I have to pack all kinds of food and snacks for even the smallest outing for us because we have food allergies. Additionally we try to eliminate sugar, carbs, and additives to our food as much as humanly possible.

With these swaps I can show you everything we have replaced in our pantry to get us toward a more healthy non toxic lifestyle. Please check labels carefully to ensure products are right for your family.

My favorite local restaurants to eat in Southwest Florida sure to satisfy your cravings!

Ever since getting diagnosed with celiac, my relationship with food has been so low. All the things I used to love to eat I just can’t anymore. It really does suck, but I’ve tried MANY alternatives, and these are the ones that are lowkey good enough to replace the real thing!

Grabbed most of these before our last cross-country drive and the backseat actually looked human when we arrived.

I’m widowed, and my daughter is grown, but I still love to cook and want my meals to be not only tasty but also aesthetically pleasing. However, after becoming an empty nester, I found it increasingly challenging to prepare appetizing meals in smaller portions. When I searched for ways to prepare meals for myself, I was disappointed to find that many of the recipes on the web were quite tasteless, and inaccurately documented recipes were abundant as well. Determined to create a repertoire of individually portioned meals that were easy to prepare and appetizing, I set out to do so. This list includes recipes that I have tried and found to be delicious, as well as other ideas, tools, and small appliances that contribute to making a table for one easier, tasteful, and more beautiful.

Every Saturday was the same — I'd fire up the grill, slap on whatever store-bought sauce was in the fridge, and wonder why nothing tasted like actual barbecue. Spent two years hunting down small batch sauces from real pitmasters and craft makers, and now my neighbors literally show up uninvited when they smell the smoke. If you're tired of that generic ketchup-with-liquid-smoke flavor, this lineup took me dozens of orders to narrow down so you don't have to.

Spent my first three days in Turkey eating random baklava from tourist traps and wondering why everyone raves about Turkish sweets — turns out I was doing it completely wrong. This is the list I wish someone had handed me at the airport, especially if you're planning your first trip and don't want to waste a single bite on mediocre stuff.

I don't know about you, but I want to be healthy in a way that still lets me have yummy food. You know what I mean. No tofu, no kale, no beets, nothing that grosses me out!

NOTE: I am NOT a dietician. I make a good effort to find things that are healthy but I don't go nuts about numbers, calories, and so on.

If you've ever dragged a dull pizza cutter back and forth, mangling toppings and tearing cheese into a sad mess, this list exists because of you. I spent way too many Friday nights sawing at homemade pizza like it owed me money. These are the tools that actually cut clean on the first roll, and they work just as well on deep dish as thin crust. For anyone who makes pizza at home more than twice a month, grab these before your next pizza night.

Yummy food in the 757. Chesapeake, Norfolk and VA Beach restaurants.

Every birthday cake I made looked like a kindergartner frosted it — lopsided, lumpy, buttercream fingerprints everywhere. I spent two years blaming my skills before realizing my tools were the problem. This is everything I use now, from the turntable that changed my whole approach to the offset spatula that made me feel like I knew what I was doing. If you frost cakes at home and keep wondering why yours never look like the tutorial, start here before you waste another tub of frosting.

Boston is known for sports and food and within food, everyone knows that the lobstah roll is a classic. Alongside those come the oysters and cannoli's of course.

Every afternoon was the same scramble. Kids screaming for snacks, me hacking at apples with a dull knife, peanut butter everywhere, carrot sticks that looked like they survived a blender. I finally stopped winging it and found tools that make snack prep take five minutes flat. If you're a parent who wants to stop reaching for packaged junk but barely has time to breathe, scroll through before the school year gets any crazier.

If you know me, I have atleast three beverages going at one time.
