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
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
Bean n Cheese Burgers
Sorry about the poor food staging and photo– we were anxious to dig into these! The girls and I loved these, and they are a one-bowl dish (plus a skillet.) I purposefully made them on a night when Twig wasn’t home, since they are vegetarian and he is anything but! I knew he would be … Read more
Mexican Casserole
Trying to make good tasting food with what we have on hand and meet everyone’s various dietary restrictions is no easy feat! I’m out of eggs, which are really a staple in our house, but luckily I know how to conform to all sorts of dietary challenges when cooking and baking. Another issue we are … Read more
Bread
This was a paleo bread recipe that I modified so that it would be a little fluffier and sweeter. You can certainly make bread with flax, eggs, nuts, and little else, but since we still consume grains, I wanted something with a bit of a texture similar to the breads we have known in our … Read more
Cut-out Biscuits
Mmmm these are absolutely as delicious as they look AND the dough is really fun to play with- like “real” dough! They are a tad bit more crumbly than biscuits that contain gluten, but VERY satisfying! We have been making these for a few months now, and each time I change a thing or two, … Read more
