So my husband is a very meat and potatoes kind of guy. I’m Italian and not meat and potatoes. I remember the first time I made him a meatloaf my husband told me it tasted like a meatball more than a meatloaf. After 12 years together I think I have perfected my recipe and come to find out our 2 children LOVE meatloaf too.
So now that I’m the odd ball out I end up making meatloaf more because my family goes crazy over it.

Sorry it has been so long since my last post. My iPad got thrown by my toddler and it shattered making it a little more difficult for me to have time to get to a computer…
Anyways back to business 🙂
I was looking through my fridge and noticed I had a few zucchini that needed to be used. I also remembered how my husband mentioned the last time I made Banana Bread (which he hates bananas) that next time I should make Zucchini bread.
So here it is. Continue reading

Our GFCF cookie jar was empty and again I was looking for a cookie that not only my daughter and I could enjoy but also the whole family.
I remembered I had a container of egg whites in the fridge from a recipe I had made the week before.
Egg whites are the main ingredient for one of my favorite cookies- Meringues!
They are a great pallet for many different flavors and mix ins. They are also natural gluten/dairy free.
For basic meringues here is what you will need… Continue reading

My neighbor makes home-made strawberry jam. Let me tell you it is absolutely AMAZING!!! This year he was kind enough to give me a container of it. 🙂
Since they were so sweet to share I decided to make them some cookies in appreciation.
I had been wanting to make peanut butter cookies that my daughter and I could eat (Gluten and Casein Free) so I decided to make a double batch.
Even better than peanut butter cookies I decided to use some of the fresh strawberry jam to make peanut butter and jelly cookies!
Now if you don’t have a neighbor that brings you fresh strawberry jam- don’t let it stop you. Any kind of jam will do.
For these super yummy peanut butter cookies you’ll need Continue reading

I was walking through my kitchen and noticed I had 3 very ripe banana’s in the fruit basket.
The first thing that popped in my head was banana bread! Oh how I missed banana bread- I hadn’t had any since I went gluten free 3 years ago.
I decided it was time to change that. I was going to have banana bread and so was my daughter!
I had basically just placed an order for a gluten free, dairy/casein free banana bread and now I had to figure out how to do it. Continue reading
For months I have been trying to find a cake- including frosting recipe that the whole family could enjoy. With Giada being Casein/dairy free on top of both her and I being gluten free I thought it would be a pretty tall order to fill.
Turns out I was wrong! It just took me stepping out of my comfort zone for a second and the result was amazing! Continue reading
