food is a common love for every member in my home. making a healthy scrumptious meal for my family to enjoy is a way to show my love.

last year I discovered my daughter and I were allergic to some food. she was having trouble potty training so I put us on an elimination diet and her troubles cleared up. at that point it felt like we both had reactions to soy, refined sugar, dairy, wheat and fish. being a vegetarian already, the list of food to consume dropped dramatically. through research and much trial and error I came to learn wheat is in EVERYTHING! and soy! about 6 months ago my daughter and I went to an allergist and he confirmed we were both allergic to wheat and cantaloupe. since then we eat little of the things we have reactions to and no wheat.

all recipes are simple and relatively fast. we have 4 people in our family so most will feed four. everything posted is wheat free, little dairy and soy. I am currently putting together a cookbook that will be simple, wheat free and almost vegan (I eat honey).

shriek juice


in january my goal was to have more energy throughout the day. to do this I listed things I would need to change and they included: getting to bed earlier, quitting coffee, taking naps, drinking half my weight in water and eating breakfast – next to quitting coffee making time for breakfast is the hardest one to do. breakfast and dinner are the most hectic in our home, especially when my husband leaves for a week once a month. I feed the kids no problem but when it comes to me it slips my mind and the next thing I know its nap time and all I had all day was water. thinking a shake would work but wanting to keep the ingredients simple I came up with this for the am grind. since I have been drinking this I have felt more alive in the am, even when I don’t get to bed early (btw I haven’t taken a nap yet, its just not in the cards for me).

1/2c frozen organic spinach
1/2c frozen pineapple
1 sm banana
1c non-dairy milk (I use coconut milk).
place all ingredients into blender in the order they are listed and blend. start on low working your way up to high. leave it at high until you no longer see specks of spinach. this will give it a smooth texture everyone will love and no one will walk around with spinach in their teeth.
* this is one serving.
