I made Star Wars themed cupcakes for Sam to share with his classmates for his birthday yesterday. Cupcakes are pretty easy and you can find great cupcake picks and liners in stores or online. I found the Darth Vader and Stormtrooper rings on Ebay. I made it through…I am done with birthday cake until July! […]

Green Chile Chicken Posole
posted on October 12, 2009 by
One of the soups I made for Sam’s birthday party was Green Chile Chicken Posole. I had it at a party once and I probably ate 20 bowls of it, well, not really but it was that good! I didn’t have a recipe to follow so I just tried to wing it on my own […]
Star Wars Birthday Party
posted on October 12, 2009 by
Wow! Sam’s birthday was a great success and I am so happy to have that stress behind me! 🙂 6 weeks of Death Star pinata making, Light Saber making and Cake sculpting and decorating. I think I could sleep for a week! So, this is what I learned the most, cake decorating is HARD work. […]

I was packing a picnic to take to the Pumpkin Patch today and decided to whip out some cookies to go with the occasion. These are super fast and easy to make and absolutely delicious! Here is the recipe: Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies I omitted the raisins because I do not care for cooked raisins […]
Full of “Hot Air”
posted on October 9, 2009 by
We went to the “Special Shapes Glowdeo” at the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta last night. Personally, I think this is the coolest parts of the fiesta, hot air balloons in just about every imaginable fun shape you can imagine! At the Glowdeo, the balloons do not actually take flight, but at dusk the pilots all […]

On Saturday, I thought I would surprise my guys by trying to make a “real” sub sandwich. I think I came pretty darned close, thanks to Annalise G. Roberts, author of Gluten-Free Baking Classics. The recipe is appropriately called “Submarine Sandwich Bread” and is on page 178. If you decide to buy this cookbook, you […]
Gluten Free Baby

I just saw this and thought I would share… wish this was around a couple years ago when Luke was eating baby food! Tasty Baby Baby Food. Speaking of babies… I saw something rather interesting a while back when researching “green” diapers for Luke’s sensitive bottom. Did you know that Earth’s Best Tendercare Chlorine Free […]
Chocolate Chip Cookies with a Healthy Twist
posted on October 6, 2009 by
This is a recipe from the Deceptively Delicious cookbook by Jessica Seinfeld. There are some really great recipes in this cookbook that can be easily tweaked to be gluten free. I have an exceptionally picky 2 year old and even he loves these cookies. They have chickpeas (a.k.a. garbanzo beans) in them and I promise, […]
Gluten-Free Sage Dressing
posted on October 6, 2009 by
This recipe hails from my Grandma Schmidt in Austin, Minnesota. It is one of my favorite family recipes. I have very fond memories of making this dressing every Thanksgiving with my dad. Traditionally, we always stuffed the bird which apparently is not a very safe way of cooking it…but it always came out very […]
