Let me start by saying, cinnamon rolls just might be one of the greatest baked goods ever invented. Warm, soft yeast dough, intwined with cinnamon and sugar. A gooey, pull-apart center and covered with a simple vanilla glaze. Seriously the work of a genius. I wish I came up with such a beautiful creation! I have made cinnamon rolls many times, especially before our adventures in gluten free. They are a family favorite and always make an appearance in our house on ... read more
guest post…dairy free marshmallow pops
St. Patrick's Day is coming up this week so it's time to get creative and...think green! Today I'm sharing an easy and fun recipe for dairy free marshmallow pops over at Ask Anna. Aren't they so cute? I'm diggin' marshmallow pops right now because they couldn't be easier to make. Dipped in a dairy free frosting (tinted any color you like), then festive sprinkles. They are so versatile and can be made for any occasion. A simple treat that your kids will love to ... read more
gfreely review and giveaway
I LOVE getting packages in the mail! Have I told you that? No matter what, it sure does make my day a bit brighter. It could be a simple gift card, new makeup, or a pair of Toms. It's even better if it's a box filled with gluten free goodies! I recently received a complimentary box from Gfreely. There were so many new products to try out...I couldn't wait to dig in! Gfreely is a company that delivers a monthly box, right to your house. It's filled with ... read more

Today calls for a celebration. You know why? It’s my 100th POST!!! I can't even believe it. Crazy! I started this blog over 9 months ago and it has been such a joy.

vegan coconut rice pudding
One dessert that I am secretly in love with...pudding. Chocolate, vanilla, tapioca, banana. I just love how it is such a simple, comforting dessert. Now I'm not talking about the boxed powder stuff that you mix with milk and it magically gets thick. No, no, no. I'm talking about homemade, from scratch pudding. It's made with only a few ingredients so there is no reason you can't make it yourself. It may not be instant, but it's so worth the time it takes to make! The other night I got ... read more
gluten free carrot zucchini cake
How is it already March? Seriously. February was such a busy month for us. We had family in town for a week, Kevin and I went to the GFAF Expo, we celebrated the day of love and I feel like there was something else....oh yeah, I turned 31. This birthday was not as eventful as turning 30. I don't really feel much older, but I must say it is still weird to be in my "thirties." Not a bad thing, just weird. With each year that goes by, I just seem to feel ... read more
guest post…gluten free vegan lemon ginger sandwich cookies
Anyone else love lemon desserts as much as I do? One of the most fragrant fruits that gives your homemade treats such a BURST of flavor! Over at Ask Anna, I'm sharing my recipe for Gluten Free Vegan Lemon Ginger Sandwich Cookies. Soft and chewy cookies, with the tartness of fresh lemon zest and the spiciness of candied ginger. A beautiful pair indeed. I took these cookies a step further and added a creamy lemon filling. With Spring quickly approaching, it's the ... read more
dairy free mint chocolate chip ice cream
I feel like I've been holding out on you guys. I made this recipe last month and I'm finally sharing it with all of you. So sorry! I bought my husband an ice cream maker for Christmas (or was it for me?) and have been experimenting with flavors. It was my first time making my own dairy free ice cream, using coconut milk. Lots of choices, but I knew in my mind there was only one type of ice cream this girl couldn't wait to try. Mint chocolate chip is my favorite ... read more
dairy free mocha breakfast smoothie
My weekday mornings are pretty consistent. I get Kyri up so she can start getting ready for school. She is able to do most things on her own (get dressed, eat breakfast, brush her teeth), but I just have to be her motivator. Kaden just wants his cup of warm, organic rice milk when he wakes up and he's good. This mama, however, needs a morning pick-me-up to get her ready for the day. Sometimes a cup of coffee just won't do. I need something with substance. I came up with the idea of ... read more
GFAF Expo San Francisco 2013!
Where to begin...such a FABULOUS weekend! Kevin and I recently got back from the Gluten and Allergen Free Expo in San Francisco. It was our first time attending a gluten expo and it by far exceeded our expectations! One of the funnest weekends for Kevin and I! As in, I wish we could go again, right now. It is seriously a must for anyone with celiac's or gluten allergy. There are vendors after vendors, passing out samples to try. Loading your bags with ... read more
