Have Basket…Will Travel
The last two years have brought about great changes in my family’s diet. We have been introduced to Bountiful Baskets which has helped us make living fruits and veggies the base of each meal. We have had three out of six of us diagnosed with celiac disease requiring a gluten-free […]
Roasting Pumpkins & Winter Squash
With Fall quickly upon us and all the lovely pumpkins and squash available in the Harvest packs, I couldn’t resist roasting one. The process is simple, and the results are well worth the effort. No more canned pumpkin puree for me!

I was already committed to having a “non-processed” pantry and she was already gluten-free so I […]
