Ask anyone at my house what is one food that we miss having for breakfast since my son as diagnosed with a wheat allergy. The answer would be a unanimous “DOUGHNUTS”.

Fiesta Stuffed Mini Peppers

Fiesta Stuffed Mini Peppers

It never fails. Every time I go to the grocery store I ask my Hubby what he wants me to get. The answer: “Get me something good.” In my Hubby’s terms this means something that can be popped in the microwave or oven for a quick snack. Basically all that junk I try to avoid: [...]
