Kale-stuffed Mushrooms
Goose loved these, and they were fun to make, since most of the ingredients were local and seasonal! Large Portabella mushrooms (remove and dice stems) Kale Pine-nuts Grated cheese (I used sharp cheddar) Bacon Cream Butter Garlic Remove the stems from the mushrooms and dice. Lightly saute the mushroom caps in butter on each side, … Read more

(Whole Food) Spooky Snacks
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
Soft Molasses Cookies
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
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: 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
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
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
