I LOVE strawberries and strawberry jam. I always thought that making jam meant working for hours in the hot summer in a hot kitchen over a hot stove, doing the whole canning process (which I’ve never really done before). I thought that the no-cook varieties (ie. freezer jam) was cheating. But the more that I looked into it, and the ... 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 »
MR – I was making chicken caesar salad last night, and realized that I would love to have some croutons in it. I’ve never bought them, just because it never really crosses my mind to do so. Then I remembered a recipe I learned way back in highschool for making your own croutons in the microwave. It’s SO quick, so simple, ... Read More »
I still remember the first time that I encountered Chocolate Ganache – I went to a wedding with a soon-to-be-ex boyfriend (always awkward going to a wedding with someone when you know your relationship with them is on the decline, hey?) in one of the south-eastern states – I really can’t remember where it was, I didn’t really know the ...

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 »

I’ve tried a few different Eggplant Parm recipes in the past couple years, but all of them just required way too much work for me to repeat them again – the egging, breading, & frying BEFORE all of the work to make them actually happens! So I was thrilled to find this recipe from Chic galleria in which the eggplant was ... Read More »
I love baking. I love eating baked goods. Problem is, the baking that I’m good at is largely unhealthy for me, and really not good for my son to eat – it contains white flour and a lot of sugar. Even ‘healthy’ baking, like zucchini bread, has more refined carbs & sugars than I should be eating, and my poor ... Read More »
MR – As soon as I saw the picture of this pin, I knew I had to try it – they looked delicious, easy, and very healthy – exactly what I look for in recipes. And as for it being gluten-free, I know that I can feed it to a friend’s child, or recommend it to family members who are ... Read More »
Wow- it’s been a while. Sorry about that! Many things going on, I hadn’t realized that it had been so long since I had posted last! Last Monday, I chose a recipe that I had made once before – Spinach Chickpea Burgers. Chickpeas are inexpensive and versatile, and the weather was perfect for a BBQ. The recipe that I started ...
