Homemade Mixed Berry Sorbet

I have to admit, I’m astonished at how good this is. I can’t believe I haven’t been making my own sorbet for years. It is leaps and bounds aboveĀ store-bought sorbet. There really is no comparison. The flavors are pure and powerful and literally taste… Continue Reading “Homemade Mixed Berry Sorbet”

Chicken & Veggie Flat Bread

This flat bread is gluten-free and dairy-free. Super easy and very versatile. I’ve made it numerous times with different types of ingredients for dinner, lunch, parties, you name it.

Thanksgiving dinner is my all time, number one, favorite meal. My grandma cooked the most amazing Thanksgiving dinners that I have ever had, hands down. A perfect turkey and stuffing every single time, some years she even cooked a ham and a turkey, every… Continue Reading “Gluten Free Stuffing”

Sugar Cookies

Frosted sugar cookies are by far my all time favorite cookie. I have a long list of cookies I love, but sugar cookies are always at the top in the #1 spot. You can eat them plain, or frost them, sprinkle them with sugar,… Continue Reading “Sugar Cookies”

Pie Crust From Heaven

  OK, first let me explain to you how much I absolutely love pie crust. If left here by myself with a pie, I can probably easily eat the whole thing for breakfast, lunch, and dinner in two days flat. Pie crust is comfort… Continue Reading “Pie Crust From Heaven”
