Harvest Veggie Soup; Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Soy Free, Nut Free, Vegan Optional Recipe

March 28, 2020 by Kristina 1 Comment

Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Soy Free, Nut Free, Allergen friendly harvest Veggie soup made with root vegetables

It's cold and rainy in Michigan today and I'm wishing I had some homemade chicken broth ready for a soup like this one. This soup is naturally gluten free, dairy free, soy free, nut free, egg free and can be easily made vegan. It also could easily be made nightshade free with the elimination of the tomatoes. I first had a soup like this at one of my favorite restaurants. They hosted a charity event for my son's preschool, a "Harvest Social" and featured their version of this soup. I actually ...

Mustard Chicken; Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Soy Free, Nut Free Recipe

November 18, 2019 by Kristina Leave a Comment

When we went gluten, dairy, soy, nut, processed &  preservative free, we also went organic! Before this change we made a lot of our meals with packaged sauces from jars, from squeeze bottles, even occasionally as a powder in packets - there weren't many options that fit into our dietary restrictions.  So, back  then, changing our diet meant also changing the way we cook - mainly, we had to learn to cook from scratch.  Now, 7 years later, there are a lot of organic and allergy friendly sauces ...

Spring Vegetable Risotto; Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Soy Free, Nut Free Recipe

May 30, 2018 by Kristina 1 Comment

Asparagus is in it's prime right now! All of the little farms in the outskirts of our area have signs up selling it and my son and I even went to a u-pick last week.  I'm dying to post some asparagus recipes and started a post yesterday about "Canning Pickled Asparagus" but I can't post it because I actually haven't tried it yet (I like to let it sit for a few weeks before I open it). Something I can post, this gluten free, dairy free, soy free, nut free spring vegetable risotto, which ...

Bruschetta Chicken over Spaghetti Squash; Gluten free, dairy free, soy free, nut free recipe

February 9, 2018 by Kristina Leave a Comment

We're in the middle of the most hyped snow storm I can remember in Michigan - school was cancelled before the snow started yesterday and we, owning a construction company, scrambled to get a tarp over a house that we ripped the second story off this week (don't worry, we own the place) and determined that today would be a snow day for our business also. The snow started this morning (Friday AM) and will continue through Sunday - they say we'll get 9" today alone! I made the unfortunate mistake ...

High Dose Vitamin C – Does it work to cure a cold?

October 31, 2017 by Kristina Leave a Comment

I just looked outside and it's SNOWING....yes, SNOWING! Why does it seem like it always snows on Halloween? Last week it was seriously in the 60s! So, it's Halloween morning. My son is sleeping in the room next to me, I'm writing and recovering from a cold. It seems like I've been getting colds non-stop lately. Actually, it doesn't just seem like it, I have..... I had one in early August, late September and now, late October. We went to the apple orchard on Sunday with Little Man and the ...

Chicken, Tomatillo, and Bean Chili; Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Soy Free, Nut Free Recipe

October 7, 2017 by Kristina 2 Comments

Well, you can congratulate me :) I got through the entire summer without posting any new healthy recipes! IIn my mind I have hopes that this delicious Chicken Tomatillo Chili will be the first of a few this fall but my track record is not that great! I have been sooooo busy, and because I've been busy, I haven't been experimenting in the kitchen much and have been "cheating" a lot.  My household is always gluten free, dairy free (we I am at least), soy free, and nut free - even when we're busy ...

Changing a Toddlers Diet for Better Dental Health

May 16, 2017 by Kristina Leave a Comment

I haven't been posting much the last year or so because my husband and my business has taken off and it, and managing it, along with a very active 3 year old, keeps me pretty busy. Today on a whim, I decided to take a look at the blog traffic and noticed that it was 1/10th of what it once was - boo! No new content means no new or returning readers.  I'm going to try and change that! During my little hiatus, most of me and my families diets have stayed the same, some things have changed. I have ...

Leek and Cauliflower Soup

March 21, 2017 by Kristina Leave a Comment

This soup is so light and flavorful. It's great as a starter, a snack, paired with a salad for a light lunch, etc. It freezes perfectly! I freeze mine in pint sizes mason jars for single sized portions that I can reheat quickly on the stove. We've has quite the week here at our house....I'll spare you the details but will tell you, we were all pretty under the weather (I actually think this is the first time in our 10 years that my husband has had a fever).  After a week like that I'm left with ...

It has been absolutely FOREVER since I last posted and we're now to the point of the year where it gets really hard to get good photos of the food I'm making for dinner because it's dark at like 5pm - booo!
