Hello friends! Time for the weekly menu Jan 25, 2016. We are having a good start to the new year. Hope you had a good week and great start to the new year, too! There was a period of my life that I was in a very bad place after my mom’s passing but before the toxic mold exposure. Although I was in grad school...
Happy New Year and Food Choices in 2016!!! Wishing everyone a happy, healthy and bountiful 2016! New Year’s Day for Brett & me is all about football (because yesterday wasn’t enough) and eating “traditional foods” for good luck, health and prosperity! Black-eyed pea salad = good luck Greens = money and prosperity Pork/crumbled bacon = progress We’ve been making black-eyed pea dishes for New Year’s Day...
Here’s to A Happy New Year! I can’t believe this is the last casein free, gluten free weekly menu of 2015! It has gone by so fast. I’ve had a lot of fun coming up with the weekly menus and tracking our journey, trying new recipes, meats (bison) and veggies (kohlrabi) while learning and aspiring to make better food choices. And I’ve met a lot...
Happy Holidays Hope you’re having happy healthy holidays! This week’s gluten free weekly menu for Dec 14 is pretty simple and easy because, well you know how this time of year can be. I’m going to try to put a new spin on some older recipes. I found a vegan cheese from Field Roast Chao that is made with a coconut base and fermented tofu....
It’s time for the weekly menu Nov 30. And like that we are heading into December! I can’t believe how fast this year has gone by. It’s been a little strange keeping track of time via these gluten free weekly menus, but they have been so good for reducing my stress and anxiety about what to make for dinner. We’ve come a long way with...
Tourist in My Own Town Hi everyone! Hope you had a great week. Time for the weekly menu Oct 26 edition! Well our little staycation has come to an end since the husband’s project starts up again this week, but it has been a lot of fun. We even made it out to the Zilker Botanical Gardens last week. There were so many steps to...

This is a round up of some amazing new ideas and bonus recipes for autumn and the upcoming holidays from the awesome contributing food bloggers.

Serendipity and Gardening I’ve always loved the concept of serendipity – a “fortunate happenstance” or “pleasant surprise”. In science, I’ve known it to mean “chance favors the prepared mind”. Many great discoveries were serendipitous – the discovery of penicillin, x-rays, Velcro and even the not so great discovery of saccharine (ya know it’s really bad for you, right?). As a scientist, I loved working in...
Hi everyone! And welcome to our new followers! I hope you find some inspiration for cooking at home. Clean Eating It’s been an interesting journey as my husband and I transitioned from eating a lot of comfort or “junk” food to much cleaner cooking where we use fresh veggies, lean proteins, healthy grains and lots of spice! Our allergies are better, my digestion is better,...
Time for the gluten-free weekly menu Aug 31, 2015. I can’t tell you how excited I am that college football starts up again this weekend!!! Woohoo! I’m a Texas Ex Life Member and bleed burnt orange, as they say. And I love being back in Austin for football season! I went to UT during the Mackovic years (’90s) so my expectations are never that high...
This blog is about cooking real food from unprocessed ingredients to make simple and naturally gluten-free meals and mostly casein-free/dairy-free (except for a little aged Parmesan and goat milk). We try to "healthify” and clean up our favorite comfort foods using organic fresh veggies, lean proteins, healthy grains and lots of spice!
