Frequently Asked Questions

Not at all! Everything I make happens to be gluten-free, but it still tastes amazing—no dry cardboard vibes here. My gluten-eating family requests these recipes regularly. If you do eat gluten, I often include swap suggestions in the recipe notes.

Ha! With six kids, I don’t have time for recipes that don’t work. Every single one gets battle-tested in my chaotic kitchen. If it survives a Tuesday dinner rush and gets requested again, it makes the blog. Plus, 500K+ people have tried these—they definitely work!

The Gentle Reset is my free 6-week email series that helps you break out of boring meal routines with simple recipes in six categories, including breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, dessert, and smoothies. Think of it as a kitchen confidence booster with real food that makes you feel better.

Great question! I team up with a registered dietitian who reviews my recipes for nutritional accuracy. I’m not claiming to cure anything—I just share what worked for my family’s digestive issues and energy levels. Think of it as your friend sharing what helped her feel better, not medical advice!

Yes! I choose to eat gluten-free and have been perfecting these recipes for years. All my recipes use gluten-free ingredients, but here’s the thing—if you have celiac disease or severe gluten sensitivity, make sure to use certified gluten-free ingredients and check all your labels. I eat gluten-free by choice, so I can’t speak to the medical side, but I definitely want you to stay safe if gluten is a serious issue for you!

Nope! If you can’t find it at your regular grocery store, I’m probably not using it. I shop at normal places with normal budgets—no unicorn dust or $30 superfood powders required.

Nope! I’m just a mom of six who got really good at making food that doesn’t make my stomach angry. Every recipe gets tested by my pickiest critics (my kids) and my recipe ingredients are reviewed by registered dietitians. I’m like your kitchen bestie who happens to have done this 400+ times!
