Change Isn’t Easy But It Is SO Worth It

Ahhhh…the allergen free life. It’s gotten much easier over the years but sometimes you forget what it was like when you ate whatever you wanted whenever you wanted and then, well, felt like total crap. When I’m tempted to fall off of the gluten-free… Continue Reading “Change Isn’t Easy But It Is SO Worth It”

Rainy Day Blues

Our son is graduating from high school in exactly 18 days. (Yay!) I have a list a mile long of things in the house I need to get done, other lists that need to be made, groceries that need to be shopped for, yard… Continue Reading “Rainy Day Blues”

You Might As Well Make Them Tasty

Vegetables. Don’t get me wrong, I do like them and typically I eat them with my lunch and dinner. But sometimes, they are just so hard to get excited about. I’m usually much more invested in the main dish and am at a loss… Continue Reading “You Might As Well Make Them Tasty”

Even though I love to cook and bake and blog about it, talk about it, and plan it…sometimes I dread making dinner. Particularly if it has been a long day or we’ve been very busy. I think I probably have more of my grandmother’s… Continue Reading “Grilled Chicken with “Fancy” Sauteed Greed Beans”

Easy Oven Baked Ribs

I love ribs smothered in sweet and spicy sauce. They just have so much to offer the palette. Not too sweet, not too spicy, warm and satisfying. Messy and hardy. If gluten didn’t make me feel so terrible I would probably go out to… Continue Reading “Easy Oven Baked Ribs”

“Beer” In The Rear Chicken with Quinoa Veggie Pasta and Wine Sauce

Grilling season is finally here, right? As I look out the window it’s raining (again) and 52 degrees. That’s a sad state affairs for the 7th of May where I live. The up side is that we have a covered deck, so we grill… Continue Reading ““Beer” In The Rear Chicken with Quinoa Veggie Pasta and Wine Sauce”
