Summer is a great time to check off some of your bucket list items, but it’s also a great time to embrace better nutrition and healthy lifestyle practices. I am back from the beach after a week of rest, relaxation and drinking fresh smoothies daily! I felt so much better at the beach that I have been inspired to continue with the smoothies at home. I have had a very difficult summer with my health due to autoimmune issues and digestive disorders, but lately I have been able to tolerate organic ( allergy friendly/refined sugar free) smoothies and I really believe drinking them is helping me to heal. I am so excited about how much better I am feeling, so I was inspired to share five nutritious gluten free, dairy free, and refined sugar free smoothie recipes here on the blog.  Read more

Hello dear friends! Do you get tired of cooking the same old meals over and over? I think I already know the answer to that question! I mean, don’t we all? After many years of dealing with multiple food intolerances and stomach issues, I have been forced to rotate a limited number of meals. While they are delicious, my family and I have become so bored from eating the same “safe” recipes all the time. My teenage son is always watching cooking shows, and the other day he asked me if I had considered cooking with wine. He specifically wondered if it would be safe for our family (three of us with food allergies) so I decided to do a little research. As it turns out, wine is a great way to add different flavors to meals and most all wine is gluten free. With that in mind, I searched on Pinterest for some gluten free recipes (also dairy free) which call for wine. I am hoping these new recipes will add some “flavor” to our monthly meal choices. Read more
