Got some free tickets to the Gluten Free & Allergy Friendly Foods Show here in Denver, and it just so happened that my mom, who has celiac, was in town. So we grabbed our swag bags and ate our way through the show! Here were some of our standout favorites: RPS Gluten Free Linguini Pasta —...
Carrot Top Tabbouli (Grain-Free)
I’m in a hustle season right now. Several years ago, when I had a tiny baby and was lamenting the fact that some days my biggest accomplishment was getting us both clean and dressed, a mom a bit further along in the journy reassured me that this was just one season of life, and...
Ratatouille Crostini with Goat Cheese
I seriously considered calling this “Garden Ratatouille” because I have almost every single ingredient growing in my garden (I’m only missing shallots, garlic, and bay leaves). But whatever you call it, ratatouille just tastes like summer, and it’s a wonderful way to use up the abundance of summer veg you may have in your garden...
Adding Instead of Subtracting and Paleo Banana Muffins
I’ve mentioned on this blog before that I (Lacy) was diagnosed with an eating disorder when I started seeing a therapist last summer after the death of my father. From a purely scientific perspective, it’s been a fascinating process — looking at all my weird idiosyncrasies when it comes to food, discovering the strange...
Almonds: Oh, Yeah.
At Laughing Lemon Pie, we love almonds and almond products like almond butter, almond milk, and almond flour. Beyond their inherent deliciousness, this great infographic from Nuts.com justifies our almond adoration by pointing out the health benefits of almonds and almond products. We’ve found almond flour and almond butter to be a healthy alternative...
Stay In This Valentine’s Day: Surf ‘n Turf for Two
Valentine’s Day! It’s about showing the people you love how much you love them, getting impossible dinner reservations, booking a babysitter six months in advance, wearing uncomfortable “sexy” clothes, paying through the nose for a “prix fixe” menu, getting sideways glances from the waitstaff if you linger too long (because they’re worried about their...
Healthy Laughing Lemon Pie with NestFresh Eggs & Wholly Wholesome Crust
When I recently got the opportunity to review NestFresh eggs and Wholly Wholesome pie crusts at around the same time, I knew exactly what I wanted to make: Laughing Lemon Pie. But, being January and all, I am one of those trying to eat a bit healthier to balance out all those December indulgences. So...
Gluten-Free Cutie Cake Recipe
I’m on a big anti-food-waste kick lately. I heard a story on NPR recently about food waste that stated that as much of 1/3 of the food in this country goes to waste — and consumers are the biggest problem. Take, for example, the ubiquitous Cuties you can find at the grocery store this time...
Restaurant Report: Kokopelli Beer Company
When a new restaurant/brewery opened up this close to my house (under 5 miles!), you know I couldn’t wait to try it out. It’s in an unassuming little strip mall, but don’t let that put you off. Friendly atmosphere, good beer and pretty good pizza make this a fun hangout. I’ll definitely be back to...
Banana Almond Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies (GF, vegan)
Confession: I bought a beautiful bunch of yellow bananas, secretly hoping they’d go brown. You know you have a problem when you pack a banana as a ‘just in case’ snack, while simultaneously knowing full well that it’ll come home uneaten, bruised, and battered. Ah, Perfect! When the brown spots outnumber the yellow you...
