This is a really simple recipe I threw together with miscellany from my fridge, in order to have something “fresh” on our plates. It’s also good to use up a few odd fresh veggies that you have hanging around, and works any time of year, if you are trying to eat seasonally. Relish: makes about … Read more

These were super easy to make, and my kids thought they were hilarious instead of really spooky. They’re winners because they actually ate them! See for yourself. I made these snacks in about 10 minutes. The carrots take the longest, but had I done them in assembly-line fashion rather than each individual one at a … Read more

I used to love these cookies before we went gluten-free. I was in the mood to bake cookies today, and thought I would try my hand at them. I found a recipe card that I wrote for soft molasses cookies in 1995, back when I was collecting my very first recipes from library books and … Read more

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

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

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

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

Here is a recipe (sadly, no photo!) that I wanted to share with you after my potato chip addiction post. Somehow, I got side-tracked along the way, but here it is! Missing bbq flavored potato chips? These are just as addictive. Barbecue Crackers: 1 cup of any barbecue sauce (that is compatible w/your diet) … Read more

Chia is all the rage right now, apparently. There are recipes galore for chia puddings out there, but I haven’t seen any that are smooth. 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

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
