I got home from Ohio late last night and am ready to get back to business! Traveling GF is quite different by airplane than road tripping with your own food in tow! I have not been on an airplane in several years because the boys have been so small. Some things that I had anticipated […]
Having Fun in Columbus, Ohio
posted on October 17, 2009 by
I think I have gained 100 pounds since I arrived in Columbus 2 days ago. I feel like Violet Beauregard, the blueberry girl from the original Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory! I am having a great time trying new restaurants but it is so COLD and wet outside, I can’t walk it off… well, […]
Bread and Butter Pickles
posted on October 15, 2009 by
I have been meaning to make this post since July but better late than never right?? I made homemade pickles for the first time this summer and I had so much fun! The end flavor was the perfect blend of vinegar, sugar and spice. The texture of the pickled cucumbers were light and crunchy. The […]
Last Minute Star Wars

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

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 […]

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. […]

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 […]
