Coconut Milk Ice Cream (Paleo, gluten-free, dairy-free) Both of my kids have sensitivities to cows' milk so I try to avoid dairy products when convenient, which is... almost never. Milk is in pretty much everything. Especially ice cream. I'm not interested in paying $4-6/carton for a dairy-free treat, but I still wanted to create something for the munchkins while my husband and I had the real deal. While rambling about this major life dilemma to a friend one day, she scribbled down this simple recipe for Paleo coconut milk "ice cream" on a piece of paper and sent me on my way. Since then, I've simplified it even further and made it dozens of times. Keep Reading

Gluten-Free Chocolate Zucchini Bread
Gluten-Free Chocolate Zucchini Bread Our family doesn't follow a gluten-free diet, but we have plenty of friends who do. Because of this, I have an assortment of gluten-free baking products in my pantry. The only problem is, it never seems to be the perfect combination for whatever recipe I decide to make. I'm always missing some random ingredient like xanthan gum or potato starch. FoodDay ran this recipe for gluten-free chocolate zucchini bread from Portland's own Back to Eden Bakery in March. I almost skipped it because zucchini isn't on my radar in the spring, but one thing caught my eye. It only calls for one gluten-free specific item! Keep Reading
3 Things to Remember When Being Frugal Isn’t Easy
Despite the fact that I write for a blog all about frugal living, I have a confession: Being frugal doesn't always come easily for me. My husband re-uses plastic bags, turns down thermostats, drinks water, calculates gas mileage, delays purchases, takes quick showers, and wears his shoes until they are literally falling apart. Pinching pennies is second nature to him. Me? Not so much. Sure, I like to dig in the dirt and bake my own bread and paint my own walls. But I also like good Americanos and REI catalogs and hot showers. Because I love my husband and hate debt, I made the decision to embrace the frugal lifestyle over 10 years ago. I'm Keep Reading
Carrot cake baked oatmeal (gluten-free, dairy-free recipe)
Carrot Cake Baked Oatmeal Because I know you need something exciting, today we're talking about carrots and oatmeal! Buckle up. Now, I'm not a licensed counselor or anything, but I think there's something to be said for being stuck in a rut. I mean, I wouldn't recommend it for one's career or relationships. But breakfast? I live in Rutsville, where the local diner serves eggs + toast or yogurt + granola every single morning. And I really like it that way. If something unexpected like French Toast happens, I'll eat my standard breakfast for lunch. If the whole family wants muffins, we do muffins, but the whole time I feel like I'm skipping out Keep Reading
Summer Break Survival: Summer Activity Bags
Last week I talked about the importance of setting up systems and routines for you and your kids so your summer can run smoothly. The next step in this "getting ready for summer" process for me is to get all of my summer bags organized. Stop for a second. You should know by now that I am the anti-planner. I love all things spontaneous -- it's my favorite thing in the world to do a crazy, spur-of-the-moment activity with friends and my kids. But I do know that anything spontaneous with five kids requires some level of readiness or else we end up taking two hours to "get ready" to jump in the car for our fly-by-the-seat-of-our-pants Keep Reading
Monster Cookie recipe (Peanut butter, chocolate, and oatmeal)
Monster Cookie Recipe I love this recipe. It combines the three amigos: oats, chocolate, and peanut butter. Monster Cookies! I have no idea why they are called Monster Cookies, so feel free to slap a more festive title on them before delivering a plate to your neighbors. This recipe doesn't contain any flour so the ingredients mix together quickly to create a thick, chewy cookie. If you are on a gluten-free diet, use GF oats and you are good to go! The trademark of Monster Cookies are M & M's. I use them around holidays for a fun, colorful treat, but the rest of the year I just use (and actually prefer) chocolate chips. Seriously, I Keep Reading
