Low Sugar Plum Jam and Canned Plums Recipes
| July 13, 2012 | Posted by Amee under Gluten-Free |
Where my husband works there are eight plum trees that bear lots of fruit, but usually no one picks the plums and they fall to the ground for the deer and bugs to eat. My hubby and I loaded up the kids early one Saturday morning with baskets and a step ladder in hand to go and forage some of these sweet baby plums. When we arrived the branches… more

I love summer because of all the fresh fruit available around where I live. We have picked fruit at farms or at my hubby’s place of work for the past four weekends. I have about 20 pounds of blueberries already frozen, 25 quarts of peaches canned, 24 half-pints of plum jam and 21 quarts of canned plums, and 26 half-pints of strawberry jam made as well. Blackberries are coming on… more
Ginger Coconut Seafood Curry

Thai Inspired Ginger Coconut Seafood Curry My husband and I love Thai food, but where we live finding a good Thai restaurant is next to impossible. Luckily for me my hubby loves to cook and experiment in the kitchen. A few months ago he brought home some imitation crab meat and whipped up this fabulous seafood curry. Our kids even ate it and loved every bit of it too. Hope… more
Sweet Chili Lime Turkey Burgers

I love summer, but what I love more is my husband loves to grill. The other night he said he could grill some chicken and I told him I had some ground turkey I was needing to use. The previous night I had made this wonderful Ginger Mango Salsa on Seared Tilapia with Cilantro Dressing and I had some of those same ingredients leftover. I threw in some juice from… more

As a child one of my favorite things to do was go fishing with my dad. I remember many times waking up before the sun rose, dressing in layers, and grabbing my child sized fishing rod. What I loved most about fishing were the talks my dad and I had and the fun memories. I remember this one time we were visiting my oldest sister in Oregon. My sister lives… more

| June 7, 2012 | Posted by Amee under Desserts, Gluten-Free |
I love being a mom and having kids for a number of reasons. The hugs, kisses, and cuddles are a treat. I get to make fun crafts and play outside with the water table and in our homemade sprinkler. What I love most about having kids is creating fun, colorful and delicious healthy snacks. As a child I loved popsicles, but most popsicles are full of colors,… more
Almond Cherry Crisp – Gluten Free
| June 5, 2012 | Posted by Amee under Desserts, Gluten-Free |
This past weekend I noticed the cherries on my one cherry tree were ready for picking. The cherries were a beautiful bright red and the flavor a perfect blend of sweet and sour. I picked cherries as I watched my children swing and slide on their play set. It was a beautiful day and one I will not forget because as I picked my last bowl full of cherries the… more
Cauliflower Crust Pizza
| June 3, 2012 | Posted by Amee under Gluten-Free, Vegetarian |
It is no secret that I love to eat and one of my favorite comfort foods is pizza. I love everything about pizza the texture, the sauce, the cheese, the smells and if my kids are not around the veggies I can pile on top too. The other week a friend of mine told me how she had made her family a pizza for dinner, but the kicker is the… more
Homemade Low Sugar Strawberry Jam
| May 26, 2012 | Posted by Amee under Gluten-Free, How To . . . |
Growing up In Montana and Nevada I never had the experience of U-Pick farms where you can go with your family to pick the fruit yourself. My husband grew up in Southwest Michigan among the fruit orchards, and picking fruit with his dad and brothers are some of his fondest memories. When we moved to Maryland we found lots of U-Pick farms within a half hour of our home. It… more
Homemade Strawberry Fruit Leather

As a child I loved fruit roll-ups and my mom sent them in almost all my school lunches. When my children got old enough I planned on buying them fruit roll-ups, but when I read the label of ingredients it saddened me to see all the chemical, colorings, and unhealthy ingredients in them. Recently I pinned a roll-up recipe by The Copycat Cook and I realized I could make my… more
Roofing Nightmares and Strawberry Shortcake

My husband and I were newly weds when we purchased our first home a quaint little ranch with a lot of old charm nestled in the beautiful State of Maine. This house was in dire need of some TLC and we were the couple to do it. We both were newbies when it came to home improvement, but we would work hard and figure it all out along the way.… more
Five Crock Pots, Five Gluten Free Breads, and a Recipe
| May 16, 2012 | Posted by Amee under Gluten-Free, Slow Cooker |
I made the decision two and a half years ago to have our family go gluten free. I have no issues myself with gluten, but my son Tristan is sensitive to it and was a different child once we took gluten out of his system. One of my hardest transitions going gluten free was bread. I love bread and I struggle staying gluten free because it is my biggest cheat.… more
Chicken Coconut Crock Pot Curry

As a busy mother of three I have a love affair with my crock pot. My crock pot allows me to cook healthy and yummy dinners for my family and saves me from ordering out. One of the foods I love to cook are curries. We make a curry similar to this on the stove, but I changed it up a bit to be crock pot friendly. This recipe is… more

This past February my kids and I went to a play date with lots of other mama’s and their kiddos. The play date started inside with kids playing with musical instruments, dolls, and blocks. The hostess made delicious fruit and veggie smoothies for all of us to drink and other mom’s brought snacks. Seasonally, it was an unusually warm morning with temperatures already into the high 60′s. We collectively rounded up… more
