Breakfast Granola Cookies
I can’t believe I am inside baking!!! The girls are out in the wading pool for the first time, and we have opened the windows and turned on the whole-house fan. It’s not quite yet a million degrees in here, and certainly doesn’t feel anything like it does in late August when we are canning, … Read more
Twisted Baked Spaghetti
I put a twist on baked spaghetti and everyone enjoyed it. It’s a good way to use up leftover beans, greens, and chicken from previous meals. Twisted Baked Spaghetti: 8-10 servings 1 pkg GF spaghetti noodles, cooked and drained 1 quart spaghetti sauce 1-2 chicken breasts, cooked and sliced thin approx 2 c white beans … Read more
Grain-Free Cupcakes and Frosting
I made these cupcakes about a year ago for the first time, and recently revisited the recipe, which was as good as I had remembered. Why I never posted it here is beyond me, because they are sinful and delicious, and worth sharing! Grain-free Chocolate Cupcakes: 1/2 cup coconut flour 1 tbs almond flour 1/2 … Read more
Oatmeal Raisin Muffins
I finally made muffins on a Monday again, after months of thinking about it and not doing it. Why I can’t stick with this is beyond me! It does make life easier. Clearly, I need to make myself a file of only muffin recipes! These made enough for us to have as part of breakfast … Read more
Cheesy Spinach/Squash Casserole
Goose says this is the best thing EVER, which, in my book, means it’s blog-worthy. (Well, that and the 5 helpings she ate.) Lil Pea, on the other hand, does not eat her food “mixed up” and wouldn’t touch it. We have found it’s best to serve her a “deconstructed” dinner, and since she likes … Read more
Cinco De Mayo… an excuse for fried ice-cream
I forgot to post this in a more timely fashion, but the photos were so good that I wanted to share. The ice-cream was a hit too. “Fried” Ice-Cream: 4 large scoops of ice-cream (I prefer vanilla, but any flavor will do) Approx 1 cup of crushed cereal (I used Buckwheat Flakes) Approx 1/3 cup … Read more
Dinner Rolls
After a winter of general wellness for all of us, I am hanging on to a nasty cold we were hit with about six weeks ago. I just can’t kick the sniffles! In a moment of general malaise today, I decided what I really “needed” was the comfort of a piece of really crusty bread. … Read more
Smoothie Packs: Smoothie Making, Made Easier
I keep seeing these popping up all over the internet, so I thought I would make a few and see if they helped me drink more smoothies. One big thing that I find daunting about smoothies is that I always have a million little things I want to add for more nutrition, and dragging out … Read more
Bread (free) Pudding
This was one of those really happy accidents. My girls are not big oatmeal fans, so I was shocked when they literally licked their bowls AND the casserole dish clean! I was in 7th heaven that it tasted just like what I remember my favorite bread pudding tasting like. We’ll definitely be making this again. … Read more
Pretty Salad
I don’t know what to call this salad, as it’s rather complex, but Twig keeps encouraging me to post it. Anyone who knows him, knows he is not a “salad person,” so this is a big deal! I think it was the presentation that wowed him. I didn’t get a photo of the dressing, but … Read more
