While waiting for an iced coffee at Barnes and Noble the other day, I was perusing a Fine Cooking Magazine. It was chock full of recipes that include the very things I get from my local farm co-op each week. I ended up going through the cafe line again to purchase the magazine, because I… Read More Kale, Caramelized Onions, & Pepperoni
On Monday of last week I received a desperate bulk email from a woman on in our local Celiac Support Group. She was emailing the whole group (probably 50-75 people) to see if anyone knew of a local bakery who could make a “fancy gluten free graduation cake for about 150 people – the party… Read More Operation Gluten Free Graduation Cake
I wish I was reporting that I had made the Eggplant, Red Bell Pepper, and Pesto Lasagna out of Goat Cheese – the cookbook I checked out last week, but this week has been really FULL. I hope to blog about some of that FULLNESS soon, but for now I will just leave you with… Read More Gluten Free Friday: Popsicle Time Again!
I love goat cheese. My introduction to goat cheese was about 10 years ago at our town’s weekly farmer’s market. It was a free sample from a local goat farm, and it was CHOCOLATE. Now, there’s a sure way to get folks hooked on a product, and it definitely worked on me. Not too long… Read More Gluten Free Biscuits: Goat Milk Edition (and Kombucha Success!)
Early Sunday morning, I left Massachusetts and headed to Texas in order to be with my dad for his open-heart surgery Monday morning. (All four of us siblings were able to be there!) He had his aortic valve replaced, and we have spent the week together in the hospital where he is recovering very well.… Read More Gluten Free & Heart Healthy Friday: Southwest Quinoa Salad
You may remember that my first attempt at making Kombucha was a failure. Nothing happened. Maybe it was too cold? Maybe it was because I was trying to grow my own “mushroom”? Not quite sure. But last week I got to give it another go, because out of the blue two people – TWO different… Read More Good For Your Gut Friday : Kombucha Take 2
Robert was out of town this week at this conference, where he had a great time, and said John Piper’s sermon was the best he’s ever heard. (Wow! You can listen to/watch it here!)While he was away, the kids and I managed our normal (crazy, actually) routine, and I even found some time to make… Read More Gluten Free Friday – GF Flax Sandwich Bread
This could be me. (And, that could be Robert in the background, listening to his new Dave Ramsey CD’s while washing his car(truck). Himself. At home. With rags made from his old white t-shirts.) Just wanted to share some exciting new kitchen goodies and gadgets that I recently acquired. Sadly, I left one of the… Read More Dave Ramsey & The American Frugal Housewife Circa 1950?
Well, this is really late, but I still thought I’d share a few recipes I used for my family over the Valentine’s weekend. It’s really fun for me to use the holidays as an excuse to spoil them and try out some new recipes. I found this first recipe in a Food and Wine Magazine… Read More Gluten Free Saturday – Late Valentine’s Treats
For the last few years, since my boys have become football fanatics, I have enjoyed indulging them in having friends over for the Superbowl and cooking up some “teenage/manly” snacks. I had even started thinking about giving Buffalo Wild Wings a call to see if they had any gluten free dishes or wings on their… Read More Gluten Free Friday – Sesame Maple Chicken Wings
