Last weekend, my 3-year-old looked at my tummy. Yeah. My poor stretched out, 3 times c-sectioned tummy. I’m only 5’2″, and thank goodness my babies weren’t big, (all hovering around six pounds), but the remnants of pregnancy aren’t pretty. I’ve dieted and exercised and only tip the scales at 110, but my tummy has issues. [...]
Hello Friends! It will soon be summer, which usually means quick foods, fun foods, not-turning-on-the-stove foods, and fair & festival food. What better food to turn to than corn dogs? I’ve actually never been a huge fan of corn dogs, but I am now! Being gluten-free, I cannot eat them out at fairs & festivals [...]
I cook quite a few skillet dishes. I love chopping veggies, making noodles and sauces and tossing them together. This is an ethnic dish that was very tasty! I don’t like spicy food, and my husband doesn’t like peppers of any kind, so I altered the recipe accordingly for us. I’m sure the dish is [...]
Oooohhh yes! A sweet decadent meal. Crepes for supper! That’s what we did. But they are good for breakfast and lunch, too! Protein comes from 3 eggs and ricotta cheese filling. Cherries or a fruit of your choice (it could be healthier with fresh fruit), fill the bill for fruits/veggies. And the rice flour provides [...]
During the colder winter months, (at least here in Ohio), I tend to make more soups, stews, and chili. Dishes that are easy, healthy, comforting, and warming. I came across a recipe for Quinoa Chowder back in the summertime and saved it for a winter’s meal. It was very good and met my guidelines for [...]
Happy Valentines Day, Friends! I got a new gluten-free cookbook for Christmas that I just got out last week and started reading. (Yes, I read cookbooks and recipes as if they’re novels!) They had a recipe for “Mini Goat Cheese & Fig Pizzas”. I suppose that would taste good, but there were many shrieks of [...]
Hi FLT Friends! In my last post, I wrote about The Colors & Cups Challenge, daring you to not focus on dieting, but rather on eating more fruits and veggies. There, I talked about eating fruit for dessert – for both lunch and supper. Eating a piece of fresh fruit is awesome! It’s healthy, sweet, [...]
photo credit www.freedigitalphotos.net Happy New Year, Friends! Did you make any resolutions or set any goals? How about for your health? I would like you all to take a few minutes to think about your health in a new way. No diets. Dieting mentality is drudgery, sulking about how you can’t eat this or that. [...]
Hey Fancy Little Things Friends, I hope your Christmas has been full of wonder and very blessed! In going along with our star theme for December, I am doing recipes using star fruit. If you would like to see what a whole star fruit looks like or to catch the recipe, click on over: Star-Fruit [...]
How about a healthy sweet dessert that looks Christmas-y and goes along with our theme for December? Shining Stars: “You shine like stars in the universe as you hold out the word of life.” Phillipians 2:15b-16 Star fruit is delicious! If you’ve never tried it, it has the texture of an apple and tastes like [...]
Happy Thanksgiving, Friends! As we now begin to turn our thoughts from Thanksgiving to Christmas, what more delectable thing to plan than what kinds of Christmas cookies to make this year? Obviously, there is nothing healthy about this post! Everything, including sweets, in moderation…and everyone is entitled to an indulgence every once in a while. [...]
Thanksgiving is right around the corner. It is a holiday of gathering with family and friends and to celebrate what we are blessed with by eating together. The following recipes can be made gluten-free or with wheat ingredients. They’re scrumptious and give people who are on a gluten-free diet options for Thanksgiving meals! When thinking [...]
