I hope you had a great weekend! Our Easter celebration started on Saturday afternoon when we headed to church. After the 4:30 service, there was a massive egg hunt. They split the age groups into 4 and under and 5 and up. Leila was ready to go, bag in hand, eyes on the prize…and then they said, “Go!” She took two steps and froze in the middle of the commotion.…
The other day, I overheard a conversation between two parents. One said that they had to try a gluten-free diet for their son because of his health issues. The other parent replied with this statement: “Oh gluten-free is not even living! You can’t eat anything!” I kept quiet as a mere eavesdropper of their conversation, but I have had similar things said to me after starting my gluten-free diet. Usually…
Leila requested two things for her birthday yesterday. Fish tacos and pink strawberry cake. Fish tacos were the easy part. I have made them countless times and always use this recipe for marinating the fish. The trickier part was the strawberry cake. As you know, I’m not much of a baker.

I think Sunday night has unofficially become Frittata Night at our house. We always have a pile of veggies from our Bountiful Basket or recent farmer’s market visit to use, and it makes for an easy meal that everyone enjoys. This week’s version included purple potatoes, kale, onion and Applegate bacon. We ate most of it last night with some fresh fruit, and I ate the leftovers for breakfast this…
Ever since my celiac diagnosis last August, I have been planning a comeback race. After feeling weak and tired for so long, I couldn’t wait to start training for an event. Any kind of event that would show the return of my strength, the return back to normal. First I planned to do an Urbanathalon 5k in the fall, but my back went out. I thought I could at least…
I hope you had a great week! Ours was filled with fun. We finally made it out to the ballpark to visit Jeff at spring training. We made it out for a day game on Wednesday and a night game on Thursday. The weather was perfect, and we had fun catching up with friends that we missed during the offseason. Leila started a new ballerina class. It was her favorite…
