You can’t ask for a better gluten-free bread to go with your favorite winter soup, like my warming chicken turmeric soup with cabbage, or our […]

If you’ve followed me for a while, you probably already know how I feel about school birthday treats and sugar (not to mention kids’ sports snacks!). It means a lot to my kids when I volunteer in their classrooms, and as a former teacher myself (now running a cooking class for kids online), I know

This recipe for healthy granola bars was one of the first favorites here at KS wayyyyyy back in 2009, and I’ve since improved it quite a bit since then as I republished Healthy Snacks to Go – no coincidence that it’s one of the most popular eBooks here! Scroll to the end of the post for
School is right around the corner (I said it…don’t throw tomatoes). Depending on where you live it could be a month, a couple weeks or even days away! Of course that means school lunches are coming too. When you have to manage food allergies, your choices are limited. No more pb&j. No crackers and cheese.

What kid doesn’t like mashed potatoes? It’s a favorite at our house even if I don’t have gravy, but I’m always looking for ways to reduce the starchy foods and incorporate more low-carb, nutrient-dense veggies onto our plates.

I took our Instant Pot camping for the first time this month, and it was a huge success! I’ve used the Instant Pot (an electric pressure cooker) before for many things, although I still think I might only know the tip of the iceberg as far as its potential (I’m a stuck-in-a-rut kind of gal

It’s the kind of comfort food you pine for when it’s gray and cloudy outside. There’s not too much heat to make you want to avoid using the oven. And mashed potatoes on the side sound just right. In other words, it’s fair to say that when it’s cloudy, there’s always a chance of… You

Visiting a Disney park may be the “happiest place on earth,” but feeding a family while you’re there can bring you down in a hurry. For frugal, real food mamas, being stuck in a theme park with access only to processed foods at uber premium prices is like an alternate reality. When you’re used to
When you’re on a Whole30, you eat a lot of meat. Veggies too, TONS of veggies, which I love, but also definitely a lot of meat, because there’s no rice or bread to stretch the meal! Shredded chicken recipes like this one are a mainstay. It also works well with a Keto or Paleo approach.
Every parent wants their kids to be good eaters, right? No complaining. No throwing food. No refusing to eat vegetables. It’s a reasonable desire. Of course most kids do go through phases of eating more or less, phases of liking and refusing certain foods, phases of wanting to make their own food choices and willingly

I left my Instant Pot in the box for at least 6 months, but not for the reasons everyone else does. The Instant Pot is an electric pressure cooker, and I’ve seen other people talk online about how they let theirs sit unopened because they were afraid of it exploding. Me, I’m just too busy

When is a cake not a cake? I don’t know the real answer to what surely sounds like an 8-year-old boy’s favorite joke, but my answer is this: When it doesn’t have any flour or sugar. Flour and sugar – often more sugar than flour – define the art of baking a cake. As much

Spicy, crispy, and HOT, in all imaginable ways. I created these homemade buffalo potato wedges when my husband was on a restrictive diet – no grains, legumes, dairy or sweeteners – but still wanted to have a little “fun food” for a Super Bowl party. He loves spicy stuff and went completely head over heels

I’m a pretty big fan of healthy desserts. I know, I know. That may seem like an oxymoron. How can healthy and dessert even be friends in the same sentence?! After all, it IS January: that month where EVERYONE talks about dieting and ditching sweets. But as you’ve come to expect from Kitchen Stewardship®, we’re
Christmas is filled with traditions. Each family creates their own and passes them on to the next generation. One of the traditions that my mom passed on to me is baking Christmas treats. I could sit and watch her bake for hours. I was fascinated by it (and now thirty years later write about my
