When I first found out I could no longer eat gluten, it sorta-kinda felt like my world was ending. I know that is melodramatic... I really, really do. But it is the truth. After the news settled and I began to wrap my mind around all of the things I loved to eat and still … Continue reading Loaded Carne Asada Sweet Potato Fries – GF, DF
I was a late bloomer when it came to having full appreciation for ethnic foods. Really, really late. I spent the first 25-ish years of my life enjoying a very mundane and unadventurous diet. I didn't realize it at the time, of course, but as I began to explore new cuisines and venture into new … Continue reading Slow Cooker Chicken Curry – GF & DF
Both my husband and I enjoy the time we spend in the kitchen cooking for our family, and I am thankful that the kids are taking notice and becoming interested in helping and getting creative in their own ways.

My year can be broken into two categories, as defined by soup. It's either soup season or it's not soup season. Here in Wyoming, soup season lasts far longer than not soup season. Soup season around here starts in September and runs through about April, and there shall be no soup (cue Seinfeld- "NO SOUP … Continue reading Chicken Taco Soup
Do you ever make dinner solely based on leftover-lunch potential? That is literally about 97% of what I consider when I plan our meals for the week. Will it be good reheated?

Fall is in the air. It's official. Whether we are ready or not, there is a crispness in the morning air that tells us Mother Nature isn't waiting much longer to change seasons on us.
