Baked pumpkin seeds

Don’t throw them out!

The pumpkin innards might be ooky and gooky but it’s worth digging through them for the seeds. And since you are making a family activity of the carving, why not teach the kids about a healthy treat?

We used a cookie sheet with paper towels for the collection of the seeds, just so we had something to wipe them on when our fingers were sticky. Once all of the pumpkins were…

Running for clean water

Running for clean water

About 15 years ago I embarked on my first run. Without knowing how hard it was and how much conditioning needed to go into it (even with a young body), I took on a marathon.

No, I didn’t prepare enough. No, I didn’t condition like I should have. By the grace of God and constant encouragement by a friend who took on the race with me (thank you Laura), I made it to the end. I was unable to sit or…

Doing Disney on a Dime.

Doing Disney on a Dime.

I love, love, love the magic of the kingdom and all it’s sister parks. The thrill of the rides, the characters and the food! Yes, they have some fabulous accommodations for allergy/celiac sufferers that make you want to cancel plans to travel anywhere else, BUT… that is for a later post. Today I’m going to give some of my tips for traveling to Disney and some of the things that I found to be $$…

Gluten Free Food Allergy Fest

Gluten Free Food Allergy Fest

I’ve been attending this gluten free food sampling Mecca since it started in Indy. In fact, when it started, it was not owned by Gluten free & more magazine. It was a local creation.

After the initiation years and public build-up, the magazine purchased the show and took over. However, things have changed.

While I still love the accessibility to new gluten free products, sampling before buying…

I just filled the freezer with easy stuff. • Sometimes it makes me feel guilty for not making more home cooked meals but most of the time I'm just proud we didn't have popcorn and ice cream. • Can we call that a mom win? #glutenfree #gflife #gfkids #quickdinners #celiac #dairyfree #eatallergyfree #eatgf #tifshealthtips #indyeats #indy #shoppinggf #momwin

Gluten Free Subscription Box

Gluten Free Subscription Box

So, I’ve tried them… various gluten free boxes with minimal products, stocked full of the same ole, same ole or worse… just a few measly samples. Ugh. 

When I had the option to try American Gluten Free @americanglutenfree I was skeptical because of these experiences. 

However, all I had to do was open the box to realize this was different. Very different. 

What a shock to see the box lipping full…

I've been so caught up in quinoa that I didn't even try grated cauliflower to replace my grain... until I realized how many calories I was consuming. 😢 • Tossed with some soy sauce, it tastes remarkably similar and saves me tons of calories. I tossed mine with mushrooms. • #glutenfree #celiac #lowcalorie #healthyfood #healthychoices #gfblogger #gfindy #blogger #tifshealthtips #traderjoes

Fajita taco salad, sans bowl and I didn't eat the sour cream. Very filling. Very satisfying. • #glutenfree #gfindy #tifshealthtips #celiac #blogger #gfblogger #fajitasalad (at La Hacienda Mexican Restaurant)
