Recipe:: Stay Hydrated with Fruit Flavored Water
Homemade Fruit Flavored Water: I love flavored water but I don’t like the added sugars or sweeteners that you find in the store, so I just make my own. It’s very easy. Just gather some fruit and some herbs and you’re ready to go. For this water I made an all Citrus, (no herbs) mixture. It’s a great picker-upper for those coming warm summer days. If your kids are used to sugary drinks, they probably won’t take to it at first, but give them some time and they will come to love the sweet natural flavors without the extra sugar. Ingredients: fruit –2 cups of whichever fruit…

Gluten Free Frozen Yogurt Fruit Bites
I love to have fun snacks for my kids that are healthy as well as tasty. I also look for snacks that are easy to make. Since I eat gluten free, I try to find snacks that will work for me as well as for my kids. For this snack, I cut up some fruit and dipped the small bites size pieces in Greek Yogurt. I used honey flavored, but you can use vanilla, or plain yogurt too. Greek Yogurt is a little thicker, so I find that it works betters than regular yogurt. After the fruit pieces are dipped in the yogurt, place them on parchment paper and put…

Festive Meringue Cookies
Last week I needed a gluten-free cookie for a Christmas party. I wanted a cookie that was easy and fast to whip up, but I also wanted something that looked fun, festive, and pretty. I came across a recipe in my files that I had made for my daughter’s wedding. I remembered that is was indeed easy, and it turned out so pretty. I made the cookie in yellow for the wedding, but I figured that it wouldn’t be hard at all to make it white or red for Christmas. As a matter of fact, you could make this cookie any color you wish, and you can make a variety of shapes…

Salt Lake City For The Holidays
I love to travel and see the world, but I have found some wonderful things to do and see right in my own back yard. Utah has been my home for many years now, and even though I have moved away a few times, I always seem to find my way back. Salt Lake City has something to offer everyone. It’s a beautiful city that sits right up against the Rocky Mountains, offering fun dining, shopping areas, dance, music and theater, museums, indoor and outdoor sports, and of course, the great outdoors. If you love being outside, then this is an awesome place to find yourself. This city is a great…

We love maple syrup and we even make our own yummy vanilla syrup, but I must say that this buttermilk syrup is my new favorite!

Gluten Free Graham Crackers
I found this yummy recipe for gluten-free graham crackers on the website for Jules Gluten Free Flour. You can either make your own graham crackers from scratch, or Jules has made it easy for you to buy her gluten-free graham cracker mix. You just have to add a few ingredients to the dry mixture. Graham crackers are easy to make and taste yummy by themselves, but I am excited to use these gluten-free graham crackers as a crust in a few pies for the holidays. –Note: I didn’t get as many graham crackers out of my batch as the recipe claims, but it was still plenty. I also didn’t take…
