I totally forgot about the strawberries that the little man and I picked last June until I reorganized my chest freezer a few weeks ago. I had frozen these to make a batch of strawberry jam but never got around to it. They are a great reminder that you don't need to turn your fruit harvests into sugar filled jams and jellies if you've got enough freezer space! We're approaching the end of winter, so the freshness of these sweet tiny berries was surprising. I just heated them in a saucepan, ...

Garlicky Spinach; Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Soy Free, Nut Free
So, I've been working on a post about my "I'm getting sick" meal plan for about a month now - Yes, a month! Hopefully I'll have it posted within the next week or so. Until then, I wanted to share this recipe for garlicky spinach that is a part of the meal plan. Once you go gluten free, dairy free, and soy free, it seems like all of the really easy side dishes go out the window (think, things that come in a box, bag, or packet)! We've been eating this quite a bit lately, mainly because it's ...
Double Chocolate Chip Pancakes; Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Soy Free, Nut Free Recipe
These are quite a treat! So good in fact, that I have been known to sneak a few leftover pancakes as "dessert" - cold - right out of the fridge. If you visit my blog often you probably know about my "Homemade GF, DF, SF, NF Pancake mix". I use it ALL the time to make not only pancakes but also breads and cakes. I usually have about 10 cups on hand in a container stored in my pantry, not that it's hard to make, but when you have a 2 year old who loves to help "mix", it does tend to make a ...
GF Pumpkin Pancakes; Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Soy Free, Nut Free Recipe
I can't believe it's that time again! Has it really been a year since I meant to post these gluten free, dairy free, soy free, nut free pumpkin pancakes? I read an article last night that blames the pumpkin spice obsession on Starbucks who created the pumpkin spice latte back in 2003. Well, sorry to say but my family has been obsessed with pumpkin spice everything for much longer than that! Even the newest member of the family loves these, in fact, they're his favorite flavor of pancakes so we ...
Apple Fritter Pancakes with Cinnamon; Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Soy Free, Nut Free Recipe
The title makes these sound like they'd be really fattening and horrible for you doesn't it? Good news! All the flavor and texture of apple fritters but less sugar, less fat, no gluten, no dairy, no soy, no nuts :). These have only a tiny bit more sugar than my regular GF pancakes and they are great without the addition of maple syrup (so less sugar overall for us)! They are doughy on the inside, crispy around the edges, apple cinnamon-y goodness! They are the absolute perfect fall ...
