My version of Trader Joe’s kale & cauliflower curry salad

Has anyone tried this salad from Trader Joe’s? I wanted to make this for myself the second I laid eyes on it in the prepared section of the store.  I knew my version would have a gluten free grain instead of the TJs one with wheat berries. I looked up the ingredients online and basically winged it from there.  I loved it, but then I like all things kale so that’s no surprise.  Kyle really liked it too though, so there you go. If you are so inclined you could maybe add sautéed onions (that means it won’t… Read more >

Inspired by my son who cannot eat soy, sesame, gluten, tree nuts, and peanuts (all common in Asian cuisine) I developed this recipe so he could share our meal with us as well.  It’s the first time I gave him coconut amino and… Read more >

One zucchini recipe

And just like that, zucchini game is ON. My mini man likes zucchini just like his mama, so I thought it would be awesome to grow some in the garden…but for the SECOND YEAR IN A ROW my plant has produced nothing but males.  What. The. Heck.  !?!? So I bought some at farmer’s market. And made muffins.  Mini ones to be exact.  And they don’t call for any sweetener at all so they are perfect for little ones with un-warped palates.  Or adults who want to give their sweet tooth a break.  They are still… Read more >

Slow cooker stuffed bell peppers

Whatcha gonna do with a bunch of bell peppers and tomatoes? Stuff em.  With each other. Set and forget is all you want on a 108 degree day anyway.  I prepped this while feeding little man breakfast.  He ate the tops of the bell peppers (diced) and then tried to swoop on a tomato in the process. Slow cooker beef and tomato stuffed bell peppers [gluten free, soy free, peanut/tree nut free, dairy free, sesame free] Ingredients: 5-6 bell peppers 1 lb ground meat (I used beef) 3 tomatoes, diced 1 green onion, sliced 1 cup… Read more >
