Happy February! I am recovering from the flu that has hit our town hard. Half of the schools closed, not due to snow like the rest of the country (although we have plenty of that, too) but due to a big flu outbreak. Our family almost escaped without getting hit, but this week Polly and […]

On the Hunt for our Forever House

Two years ago, there was a house for sale that we lovingly referred to as "dream house." It's on a large lot of mature trees with lots of windows and interesting architecture--all a rarity for our neck of the woods. It didn't look like...an Idaho house. At the time we weren't in a position to […]

I also love adjusting classic, traditionally heavy party foods to be a little more healthy without people feeling like they're being cheated out of enjoyment. QVC has all […]

Healthy Nachos (grain, soy & dairy free)

Though Jules can't eat grain, soy or dairy, that doesn't mean we can't all still enjoy a plate of nachos together! This is a great version that is friendly for many restricted diets, but good enough that the whole family (even the kids) will love it. A healthier take on nachos when you're craving the […]
