TranslationI think for celiacs this is as huge as the parting of the Red Sea! I have been blogging about Udi’s for a few months now. I think I called their gluten-free bread something like… oh yeah, the “Holy Grail” of the gluten free world. I’m not joking either! The sandwich bread is moist and [...]
TranslationSam went to his first birthday party of the school year this past weekend. Sam is new to this school and when he got the invitation he was really excited to go. I noticed the hours of the party were around lunch time so we called to confirm that lunch was being served and when [...]

TranslationA follow up from my post yesterday on Mac and Cheese. My mom made a couple of great casseroles that I loved as a kid, a Monte Cristo something or other (need to find the recipe now that I have exceptional substitutions) and the following, Macaroni Green Beans Supreme. I am not sure the source [...]
Translation Ufta! Sorry I haven’t made a post in a couple of days, yesterday was nuts because I had our carpets cleaned and in the excitement of that, I decided to rearrange my pantry… which led to me painting the pantry… which led to me painting the boys bathroom! Ahhh, I love ADHD at times, [...]
TranslationOkay…the recipe title is probably (okay, it is!) less than appealing, but this really is delicious! Take a chance and trust me :-p As I mentioned in the post with my cream puff recipe, I am of German descent. That being said, I developed a taste for sauerkraut at a very young age. I know [...]
Translation I am not sure the source of this recipe but I am pretty sure I clipped it out of the coupon section of the Sunday paper sometime last year. What I got excited about was the fact it was almost naturally gluten free, just needed a minor substitution for the gingersnap cookies, which was [...]

There is a great raspberry farm in a quaint little village near us, in Corrales, NM, called Heidi’s Raspberry Farm. We all piled up and went on the hunt. Eight pints later (and probably at least as much in Luke’s [...]
TranslationI LOVE Autumn! It conjures up many memories of growing up in the Midwest with the crisp cool days, breathtaking fall foliage, Ohio State Football and all the wonderful baking that my mom did. Whether it be apple pies from the apples we picked at Lynd’s Apple Farm or the following cookie recipe for Ginger [...]
Translation**Warning: this post is LONG!** Okay, so yesterday I was going to post my review of Boston’s Gourmet Pizza and their new gluten free menu. After a couple of months of “research” and bragging to all my GF friends about how great Boston’s GF pizza is, I was finally ready to make my post. As [...]
Translation I am ALWAYS asked to bring Deviled Eggs to potlucks, they have become my “thing.” What I think sets this recipe for deviled eggs apart from many others, is the pickle juice. Trust me, these are addictive. Deviled Eggs 1 dozen Large Eggs, hard boiled (I throw in a few more for the inevitable [...]
TranslationI love pasta salad because it is a great way to sneak in extra vegetables for my kids and they wont even gripe about it. I send small containers in their lunch boxes to school.

They were a HUGE hit!! My maiden name is [...]
Translation There is so much to consider when sending a GF child to school! Everyday seems to be a new experience and I realize I have yet ANOTHER GF supply that I either need to make or buy! I have posted a recipe for GF Play Dough in the past and while it is great [...]
