I recently got some Udi’s gluten free products in the mail to try out. Udi’s generously sent me a loaf of millet-chia bread, and a bag of their au natural granola. I was excited to try both! First I tried out the granola, I have been eating greek yogurt and organic berries for breakfast in the morning for a while (I am not casein free my sons are). So I  [ Read More ]

This Saturday was our date day. Neil’s sister came over and watched the boys for us. Neil and I ran around town and looked at home improvement stuff then stopped in at HIDEAWAY PIZZA.

So  [ Read More ]

I have made GFCF poptarts in the past but they are never quite right or I can’t duplicate them. So this week I tried out THIS RECIPE. It was pretty good. The boys like it so I would use it again. I basically made it exactly how they suggest, I used butter flavor crisco, and earths balance. I did however need much more water than the recipe calls for. I  [ Read More ]

My sweet little Alex turned 6 and when I asked him what kind of cupcakes he wanted he said emphatically “chocolate marshmallow cupcakes” so these are the cupcakes I made him. They are so good. My friend who is not gfcf actually called me and asked me for the recipe — she said she wanted to make them for her own birthday exactly how I did because she had been  [ Read More ]

Happy Father’s Day all you Dad’s out there! My husband Neil is such a great Dad! Today we spent the day celebrating as a family. We all slept in, the boys made Neil cards, we went to the Oklahoma Science Museum and ran around there, then came home and swam for a few hours. I asked him what he wanted for dinner and he said he wanted my roasted red  [ Read More ]

So back in 2000 my mother got married and moved to Texas… BOO!!! (Boo Texas, Go OU, & Yay Mike) While not a big fan of my mother being 8 hours away, the fact that she is in Texas, or that she wears cowboy boots regularly… TWO good things did come of her move. #1 her marriage — She is married to an awesome Godly man who loves her, and  [ Read More ]
