Joys of Gluten
Where is the closest couch so I can collapse? Why are you so close to me? I really don’t want to have a conversation. Did I really just tell you that same thing an hour ago? These are just part of my life after accidently ingesting gluten. There are more less glamorous intestinal joys too. [...]

Gluten Free Pork Noodle Soup for Pennies
One of my favorite things to do is take leftovers from meals during the week and make a soup on the weekend. This week when I cooked those delicious Jerk Pork Ribs and Chicken it created a wonderful stock in the pot. I strained it and poured it into a leftover pasta sauce glass jar [...]
Get Out of the Box of Processed Foods
I don’t know about you but I’m getting tired of all the food recalls of products containing those tainted peanuts. There is such a long list that I no longer can keep up with it. How many processed foods out there have peanuts in them? I’m thankful that our family does not have a peanut [...]
Seafood Stir-fry On A Budget?
As we sat down to dinner last night my husband pointed out this was an expensive dinner. He didn’t know my secret. Yes there were scallops, shrimp and lobster but I had not spent a fortune on them and the lobster had been in the freezer for months just waiting for the perfect recipe. The [...]
Stainless-steel Food Containers
I found a photo of an avocado in an oval stainless-steel container in The Washington Post food section today. My first thought was that’s cute. Then I realized it was not plastic and squealed cool. Good thing I was alone eating lunch. This container is compact and great to carry your lunch. I want to [...]
Jerk Chicken and Pork
You know the great thing about writing down your plans, they get changed. This is the fun of living in the moment. So instead of my seafood stir-fry yesterday I decided to drive myself insane. While Scott was out delivering our company’s Next Level Leadership™ Group Coaching program (shameless plug) I was working in my [...]
A Year of Crockpotting on Good Morning America
This is a shout out to a rock star amongst us. Stephanie, The Crockpot Lady, is going to be on national TV again! In case you missed it she was already on the Rachael Ray Show last summer. Stephanie writes the really great A Year of Crockpotting blog. In 2008 she used her crockpot every [...]
My First Organic Farm Share – CSA
I finally registered for my first farm share, CSA, before they were all sold out! I’m very excited. There are many great farms out there that sell shares and the one closest to me is Potomac Vegetable Farm in Vienna Virginia. I purchased a regular share this year. They have the option of a mini [...]
