I did a little food prep this afternoon. After whipping up some Roasted Sweet Potato Salad and Indian Spiced Chicken, I turned my attention to these cute little guys. I like to call them raisin nut bites but the Pinterest crowd likes to call them paleo energy bites. So as a sell-out to good blog traffic, this is what I will call them. Our family doesn’t necessarily eat paleo, but…
As a dietitian with celiac disease, May is one of my favorite months. Not only do we get to shine a light with Celiac Awareness Month, but we also get to share just how good gluten-free food can taste!

I seem to be able to tolerate certified gluten-free oats in small amounts, but…
I’m over at Van’s Natural Food Blog today with 2 ideas for breakfast in a jar (one hot and one cold). Go check it out!
Eating food out of a mason jar seems to be quite the trend these days. When I saw this month’s Recipe ReDux theme of “Raising the Bar on Food in a Jar” I thought it would be the perfect time to try out a new spin on overnight oats. As someone who has very little time to eat in the morning, I prefer a quick grab-n-go breakfast. Overnight cereal is…
