I love this soup and it is loaded with fiber and iron. My mom made this when I was growing up and now I make it for my own family. Even my very picky 2 year old will eat it… I presume it is the BACON!! The only thing that comes to mind when I […]
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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

posted on October 5, 2009 by
Have you ever eaten at Bob Evan’s Restaurants? I used to eat there all the time as a kid in Ohio. I ALWAYS got the very same thing each time: Chicken-N-Noodles! A crock of thick home-style egg noodles with slow-roasted chicken and vegetables in a rich and creamy broth. Yum. A perfect autumn meal, especially […]

A 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 […]

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, I […]
