At the recommendation of a reader (thanks, Dawn!) I picked up the book, Practical Paleo, and read it cover to cover in about three days. It wasn’t a lot of new information (to me) but it was a great recap of everything I’ve read and learned over the past few years since discovering the wisdom and common sense… Continue Reading →
If you are NOT gluten free, you can use this recipe with regular flour tortillas. It’s just as good! Since going gluten free I have missed enchiladas terribly. They were once one of my favorite easy go-to meals. I posted my favorite enchilada recipe long ago, before I started my gluten-free journey, and it still gets… Continue Reading →
We bought a side of beef in the spring of 2012 and stored it all in our basement freezer to supply our red meat quota for the year. Included in the side of beef were 6 packs of filet mignon. I’m a huge fan of filet when dining out, but I was terrified to prepare… Continue Reading →
I love hosting my {Gluten-Free} Recipe Roundup every week. I’ve found SO many good recipes from there. I hope you don’t tune it out if you’re not gluten free. Most of my recipes are naturally gluten free or can be made with regular glutenous ingredients, if that’s what floats your boat! These Banana Blueberry Egg Muffins from Live… Continue Reading →
There is a certain, ahem, motion picture awards show coming up (on Sunday night, February 24, if you’re wondering.) Are you planning to watch? I was never a big awards show watcher until it became such a huge Twitter event. Now I love watching the awards shows and seeing everyone’s commentary in real time, and… Continue Reading →
I wanted to make a special gluten-free Valentine’s Day treat for us to enjoy as a family. I had a loaf of Udi’s Gluten Free White Sandwich Bread in my freezer, so I decided to look online for a chocolate bread pudding recipe (if I’m gonna make bread pudding, it’s gonna be chocolate, can I get… Continue Reading →
I was going through my Recipe Index one chilly night last week, looking for something comforting and easy to make for dinner with leftover chicken. I had forgotten all about this recipe! I thought perhaps you had too, so I thought I’d republish it. I’ve updated a few things but it is still every bit… Continue Reading →
I’ve never sat down and watched an entire football game in my life. But I’m also not one to turn down the opportunity to party. I have such fond memories of Game Day celebrations growing up. It didn’t really matter whose teams were playing as long as there was plenty of delicious food to go… Continue Reading →
Yes, two recipes this week!!! I’m all about the appetizers lately, for some reason! This is another great game-day dip recipe that I discovered at Sandi’s Allergy Free Recipes. I altered it just a bit to suit our dairy-loving household, but it’s pretty much the same otherwise. If you love goat cheese and chili (raise your hand!)… Continue Reading →
The other night I was looking for an easy supper. A frittata is always quick and easy as long as the ingredients don’t require a lot of prep. With a box of frozen spinach in the freezer, a 5-lb bag of potatoes in my pantry and a half a package of ham in the fridge,… Continue Reading →
I’m glad you're here! I'm a writer, talker, coffee addict and collector of people and handbags. I live outside of Philly with my husband, 3 children, and a terribly spoiled shih tzu named Savannah. Read More →
