I’ve always included Brielle in my cooking, but just recently she’s really started to get into it. Now she wants to participate more than just stirring the pancake or cupcake batter. This week she helped me make fish. We went to Whole Foods and picked it out together and I fielded questions like, “Mommy, why aren’t his eyes moving?” (We were looking at the smoked whole whitefish.) And when she saw the huge Octopus: “Mommy, can it eat??” Nope.. it’s dead. So there...

Nature never ceases to amaze me. Squash that looks and tastes (use your imagination!) like angel hair pasta, and now butternut squash that can be used as lasagna noodles?! Add some Mozzarella cheese and it tastes like you are getting fatter by the bite-full, but you’re not! You don’t really need a recipe for this one.

Without the trip to IKEA! These actually resemble an amazing dairy-free Beef Stroganoff. And Beef Stroganoff was one of my FAVORITE dishes pre-dairy allergy. So I’m beyond excited to find this recipe! Next time I’ll add a grain-free noodle and it will cover that craving perfectly. This recipe makes a ton, so depending on your family size you can freeze some and/or have leftovers for the next day. I’m excited to eat it again for lunch. So is Michael! The ingredients...
