This is a dish that I first made last week for a new mom. We’ve typically made this recipe, but it tastes best with sausage in it – and my friend only eats chicken. So, I did a bit of searching on Pinterest, and found this very appealing recipe. It went over really well, so I decided to make it ... Read More »
I opened a can of pumpkin puree the other day to make some pumpkin cream cheese icing (fail – but it tasted great!) for a friend’s birthday cake, and then I had 3/4 of the can left. I’m babysitting 4 days a week and I like to make yummy, healthy lunches for the kids – so I thought that I’d give ... Read More »
This is another recipe that I’ve had in the drawer for about 6 months – I make them almost once a week, and they go over SUPER well with everyone who’s sat at my table. (The other possibility is that the kids have all just been super polite & asked for 2nds & 3rds just to suck up, but considering they’ve ... Read More »
In the past 18 months, I’ve done a fair amount of gluten and wheat free baking, and while there are some excellent and tasty recipes out there, it’s so very rare to find easy gluten free recipes that turn out so similar to those tasty white flour alternatives. {By ‘easy’, I mean recipes that don’t involve all of the extras ...

There’s something about French that makes things sound complicated and difficult. Heads up: this recipe is neither.This is my second time making this dish for Meatless Mondays this fall – as many good recipes & ideas as there are out there, this one was a real hit & the zucchini is still coming out of the garden on a regular ...

Green onions, green beans, beets, zucchini, & concord grapes. My garden is literally exploding with produce right now, and I couldn’t be happier! Every day, supper is planned not around what is in the fridge, but what’s ready to come out of the garden. And right now, the zucchini is ripening by the pound! DH’s favourite food is lasagna. ...

MR – I have never liked cauliflower – ever since I was really young. I just remember the mushy texture and the odd taste. My dad would always mash it into my potatoes so I wouldn’t have to taste it, but it didn’t help much. So I have avoided it for much of my adult life. But then there was ... Read More »
Happy Meatless Monday! I’m going to share with you a recipe that I tried out a couple weeks ago – and I REALLY apologize for horrible pics – they don’t look good, but the dinner was actually really tasty! It was the kind of meal that I felt could have been served on April Fools – Gluten-free pasta with alfredo sauce ... Read More »
Last time I was home with the kids to visit my mom, she gave me a cookbook that she had purchased for me (and had the author sign!): The No Grainer Baker (Like no-brainer, but no-grainer – get it?): Gluten Free / Grain Free; Ideal for celiac, high fibre, low carbohydrate and low sodium diets. So many of the recipes ... Read More »
We’ve been enjoying variations on this gluten-free cookie base for the past few months here in our house. The original recipe that The Burlap Bag posted was 2 ingredients: Bananas & Oats, with the mix-ins of your choice. The simplicity of that is nice, and a 2-ingredient cookie is a great headline on Pinterest to draw in a crowd, but I found ... Read More »
