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
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 […]
Hearty Bean Soup
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
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 […]
Gluten-Free Sage Dressing
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 […]

Homemade "Reames" Egg Noodles and "Bob Evans" Style Chicken and Noodles
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 […]
Macaroni Green Beans Supreme
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 […]
