Almond Flour Oat Muffins

I have recently begun experimenting with some gluten free recipes at the suggestion of my doctor. My hormones have been acting up a little lately, which is just so fun, and cutting back on gluten is one of the more natural ways to keep them in check. I haven’t jumped all aboard the gluten free

Marinated Flank Steak

Let’s talk Flank Steak. This is a great way to fulfill a steak craving if you are working within a budget. Where I live it tends to run about $14/lb and one 2 lb steak is capable of feeding my family( of four) two meals, provided there are appropriate sides. A typical combination for me

Feeding My Flock

I have been sharing a lot about food lately and will probably continue to do so and I figured it was time to share a little about that with you. My relationship with food was influenced largely by growing up in a home with a Type 1 Diabetic, my oldest sister. Our family diet was

Crab cakes

For the last couple weeks my home has been filled with the roar of cannons and splashing of waves upon the Jolly Roger. There have been pirate fights and misadventure aplenty. Captain Hook has invaded my home. You may think this means that one of my children has been dressing up and you would be

Barbecue Chicken Bell Peppers

Who here loves Stuffed Peppers? This girl is raising her hand up high. They are a personal favorite of mine and I was so excited to receive coupons for Bell Peppers in the mail this week. I love the different ways you can flavor them and how colorful and fresh they make your plate. My

Marriage, Sarcasm, and Potatoes

What does the history of the Irish Potato Famine have to do with my family? I’m so glad you asked. Let me tell you a story. Sometime ago, between 1 week or 5. I’m not sure I keep count the same anymore. Thank you, Quarantine. I made a mostly sarcastic comment to my husband about

Sourdough Bread with Garlic Herb Butter

Okay! So this is how I like to make my Garlic Bread; a tangy, chewy bread with a crunchy exterior and slathered in savory butter. I was, quite literally, shooing my children away from the butter mixture as I prepared this for our dinner last night. Kids with milk mustaches are cute, kids with butter

Zucchini Lasagna

I grew up in a home with a Type 1 Diabetic, so there are some diet practices my family adapted that were outside of the norm for my generation. This means there was no soda, juice was only available on special occasions, candy only on very special occasions, and our starches were always limited. The

Chocolate Pudding

We have been having a mud pie week; digging in the sand and dirt, slapping cakes on the ground, and decorating with whatever foliage is around. We have been enjoying the fading summer, and connecting with each other as we dig in the dirt. All the talk of mud pies, however, had me craving some

Chicken Pot Pie Filling

Chicken Pot Pie, the ultimate comfort food. Am I right? I love one dish meals. Even better is if they include a large variety of protein and vegetables. While I am not sure I can classify Chicken Pot pie as a Health food (a girl can dream though, right?) this recipe is full of real
