Nutella Banana Sushi
| August 27, 2012 | Posted by Amee under Appetizers, Breakfast, Desserts, Gluten-Free |
I love bananas and I love sushi! When I saw this cute banana sushi pin on Pinterest, I got excited, until I clicked through to the recipe and saw they used wheat bread. We eat gluten free as a family for my son Tristan and gluten free bread does not and would not wrap around a banana like wheat bread does. I tried to make some banana sushi using rice tortillas,… more
{Sponsor Product Review} Velata Chocolate Fun Fondue
| August 23, 2012 | Posted by Amee under Gluten-Free, Gluten-Free Reviews |
Today I have something so delicious and mouthwatering to share with you, even my taste buds are fired up as I type. Do you love chocolate? I sure do and what better way to eat chocolate than when it is melted and dipable (is that even a word?). One of my sponsors who is a consultant for Scentsy, and also now for Scentsy’s new product line Velata, sent a fondue warmer to me that is… more
DIY Felt Board Tutorial
| August 21, 2012 | Posted by Amee under How To . . ., Kid's Corner |
Two years ago I decided to pull my little boy Tristan out of pre-school because of ongoing problems in the classroom with another child. Even though my son was only three, I decided to start home schooling him. I bought a calendar set, and I laminated it because my son notoriously destroys everything in his path. One of Tristan’s therapists suggested I purchase a felt board to stick my extra… more
I Got Fired!
| August 20, 2012 | Posted by Amee under General, Inspirations |
I have never been fired by anyone or from anything in my life until this past month. A few weeks ago, I received a letter in the mail from my older two children’s pediatrician. In the letter it stated if I did not bring my children up to date in their vaccinations and start vaccinating on The Maryland Healthy Kids Program Schedule they would no longer take care of my… more
My Home Birth Story
| August 15, 2012 | Posted by Amee under Birth and Baby |
December fourth was a Sunday and I slept in until almost noon and woke up feeling large like an elephant waddling side to side. I was ready to be done, but my baby girl seemed to love her little home. As I neared my fortieth week of pregnancy, I switched last minute from a hospital to a home birth. You can read about my last minute change of plans here. Several weeks… more
Quinoa Coconut Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Cookies
| August 10, 2012 | Posted by Amee under Desserts, Gluten-Free |
I am not a big fan of sweets, but there is nothing I love better than a tall glass of milk and a really chewy, moist, and yummy cookie. To me the perfect cookie must have chocolate chips and a nice subtle flavor. The other day my son Tristan asked me to make some cookies, and I love to bake and make fun treats with my kids, so I did.… more
Quinoa Burger Patties
| August 7, 2012 | Posted by Amee under Gluten-Free, Super-Easy Recipes, Vegetarian |
When we decided to go gluten free as a family, one of the new foods introduced to us was the seed quinoa. I had never heard of it, but quinoa is now one of our favorite staples in the pantry. Quinoa is wonderful because it cooks quickly, it is a super nutritious complete protein, and it has a wonderful mild flavor all on its own. I love quinoa because most… more
