I wanted to do a small post today about these unforgettable gluten and dairy free Oatmeal Raisin Cookies. Made by Alyssa’s Bakery, I impulsively bought these from a gelato shop called Paciugo in Houston. FYI, Paciugo has amazingly delicious soy based or water based dairy free sorbet. My favorite flavors are the Soy Panna Cotta (wedding cake),… Continue reading The Best Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

It used to serve as a good probiotic for me because I am pretty bad at keeping up with taking pills. Green Valley is awesome because… Continue reading The Best Dairy Free Yogurt
Udi’s gluten free pizza crust (found in Whole Foods in the frozen section) is the epitome of one of my most significant blog staples: only share gluten-free foods that could fool you into thinking they aren’t. That includes no gluten-free products that secretly contain cardboard as it’s main ingredient. To those companies, why try to point out our differences… Continue reading Margherita Pizza
The best of both breakfast worlds: salty & sweet. For those of you who make your own breakfast, do you ever fall in love with one thing and make it until you’re tired of it? I do too.

This basil pesto pasta salad is the best thing I could come up with to combat this insanely humid Texas heat. It is absolutely unbearable.
