March Madness is a series of fun posts and giveaways I’m planning for March to celebrate my blog’s 1st birthday. Join the madness and stay tuned for more fun to come! I just cannot believe it. My little “side project” blog has been up and running for a year now and has helped me expand my boundaries and eat things I thought I would never be able to eat again when starting out […]
When it comes to the art of gluten-free baking, let’s just say that my skills and expertise are a little lacking. I heavily rely on prepackaged mixes and local bakeries to help me out when I’m craving baked goods and have avoided playing around with different ingredients and prep methods off-recipe. Although I’ve had them in my dorm pantry since August, my newfound confidence in the kitchen from winter break […]
In my journey into paleo-friendly baking, I’ve become comfortable with simple almond-flour based recipes with few ingredients. While these have been easy enough, my plunge into a super busy second semester had me dreaming of a paleo-friendly mix to streamline my frequent baking for breakfast and between-class snacks. Enter Simple Mills, a company passionate about clean, healthy baking that also happens to be allergen-friendly and as tasty as they are […]
Since I’ve been on a baking kick this winter break, I have been sampling an array of recipes and mixes. A quick shopping trip to Target introduced me to the colorfully packaged baking mixes from Immaculate Baking Company. Finding the simple ingredient list and promise of no artificial preservatives or flavors irresistible, I grabbed a box each of their double chocolate and chocolate chip cookie mixes and put them aside for those times when […]
Normally one to avoid sweets as I easily get debilitating sugar headaches when I eat too much, my recent surge of eating cookies, pies, and other treats this holiday season has rendered my sweet tooth a little out of control.

As much as I love reviewing and eating gluten-free baked goods, I have a new year’s confession to make: I am a unenthusiastic baker. Limited to waffles, pizza crusts (pre-made mixes) and the occasional batch of banana breakfast cookies, my baking expertise is minimal at best. Combined with my sky high expectations and limited patience, baking is an art I feel is best left to my favorite bakeries. Despite this, […]
Although Christmas is now behind us, there’s no denying the fact that this time of year is marked by the proliferation of cookies of all shapes and sizes. Normally one who does not seek out sweets, I have indulged myself over the past few weeks in Christmas cookies as a stress reliever for finals week and celebration that I made it through my first semester in college no worse for […]
The Fresh Market Soups Although my campus dining halls and quick service locations have gluten and dairy free options, there are some days I simply do not want to venture out due to inclement weather or when I’m feeling sick or exhausted. For these occasions, I try to keep some kind of soup always on hand for a quick, easy meal. Fresh Market’s soups are my go-to as they easily make for […]
