Bringing the True, Pure & Lovely into your Life.
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 [...]
You know what I looooove? peanut butter + chocolate single serve dessert this mug: I mean everyone loves the salty, creamy peanut butter + rich, dark chocolate combo I’m pretty sure. And this cake is a total hero when you’re in dire need a sweet treat… Like a serious treat, ok. Not a yogurt [...]
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 [...]
I’m fairly certain my love language is baking. It’s certainly my favorite way to show love. I’ve been known to stay up for hours perfecting a beautiful birthday cake for my hubby, completely re-bake a batch of baby shower cupcakes that didn’t turn out just perfect, or whip up scones just because a friend is [...]
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, [...]

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 [...]
