Homemade Gluten Free Flours- With No Grain Grinder!

Homemade brown rice flour (left) and millet flour (rice) Ever since beginning a gluten free diet, I’ve noticed one thing. Gluten free flour is prohibitively expensive! I usually would buy wheat flour in 2.5 lb packages for approximately a dollar per package for white flour and whole wheat flour for $1.25 for that same package (roughly 40 […]

Sun Tea- Iced Tea in the Sun

I’m not a Southern Belle. I think aside for a trip to Disney World and a trip to the Grand Canyon as a kid, I’ve never as much stepped foot in the southern part of the US. (Oh wait- does a road trip to West Virginia count?) Southern things are foreign to me, things I […]

Delicious Baked Lentils Recipe

Woohoo! So glad I announced already that I’m pregnant, because now when I have a two day period like I just had, I can actually explain myself instead of keeping mum. Yesterday I went into the city on a trip with the kids. Throughout the day, we must have walked over 2.5 miles in the […]
