I haven’t done a meal planning post in a while, so here’s a look at what we’re eating lately! Our grocery bill continues to be wayyy above where I’d like it to be, even with buying a lot of essentials at Target… but perhaps that’s just the way life is these days.… Read More »
15 Ways to Use Rotisserie Chicken for an Easy Dinner
My family never bought rotisserie chickens growing up. My mom (well, both my parents really) is an incredible cook and would make a roast chicken, roasted potatoes and steamed vegetables from scratch every weekend.
And while I would love to be the perfect housewife who has a whole roast dinner on the table promptly at 5pm every Sunday, well… in this stage of life with three under four… it’s not happening.

Quinoa & Kale Pilaf with Quail Eggs (GF + Vegetarian)

Or, if I do cook meat, it’s more as another ingredient or condiment versus being the “main dish” on its own.… Read More »
Feeding a Gluten-Free & Dairy-Free Toddler
This fall little E was diagnosed with a gluten and casein intolerance thru blood testing at the pediatrician. I don’t share a lot about his health or development online, but we were not surprised given that Eric has celiac disease and I am lactose intolerant and have IBS. He fits into the family quite well!
It is challenging to cook without dairy. I rely on lactose-free dairy, hard cheeses, or strained yogurt in my cooking, since I already cook mostly gluten-free due to Eric. It’s hard to do without both. On top of that I already dislike cooking when I’m pregnant. … Read More »
