Brownies are their own language, aren’t they? I’ve yet to meet a person who didn’t have a preference or strong opinion on brownies. Some people’s opinions are so intense that you’d be better off slicing the brownies with a machete so you’d have protection if needed.
There’s a fruit farm about 20 minutes from our house that I love. You can either walk into the rambling old barn and pick up a pound, a 5 pound bag or a whole bushel of apples, or… you can go pick them yourself. I’ve never had the opportunity (or the time) to pick my [...]

Today is the 5th annual Celiac Awareness Day.
I might be new to this Celiac thing, but dang it… I’ve learned a lot about myself in the last month and half and I want to share it with you so you can understand more about this [...]
My brother is gearing up to deploy again. If he’s CONUS during the summer, he’ll be homeward bound. Nothing can keep the man from spending time in his beloved Midwest. Rumor has it, as soon as his plane landed he was headed to Gates BBQ to start his five day tour of BBQ. There’s a [...]
Soon after my diagnosis I found myself with a bunch of over-ripe bananas. Normally I’d make a banana bread, but I wasn’t feeling sure-footed enough to jump on the bread bandwagon yet, regardless if it was a quick bread.
Head over to Wives of Faith to read the entry to this recipe.
Military families don’t really get to spend a ton of time with their families, but I must admit, we do it up right when we are together. My brother flies in today to meet up with his wife (my beautiful sister-in-law) and nephew who have been here on vacation for a few weeks visiting all [...]
My heart races as I sit here in attendance at the monthly Kansas City CSA meeting, sweat forms on my brow and tears spring to my eyes.
New members are introduced. I suddenly feel like I’m at an AA meeting, ‘Hi. My name is ___. I was diagnosed ____.’
I’m beginning to realize just how tough it is for people with Celiac to survive in this country with all of the glutens hidden in items you’d never imagine. Still on my campaign to make healthy, delicious food for my mom, who is blessed to live gluten free, I’ve started to slowly adapt recipes to make [...]
In my eternal effort to take comfort food and make it figure friendly I rejoiced when I saw this recipe for Stroganoff Sauce that was filled with vegetables. I know it’s not exactly tofu and bean sprouts healthy… but it’s pretty good in making a generally fatty dinner into something less guilty.

As a proud Air Force wife I live my life supporting a "mission first" mentality. Take an inside look at my life inside the silent ranks, the ups and downs of loving a military man and putting our country first. Plus... come along for a sneak peek as the camouflage comes off and I share my love of healthy cooking, photography and kicking butt at Kick-boxing.
