I haven’t done a blog in over a week. After the busy holiday schedule where I was posting 2-3 times a week, this seems like a big lull. Having lost my grandfather the night of my last post, frankly, I just wasn’t up for another post last week. The service was beautiful and it was […]
Ingredient-Challenge Monday, Vegan Garlic Kale Chips
January 3, 2011 By 5 Comments
I love leafy greens. Seriously. Spinach, Mustard, Turnip, Kale…love love love! My garden was loaded with greens this year and my only wish is that we had more to enjoy! It surprises and somewhat saddens me that many people look at greens and freeze up; clueless as to how to add these striking gems to […]

It’s hard to believe that today is the very last day of 2010. So many blessings have come my way this year. I married the love of my life this year. Our blended family has fused so beautifully that even my oldest daughter says “mommy, it feels as if you have always been my mommy,” […]
Fruit Sweetened Jalapeño Pomegranate Jam — Ingredient Challenge Monday (One Day Late)
December 21, 2010 By 3 Comments
I mentioned before that I am a bit of a cookbook addict. You know, I have come to realize I am a bit of a blogging addict as well. Not just my own blog, but others too! I often derive ideas for my gluten free and dairy free recipes from other non-gluten free or dairy […]

December 17, 2010 By 12 Comments
Gourmet chocolates have brought us all kinds of zany combinations. Chocolate covered fruit, gummy bears, peppermint sticks or even biscotti…each and every combination has its own unique taste and texture, each just as exquisite as the next. Nearly two years ago I had my first taste of pepper infused chocolate with a hint of sea […]

December 14, 2010 By 15 Comments
Fudge. Melt in your mouth piece of heaven. I have been making fudge for more years than I care to admit to and fell in love with what has, in recent years, been dubbed “five minute” fudge more than 20 years ago. No doubt you have seen similar recipes. Rachel Ray shared her version […]

Sweetened condensed milk is one of those coveted items, especially by those of us who cannot have milk. When used for deserts, candies, cakes, even hot drinks, there is a magical depth of flavor that occurs which no other addition seems to bring to the table. My recipe for sweetened condensed milk gives you all […]

Sorry for being off the map for the last few days. This weekend my husband and I were off the map, quite literally, camping and hiking throughout no man’s land, and it has taken a couple of days to get things back in order. As happy as I am to be back, I must say […]

Inspiration is an interesting thing; it can come to us from the strangest places. Tonight’s inspiration comes from the back of a bag of celery. Yes, celery. A few weeks ago after making some Ants on a Log with my kiddos, as I was in process of throwing away the celery bag, I noticed a […]

A few weeks ago I asked my readers what traditional Thanksgiving dish they would like to see me transition into a Gluten Free Dairy Free delicacy. Out of all of the suggestions offered, one item in particular kept popping into conversations…Pumpkin Pie. Then I was challenged in person by a friend who wanted an easy […]
