I was diagnosed with celiac disease (officially) in 2022. As a very picky eater, it was very difficult to transition to gluten free. Throughout the years, I've found some really good gluten free items that I always have in our pantry. These are food items that might not be as common or maybe some food items you have seen but haven't tried. A lot of these I have found once I moved to Texas and can be found at Walmart, Target, Amazon, H-E-B, Sprouts, or United Supermarkets.
If you love coffee like I do, then you've come to the right place. I think I have tried every coffee pot/machine known to man. These are my favorites & the accessories to go with!

And … I'm a weekend “Dunkie Junkie” at my favorite local Dunkin Donuts coffee shop when I'm short on time and longing for my caffeinated fix to start the day. (But, I'm trying to overcome this and DIY it more at home). If you know of a product that should be on this list, give me a shout and I'll check it out! ☕ Ready to upgrade your daily brew without overspending?

Beignets aren't only for New Orleans. Might be surprising to some, but Colorado has multiple amazing restaurants that serve beignets! The first time ever had one was a truly life changing experience. A mix between a donut & a funnel cake, you really can't go wrong!
When my son was diagnosed with a cow milk protein intolerance at three months old, I had a huge and fast dietary change. I started to have to read all the labels of everything. From chips, to cookies, to pancakes, even bread crumbs. These are some of my new staples in my house. Some that will stay well beyond when we can have dairy again.
Because even if the house is a mess and I’m exhausted, kids, husband, and every passerby who shows up at my door needs fed and watered- not just the animals.
Some of these have healthy ingredients and some won't; mental health is part of whole health and these goodies bring me a moment of happiness so technically, it's all healthy 😇.

I had never heard of an ingredient household until recently and as it turns out, I'm definitely an ingredient household. I have learned to love cooking and have always loved baking.

Here I am sharing what I always keep on hand to have quick and easy meals made from scratch!

I find it hard to juggle being a wife, content creator, dog mom, friend, etc. most days, which makes it absolutely imperative for me to have quick things to grab from the fridge or freezer when I don't have time to cook a full, proper meal, or meal plan at the beginning of the week. Some of these items are more complete meals, but oftentimes, I find myself combining 2-3 of these items that each take very little time to prepare, to make myself a nice #girllunch or #girldinner that satisfies all the major food groups. I'm also throwing in some of my favorite snacks if you need an afternoon pick-me-up!

You'll actually notice you feel better when you drink coffee that's been roasted more recently than ones that have been sitting on the shelf. To tell the difference, fresh roasted coffee has a 'roasted on' date and other coffee has an 'expired date'. The fresher, the more caffeine content and better the bean. The lighter the roast, the more coffee. I usually do light or medium roasts, maybe breakfast roasts.
As a person who hosts parties, I know what a lovely surprise a good host gift can be. I named this list "don't come empty handed" because that's what my mom always told me about going to parties.

Matcha isn’t just a drink - it’s a ritual. And rituals deserve tools.
My bamboo whisk has been in hotel rooms, Airbnbs, and airport lounges.
My frother has made matcha at 6am before flights and at midnight after soul-days in new cities.
These aren’t gadgets, they’re grounding anchors.
A whisk, a cup, a travel jar… tiny objects that whisper:
you are safe, you can slow down, you have a home inside your ritual.
