Happy Fall! It's the most wonderful time of the year. I'm so grateful we live in a place where we get to enjoy all the seasons, even if Winter comes on pretty fast and sticks around for awhile, right now we are knee de. But I've learned that more than anything, you can create the […]

Rosemary Caramel Baked Apples (it's also gluten free, dairy free, grain free)

Whenever I hear someone make the claim that an allergy-friendly version of something is "better than the original" I tend to roll my eyes. "I just have them wrap my burger with lettuce - you don't even miss the bun!!" Nobody believes you, sit down. But after years of having to navigate various food allergies […]

Casual Friday: A Food Diary, Bedroom Makeover, Fun Fall Nail Color and More!

I got diagnosed with Hashimoto's over 6 years ago and what started as a strict gluten free diet has gradually morphed into something more restrictive as the years have passed, as I have had more children and as my condition has advanced. This is not an opportunity for medical advice (I'm under the care of […]

How to Craft the Perfect Charcuterie Board (+ a couple easy condiment recipes)

The word "charcuterie" has expanded a bit beyond its classic French roots, and is sometimes used to describe a collection of meats, cheeses, fruits and other finger foods arranged together. I understand that purists scoff at this change, but I care less about what I call it and more about whether or not the people […]

Casual Friday: Floor Sitting, Rugs and Rug Pads, New Exterior Inspo, CBD Face Oil and More!

Something about me is I love to sit on the floor. Even subconsciously I'll sometimes choose the floor over a couch, chair or, well, bed. I think it started when I had our oldest daughter and I found myself sitting on the floor to play with her and be closer to her. And now, 9 […]

Grain, Gluten & Dairy Free Clam Chowder

Chowders are typically creamy soups thickened with corn starch or flour. Rhode Island Clam Chowder is not thickened, doesn't include cream, and is a great option for those who may love clam chowder but can't eat grains. And though it traditionally calls for butter, it can easily be made dairy free as well by subbing […]

Arugula & Prosciutto Salad with Apple Cider Vinaigrette

Is there anything more "fall" than the taste and smell of mulling spices? But with nearly a month still to go, I can't move away from all this fresh produce yet. This salad is fresh and flavorful, perfectly walking a tightrope between the seasons. It only takes a few minutes to prepare and would be […]

We had a fun tiling project come up which spurred a mini bathroom renovation in Greta's bathroom (remember when we introduced it here). We got the floors tiled yesterday and today we'll grout and then I'll paint the walls and maybe add wallpaper (or maybe not because I really want to wallpaper her room--I think?) […]
