Edited Kitchen: Gluten-Free and Paleo Snack Round-Up
Oh, snacks. It seems that people are either pro-snack or anti-snack these days, and I’d like to add a middle-of-the-road opinion here. Because the truth is, life is CRAZY and sometimes you want a little pick-me-up when 3:00 PM hits during a busy day. Should you snack every day? Probably not. Can excessive snacking become […]
Edited Restaurants: Gluten-Free Disneyland Round-Up
As a bit of a departure from my typical recipes and organization beat, I want to talk about something serious, something important, and something essential to your health: What to eat at Disneyland if you’re gluten-free. All kidding aside, eating out and finding healthy options wherever you go is a huge part of an “edited” […]
Easy Spice Shelf DIY
I’m not overstating it when I say this Easy Spice Shelf DIY was an organizational dream come true for me. I’d been stacking my spices in an awkward corner of my kitchen for a while and had been searching stores and websites looking for a storage solution. Spoiler alert: I came up short with every rack […]
Editing Your Kitchen: 10 Food-Saving Hacks
I’m pretty confident that I belong in another generation. I like old music, traditional values, and my design sense leans more towards early 20th century art deco than millennial minimalism. And when it comes to food storage and saving? Well, I’m just your average depression-era grandmother. Haste makes waste, you know. In all seriousness, I […]
Small-Step Meal Prep: Curry and Apple Tuna Salad
I hesitate to use the term meal prep again, because the strategies I use might make the hardcore “meal prepper” roll their eyes at me. But, I think adopting a “small-step meal prep” philosophy is a great way to make your week and meal planning a little bit easier. Today, I want to talk about […]
Editing Your Kitchen: Weekly Fridge Inventory
When it comes to healthy food storage strategies, some people swear by meal prep. Others are all about stocking up and freezing certain foods. For me, I’m a huge advocate of taking a Weekly Fridge Inventory. And it’s not nearly as complicated or time-consuming as you might think. In general, editing your kitchen and maintaining an […]
Shortcut Gluten-Free Brownies w/ Raspberry Compote
Confession: Sometimes I just want a good old-fashioned brownie…that tastes like a good old-fashioned brownie (and also happens to be gluten free). That’s not too much to ask, is it? Enter these Shortcut Gluten-Free Brownies with Raspberry Compote, made with Namaste Foods’ Organic Dark Chocolate Brownie Mix. They’re incredibly chocolatey, gluten-free, and over-the-top indulgent. I wholeheartedly […]
Small-Step Meal Prep & Make-Ahead Baked Eggs
For this latest installment in Editing Your Kitchen, I’d like to tackle a topic that is a huge help in getting organized for the week: Small-Step Meal Prep. And the keyword here is “small step.” My philosophy on meal prep and organization (as with most things) is to start small and keep it simple. As the old […]
Editing Your Kitchen: Pantry Organization 101
Lesson #2 in editing your kitchen: pantry organization. As I’ve mentioned before, “editing” your kitchen really lays the groundwork for a healthy lifestyle and making better eating and cooking choices. But it’s often difficult to walk into your kitchen and just start organizing from scratch. In my previous post on organization, Editing Your Kitchen: Pantry Cleanup, I […]
