Sam 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 […]

posted on September 28, 2009 by
Whew…I think I have made a passable (at least to a group of 5 and 6 year olds) Death Star Pinata for Sam and his buddy Garrett’s upcoming Star Wars birthday party. This is what I used as a guide: Overall, this was pretty easy. Especially using what was originally a soccer ball pinata. It […]

While at my local Sunflower Market the other day I came across a few products that I have not seen before and thought I would share my findings! I am also trying to keep an eye on dairy free products to experiment with. Sorry about the quality of some of the photos, I took them […]

Slowcooker Ribs ‘N Kraut and Homemade Applesauce
posted on September 20, 2009 by
Okay…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 […]
Individual Pumpkin Cheesecakes

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 a […]

posted on September 18, 2009 by
I received a very nice email from the Manager who assisted me at Boston’s Gourmet Pizza last week after I was accidentally “glutened.” I wanted to share with everyone the email and the steps that the Albuquerque Boston’s has taken to see that this will hopefully not happen again. It puts a smile of gratitude […]
