Sweet Almond Milk (Dairy-free, Gluten-free)
One of the first differences we noticed when we arrived in Argentina is that people eat differently than we do at home. Granted, that's not hard to accomplish because our family eats differently than most everyone anyway, but I did...
Puffed Quinoa Granola Bars (Gluten-free, Dairy-free, Egg-free)
We’ve been making these around here for the past week. They have a similar texture to store bought granola bars which my son really likes. He ate them like crazy the first day we made them, but like most things in the food department, he’s tired of it after a day…more...
Butternut Squash Hash Browns (Gluten-free, Dairy-free, Egg-free)
Spring is here (sort of) and I'm posting about squash, a winter vegetable. I guess this just goes to show you how slow things are moving around here with two kids. I've had this recipe sitting on my computer for a few months now. Better late than never I say, and...
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...
Grandma Jane’s Granola
We've been getting a little lazy in the breakfast department lately. I can't say I blame us. We have a new infant in the house and nighttime sleep isn't what it used to be. Also, Kula Baby didn't get the memo about going easy on his parents and continues to get up...
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...
Eczema, Ear Infections, Congestion and MORE: Food Sensitivities Uncovered.
Eczema, Ear Infections, Congestion and MORE: Food Sensitivities Uncovered. Last night I received a call from a family friend worried about her 15 month old toddler, Stella. Stella has suffered from chronic ear infections for many months. Multiple rounds of...
Sweet Potato with Greens
When all else fails, I go to the sweet potato because Kula Baby always loves them. This is a great recipe for the young babies out there. For older children, this recipe makes a great side dish. Spinach adds the green, while avocado adds a healthy omega-6 fat. And...
Coconut Yogurt Breakfast
This is one of my baby's favorite breakfast recipes. Coconut Yogurt Breakfast 1/4 cup coconut milk yogurt (you can buy this at the store or <a href="http://www.floandgrace.com/2011104dairy-free-coconut-milk-yogurt-recipe-html/" target="_blank"...
Make-Your-Own Quinoa Salad
Quinoa is a staple in our house. It's high in protein and takes less than 20 minutes to make--a mother's dream. We use it as a breakfast cereal in the morning and in place of rice at dinner. Yeah, we sound like quinoa addicts and I'm not ashamed to admit it 🙂 I...
Quick and Easy Broccoli Soup (Gluten-free)
It seems odd to post a broccoli soup recipe in the middle of summer, but I hear it's pretty cold in Seattle these days so this one is for all you mamas turning the heat on at night 🙂 We had a head of broccoli that NEEDED to be used tonight so I decided to whip up a...
Brain-Building Trail Mix (Gluten-free)
We are preparing for a big trip to Disneyland soon so I've been busy in the kitchen preparing lots of healthy snacks to take with us. I figure it's my job to try to balance all the crap we are sure to eat at the park with some healthy snack options. I haven't been...
Energy Bites (Dairy-free, Gluten-free)
Our pantry has been bare the last couple of weeks. Kula Baby's been surviving on rice bread and almond butter at snack time because I've been too lazy to whip up something better. The problem is he always eats rice bread and almond butter so he really doesn'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,...
Chicken Croquettes (Gluten-free, Dairy-free)
If there is one thing that really gets me fired up, it's paying for overpriced organic "kid" food when I know I can make it myself. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for the convenience of pre-made food when I'm in a bind. We keep our freezer stocked with a few options...
Keeping Kids Healthy: Immune Boosting Tips for Kids
We all want our kids to stay healthy throughout the year, right? It's no fun to have a sick kid at home so anything we can do to avoid illness is a good thing. So what can we do to keep our kids virus-free? Turns out that there is a lot you can do from home. Optimal...
Simple Hummus (Gluten-free, Dairy-free)
I am a hummus addict. For real. Not a day goes by that I don't dip a veggie or spread a cracker with this delectable treat. Early in Kula Baby's culinary adventures, I learned to use hummus as a protein source for any snack involving his beloved cracker. For a...
