I found some gummy bears by Yummy Earth at Whole Foods a couple of weeks ago. I thought they would be a good treat to put in the boy’s lunch boxes. Inside the big bag, there are 30 little portion sized packages. I was surprised at how much I liked them, and I am a […]

Smothered Pork Chops
posted on October 27, 2009 by
My mom-in-law made this recipe last year and I remember thinking they were the best pork chops I have ever eaten. She gave me a photo copy of the recipe and it looks like it came from the magazine Cook’s Country. There are a lot of steps but it is worth the effort! Smothered Pork […]
Gluten-Free Baguettes
posted on October 25, 2009 by
I found this recipe in the October/November 2008 issue of Living Without Magazine. I made the bread for a dinner party and let everyone else taste test while I hid in the kitchen bracing myself for another gluten-free bread baking disappointment! Imagine my surprise when the “glutenators” started saying how good the bread was, even […]

posted on October 24, 2009 by
I cannot believe Trick-or-Treat is already here! This will be my first year checking out the loot bag for gluten-containing candy in addition to the usual precautions, so I am getting my lists printed out now because my husband will inevitably need to take a copy (as well as a flashlight) along route as my […]
Hearty Bean Soup
posted on October 22, 2009 by
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 […]
Airline Travel: Be Prepared with Gluten Free Snacks
posted on October 19, 2009 by
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 […]
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! […]
Star Wars Birthday Party

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. […]
