Recipes & Meal Ideas

I don't like calling everything I cook a "recipe". The word recipe has too many gourmet associations and expectations that come with it. So, I named this page Recipes & Meal Ideas instead. 

The food I cook for our family is usually no-fuss, easy and (most times) healthy. I'm always looking for new meal ideas that are safe for Little Guy and that our family will love.  I hope you find a few meal ideas here that will work for you and your family!

All recipes and meal ideas on this page are free of:

• Peanut
• Dairy (cow's milk protein - milk, butter, etc.)
• Gluten and wheat (some now have wheat since Little Guy grew out of his wheat allergy but can be adapted as gluten free)
• Egg
• Sesame

I have found these recipes to work for my family. Of course, please read labels every time and make sure the food you cook and eat are safe for your family.
