Gluten-Free Caramel Heavenlies

I found the original recipe for these cookies about 15 years ago in a Taste of Home magazine. They are incredibly easy and delicious and are great to have just as a simple after dinner treat or to give as gifts.  I haven’t made… Continue Reading “Gluten-Free Caramel Heavenlies”

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

If you set aside all the green fun and food, what is St. Patrick’s Day really about? It has little to do with green beer…and more to do with perseverance, standing up for what you believe, and making a difference in the world. Today… Continue Reading “Happy St. Patrick’s Day!”

Gluten-Free Sandwich Bread

I don’t think I know one person that doesn’t love bread. Who doesn’t crave a really good sandwich every now and then? Being gluten-free and dairy-free can make that seemingly simple craving not so simple. There are several gluten-free breads “out there”. I’ve tried… Continue Reading “Gluten-Free Sandwich Bread”

Gluten-Free & Dairy-Free Lasagna

Having to be gluten-free and dairy-free no longer bothers me, at all. Can you believe it? I actually like it. I like that I’m eating healthier because I’ve introduced more nutritious grains into my diet that I wouldn’t otherwise have known about.  And of… Continue Reading “Gluten-Free & Dairy-Free Lasagna”

Ahhh…it feels good to be back in the kitchen. For me, it’s so relaxing to putter around, look through recipes, and think about what I want to cook or bake. I’ve been helping out in my sister in-law’s medical office for the past week… Continue Reading “Rustic Vegetable Tart”

Crisco Alternative

I posted a recipe for sugar cookies a while back that requires Crisco shortening. A friend who doesn’t allow any partially hydrogenated fats into her diet wrote me a note and asked if there was an alternative. I did about 30 seconds of research… Continue Reading “Crisco Alternative”

Blueberry Chocolate Chip Waffles

I love waking up and fixing special breakfasts on Saturday mornings. During the week my husband and son are usually in a hurry so we don’t get to sit down and enjoy a nice breakfast together. My husband usually does his own oatmeal or… Continue Reading “Blueberry Chocolate Chip Waffles”

Simple Crockpot Spaghetti Sauce

Ahhh….crockpots. They make life so easy. All the work is done in the morning and you get to come home to a fully cooked meal at the end of the day. The house smells so wonderful and inviting. This sauce recipe has a couple… Continue Reading “Simple Crockpot Spaghetti Sauce”

Frozen Chocolate Banana Bites

It’s funny how our tastes change as we get older. During my entire childhood, I probably only ever ate maybe five bananas, and I’m pretty sure they were in the form of banana split sundaes. I really didn’t like them at all. It wasn’t… Continue Reading “Frozen Chocolate Banana Bites”
