Chocolate-filled Peanut Butter Cookies
I tested these cookies out on Goose’s friend who is over this evening for a sleepover, and she gave them rave reviews. This is important because she doesn’t have any dietary restrictions, so I think I got an honest opinion. At any rate, between her, Goose, and Lil Pea, there wasn’t a crumb left between … Read more
Product Review: Crunchmaster Crackers
A month or so ago, we were asked to review Crunchmaster brand crackers for the blog, and sent a box of samples. I’ve been neglecting writing this post, but since I received the samples for free, I am obligated to post this blog. #1- They are gluten-free, which is fantastic. They are NOT corn-free, … Read more
Salt Dough for Ornaments (Gluten-Free and 100% Fun)
This recipe is not one for eating, but for decoration only. Many people can’t even touch items with gluten due to Celiac and severe sensitivity, so we altered the standard wheat-laden recipe to be gluten-free. It certainly won’t kill you if you taste/eat a little bit, since all the ingredients are edible, so it is … Read more
Candybar Trail Mix
Last year we made popcorn balls with honey, but this year we’re avoiding corn, so I had a bit of a challenge. Before I had dietary restrictions, and especially before I had kids, one of my favorite gifts to give was homemade candy. I have chocolate molds in all shapes and sizes that I still … Read more
A Seedy Bar
Heh heh! Not THAT kind of seedy bar! Lil Pea helped me make these yesterday, and they smelled so delicious while dehydrating that everyone kept opening it up and stealing bites! These are fast to make- about 10 minutes hands-on time from start to finish…. just gather ingredients, stir together, spread on parchment or silpat … Read more
The Wagon… and clawing my way back onto it.
A few weeks ago, I was stricken with the flu… or some kind of horrible cold. No matter what you call it, or what it actually was, it really defeated me for quite sometime, as far as motivation and energy to do much- including food prep. The end result was also that I relaxed some … Read more
That’s a Wrap!
We’ve been loving lettuce wraps for a long time now, and it’s something I don’t think I’ve really talked about here, so it’s time to share. Goose and I gravitate toward them for lunch a lot of times- they’re just as fast and easy as a sandwich, and just as portable with a reusable container. … Read more
Greek-inspired Chicken Bake
I threw this together from leftovers today, and decided it’s a “keeper.” Sorry for the lack of photo- we gobbled it down. Greek-inspired Chicken Bake: Leftover shredded chicken (I used twice as much chicken as potatoes, but it’s up to you) Cooked potatoes, cubed (I cubed up cold baked potatoes for mine, and left the … Read more
Best Bean Soup (and garden update)
Twig is a soup snob. He rarely thinks homemade soup is as good as restaurant soup, so I’m always trying for his approval when we make soup from scratch. This one made the cut, and he asked me to blog the recipe. I love that it was easy to make, used mostly local ingredients, and … Read more
Chive Biscuits
Ah, the ongoing pursuit of the perfect gluten-free biscuit… Returning, once again, to GlutenFreeHomemaker for inspiration, (let’s give credit where credit is due!,) I decided to try again for cut-out biscuits. I’ll continue to work on a truly perfect biscuit, but they’re my best yet, and everyone gobbled them up. Goose, after running to the … Read more
