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
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

Since the texture of chia seeds in a gelled liquid isn’t appealing to me, I thought I would try blasting them with some milk in the blender and making a … Read more
Spaghetti O’Soup
Who says food that is good for you can’t taste as good as packaged convenience foods? This is a dead ringer for a childhood favorite. Inspired by Iowa Girl Eats, I modified the recipe to make it work for our diet, and made my own meatballs to boot. This comes together very quickly, and even … Read more
Chocolate Biscotti
Just as I am toying with the idea of giving up coffee for awhile, I make biscotti. Well, I have a good excuse though! I was reading another gluten-free blog this morning and the author is writing a cookbook. She is in the stage of asking people to test her recipes, and one of them … Read more
