Homemade Fruit Snacks (Gluten-free, Dairy-free)
I have been working on this recipe for WEEKS. My kids have always loved the idea of fruit snacks, but the store bought varieties are so full of artificial colors and sweeteners that I never buy them. I love portable homemade snacks for kids so when I bought my first...
Are you Cooking With Safe Oils in the Kitchen?
Whipping up a recipe in the kitchen isn’t as simple as it used to be when it comes to the oils we use for cooking. You might find yourself wondering if you should use your new bottle of cold-pressed olive oil to stir fry vegetables, or not? Current nutrition...
6 Ingredient Popcorn Chicken (Gluten-free)
Despite my good intentions, there are nights I forget to plan anything for dinner. It happens. On those days I find myself rummaging around in the fridge at 4pm when the kids are cranky and it suddenly occurs to me that I have no idea what to feed them for dinner. Oh,...
Choose Your Own Adventure: PALEO PANCAKES (Gluten-free, Dairy-free, Paleo-friendly)
Breakfast is a big deal in our house for a few reasons. First, my kids are usually very hungry in the morning when they wake up so it's important I'm prepared to fill those empty tummies quickly. And second, just like your grandma told you, breakfast is the most...
Simple Mineral Broth
I don't know about you, but I'm ready for cold and flu season to end. With a new baby in the house we've really tried to be careful around here. I've trained Kula Baby to wash his hands so many times a day... I might be unknowingly raising a mini Howard Hughes! For...
Chicken and Dumplings (Gluten-free)
A few months ago my friend Suzanne brought us chicken and dumplings for dinner. Our daughter was only a few weeks old, we were in the midst of diaper changes and around the clock "naps" in place of solid sleep. If ever there was a time we needed a hug, it was during...
Protein Cookies (Gluten-free, Dairy-free)
Where oh where has Kula Mama gone??? Well... Kula Baby is now a big brother! We welcomed his little sister about 6 weeks ago. I've re-entered the world of frequent feedings, diapers changes, swaddling, and cat napping to salvage some semblance of sanity. I don't...
Veggie Lo Mein
I've been playing the role of a single parent the past few nights while my husband racks up frequent flier miles for work. He rests his head each night in a Weston Heavenly Bed, while I try to hold down the fort with a 2 and 1/2 year old who constantly wonders WHY,...
Kale Chips
Kale Chips! (Don't be scared.) This is such an easy, nutritious snack...I want to thank my friend Suzanne for reminding me about them on her website last month. Kula Baby and I made them together awhile ago and then promptly forgot about these yummy chips. Do you...
Super Secret Pesto Lasagna (Gluten-free)
It's no secret that I like to cook. Cooking is one of my favorite creative outlets (and creating dirty dishes is lots of fun too). Sounds funny I know...what's creative about chopping vegetables night after night? Well sometimes, when I'm feeling extra sassy,... I...
Brain-building Maple Pancakes (Gluten-free)
Let's be honest with each other here. We all love pancakes, don't we? I've yet to meet someone to pass on Sunday brunch pancakes which leads me to believe my son is not alone in his love of all things panCAKE-like. Seriously, if I call something a pancake and make...
Black Bean Tostada (Gluten-free)
There isn't anything better than a crispy tortilla, chip, or cracker as far as my son is concerned. So, instead of fighting his crispy obsession I've decided to start working with him in this area. Hence tonight's Black Bean Tostada creation. This recipe took me...
No Eggs? No Problem! Baking Substitutions for the Holidays.
The holidays are approaching???? The HOLIDAYS are approaching! Time to make sure your children don't go stone cold crazy on cookies and candy at Grandma's house. I'm not sure where kids pick up their love of all things sweet, but it seems to be wired into them at...
Cooking up a Food Revolution.
Photo: Really Short I recently watched Jamie Oliver’s speech at the TED Conference. After receiving one of the 2010 TED prizes, he asked the audience to support his wish: “I wish for your help to create a strong, sustainable movement to educate every child about...
Food Fights: How to Feed a Picky Toddler.
It’s ironic that Kula Baby is becoming a picky eater when I spend so much time focusing on healthy nutrition for children. And look at his cute face, can you believe that kid is giving me a little trouble in the kitchen? As I sat at my girlfriend’s house last...
pH Balanced: Why Acid/Alkaline Balance Keeps Kids Healthy
School has started! Does that mean it's runny nose season yet? We're only on day 3 of school around here and so far everyone is healthy, however, I'm ready if and when the first cold hits. I use a variety of means to get my kids back to health when they are sick--our...
Questioning SOY.
Questioning SOY. I can't tell you how many people ask me about soy. I should start a 1-800-soy hotline for the number of times I get asked to explain the mystery surrounding the soybean. Should you give soy milk to your daughter as a substitute for milk? Should you...
