Low Carb Vegan Cheese Sauce Recipe – Nightshade Free, Paleo, Allergy Friendly

Sweet and Sticky Tofu Recipe- Gluten Free, Vegan, Easy, and Delicious
My kids aren’t the hugest fans of tofu. Plain, that is. They refer to it as a white sponge. But if it’s prepared with lots of flavor, as in this recipe, they definitely appreciate it. I made this tofu recipe based on my sweet and sticky green beans recipe and used it for poke bowls and […]
Easy Sesame Carrot Salad Recipe – Gluten Free, Vegan, Paleo, Allergy Friendly and Frugal
I almost feel like this is too simple and silly to be a recipe, but it’s yummy and good, and so what if it’s ridiculously easy? I made this side dish kind of accidentally, because I was making poke bowls (another post on that soon) and wanted to put grated carrots in it, but didn’t […]

Top Tips When You Decide to Cook with Kids
Kids love cooking. At least every kid I’ve met. But the thing is, parents don’t always like cooking with them, because it takes more time and makes more mess and sometimes it feels like it isn’t worth it. But it is. The skills the kids learn and the fun times they have are worth all […]
Easy Mulled Wine Recipe- Paleo, Allergy Friendly, Refined Sugar Free
I’m not a hot drinks person. I mean, in the past I loved a good hot cocoa, but with my having dairy issues, that became so much more complicated. Then I started drinking coffee, but my psychiatrist banned that for me. I haven’t been able to find a good consistent source of gluten free coffee […]
