Chris and I both have gym memberships, but we still wanted (and get lots of use out of) our home gym. I like to go to the gym early in the morning (like 5 a.m.) when it's not too crowded, and I can have my pick of machines. I've found that going even an hour […]

Dairy-Free Weeknight Dinner: Sheet-Pan Nachos (no grain or gluten, either)

I don't like the term "food restrictions." It just feels so... sad. And while there are certain things that people with food sensitivities and allergies have to accept (bread made from wheat has no equal — just the way it is), there are always foods that can step in and provide a delicious meal.

Soup season is upon us, and is there anything better than lifting the lid off of the pot for a steamy soup facial? These six soups are basically all stars, packed with so much flavor and creaminess and heartiness that you won't miss the gluten or the dairy. Dare I say it? They're better than […]
