Hi friends! So, as I’ve already mentioned, Lars and I are doing the Whole30 for the second time. Since I have the benefit of experience this time around, I am making sure to get everything prepped and planned in advance. Part of that preparation included making this meal planner and grocery list. When I was…
We’re doing the Whole30… again!
In October of last year, Lars and I did the Whole30 for the first time. The Whole30 is a 30-day elimination diet, where you cut out all grains, sugars (yes, that includes alcohol), dairy, and legumes. This basically leaves you with meat, vegetables, fruit, nuts, and eggs. It may sound difficult, but it is totally…

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Glad & M&M’S®. All opinions are 100% mine. Holiday time! Only one of the best times of year.

I’ve been gluten free for a few years now, and in some of my gluten free cooking I’ve also experimented with paleo recipes. I think they’re…
Top Ten Honeycrisp Apple Recipes
It’s beginning to feel a lot like fall… and I’m excited. It’s not about the pumpkins, or sweaters, or not sweating the second you step outside. For me, fall is all about the honeycrisp apple. If you’ve never eaten a honeycrisp, you are missing out on life. I pretty much don’t want to eat anything…
Happy Birthday Harry Potter: Gluten Free Canary Creams
I guess you could say Harry and I are friends. I mean, I’ve read every book at least 3 times. And I listen to the audiobooks to help me sleep or on long car rides. Harry Potter is synonymous with my childhood. So naturally, I wanted to do something to celebrate his birthday. Well I’ve…
Gluten Free American Flag Pie
The Fourth of July is probably my favorite holiday. I have so many memories of going to the parade, and barbecues, and the fireworks. It is always a great time spent with family and friends. And my hometown, Glenview, has the best fireworks ever. Seriously. Their parade rocks too. Have you ever seen the Jesse…
