The 2019 Minnesota State Fair is here!! I was able to visit yesterday with my husband and we spent quite a bit of leisurely time just people watching, enjoying each other’s company, and eating! We ate a lot! We are so lucky that our fair has a ton of great gluten-free and even celiac-safe options….

The Ultimate Guide to Gluten-Free S’mores
Now that summer is in full swing, I know that these campfire favorites will be on our weekend dessert menu. And what goes better with summers and campfires than ooey gooey squishy marshmallows, melty chocolate, and crunchy graham crackers?

Does The Nima Sensor Really Work? YES!
Get ready for a long post… I have had some things on my mind lately. Specifically, I have seen some negativity surrounding the Nima Sensor and it makes me sad and, quite frankly, frustrated. I feel this way not because I believe what is being said about it, but because I don’t like seeing that people…

My First Whole30
I finished the Whole30!! Wow, I kind of can’t believe I did it! I didn’t do a full post about my 4th and final week (more like final 10 days) because it was SO boring and I really kind of struggled through. My meals felt really thrown together and uninspired. Here are links to my…
Whole30 Week 3
I’m still at it!! This week was much more tough for me, I’m not going to lie. I think I said that last week, too. It was definitely the sick kids that did me in this week! And then I got sick! I’ve been stuck in the house for like 5 days and I’m starting…
Whole30 Week 2
Still going strong on Whole30! I have really surprised myself on this. I cannot believe I’ve gone 2 whole weeks without any chocolate! All I really want is a tiny little Enjoy Life chocolate bar (we have four “fun size” bags in our chest freezer leftover from Halloween and I have to look at them…
Whole30 Week 1
What did I get myself into? I don’t really know, but so far I’m kinda diggin’ it! One afternoon at about 4:00, I decided I was going to do the Whole30…and start the next day!! I’m currently on day 11 and feeling like I can maybe do this thing! I’m going to do a weekly post…
