The CDC released new stats for austism just last week. Austism now affects 1 in 88 children and is five times more common in boys than girls. That is a 78 percent increase since 2002. Is anyone in your life touched by autism? I have several friends with children on...
My Blog
I don’t have a lot of time to write, but when I do find time and I feel it’s shareable, or when I just want to sound off, destress or get my thoughs out, this is where you’ll find it. This is my space to say what I want without interruption. Everyone needs a little of that.

Yummy Burrito Pie!
Photo by: Tasteofhome.com Having three kids in sports now, I'm finding myself busier and busier. I have many friends that are often posting on Facebook about "freezer cooking" or "once a month cooking", so I figured why not give it a try. I'm getting a little tired of...
Cure ADD, ADHD and Depression by eliminating gluten?
Sure! I read this article, Recover from ADD, ADHD and depression without drugs, on Natural News by Allison Biggar today and I have to say I completely agree! Going gluten free has done wonders for me in so many ways. I was just commenting to a friend of mine recently...
Why are Twinkies cheaper than Carrots?
It saddens me that it cost so much to have a healthy diet in this country. We do the best we can and I still feel we have too much "junk" food, but we can only afford so much. Add in a food allergy and the cost skyrockets. Wouldn't it be nice if there was some...
Corn and Agent Orange?
Why do we even have to think about stuff like this?! What happened to just letting nature be. I just don't understand why we need GMO'd anything. Oh yeah, that evil little thing called money. I like reading Natural News, but I also know that things are often blown out...
Gluten Free Sugar Cookies
These are good. I'm not a sugar cookie person, give me some chocolate, but I can not stay away from these. I always hesitate when it comes to gluten free baking, you just never know what you're going to get. I've tried things before that people rave about that tastes...
Gluten Free Chicken and Dumplings
Mmmm. Here is a simple recipe for making gluten free Chicken and Dumplings using gluten free pizza crust for the dumpling portion. Now, I remember in the past making Chicken and Dumplings in the crockpot using flour tortillas for the dumplings. It was pretty good and...
Traveling Gluten Free
I love vacations. Taking a break, not worrying about the day to day stuff, just focusing on fun. Then comes meal times. For most families, it's no big deal, but for those with allergies, meal times out of town become nightmares. At home, I know my local restaurants, I...
My crazy life!
When I wrote this blog post, back in June, about in.gredients, I never imagined that I'd be moving to Austin, nevermind by Thanksgiving! But, that's how life goes, bad things happen and good things come of it. We took a two week vacation to Texas (there's a half...
