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

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

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

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

I love food best when it is exactly like this. These mini quiches fit the bill for being quick, easy, beautiful, nutritious, one-bowl, filling, versatile, and best of all, portable! And as a bonus (this is turning into an infomercial!,) they are freeze-able as well. Both girls loved these, and Goose requested more tomorrow with … 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
