I am also a busy mom and wife, juggling practices, homework, and dinner time. My husband Jim and I have three children aged 20, 18, and 16, and one super cute pup, named Cooper. 🐶 I graduated from Harvard University with a Master's in Technology in Education in 2003. This blog is about how I married my love of healthy eating and my background in technology.

I made your blackberry banana bread (gf) and it was great.
These is an error in the recipe on seasonalcravings.com as in step 6 it refers to adding chocolate chips.

Quick question about your Gluten Fre Zucchini Bread: Your recipe calls for Bob’s Red Mill GF All Purpose Flour, but doesn’t call for xanthum Gum. When I searched for that flour, I could only find Bob’s Red Mill GF All Purpose Baking Flour — and on the package that flour notes to add Xanthum gum, which I did and it turned out fine, but I’d prefer not to use xanthum gum if I can avoid it. Can you clarify which flour you use that doesn’t require xanthum gum? (Note that I realize BRM has a 1:1 GF baking flour that includes xanthum bum, but as I said I’d prefer to avoid the xanthum gum entirely).
Thanks!

Hi there, I just use the OXO Good Grips Multi-Purpose ones from Amazon and they work great. I make sure the kids don't use them to cut other things. 🙂

My name is Karen Kelley. As you know it's kind of a common name. There are a lot of us out there. I am a single mother, and I have 4 children that I raised alone. When the marriage ended, I had 7 year old twins, a son that was 5 and my daughter was 3 years old. .They are all adults and 1 of my sons is a veteran. I never thought about being gluten free, when I was cooking for my family. Now, my kids are grown and II am older and would like to learn about gluten free. Thank you for your response. Have a good day...
