Pumpkin-Pecan Cinnamon Rolls
This recipe is two years in the making. I’ve tried modifying several recipes to fit out diet, but none have been as good as these. I posted these last June, which were delicious, but not extremely pretty. I think this new recipe is both! Plus? PUMPKIN! These can be made ahead of time too and … 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
Chocolate Chia Pudding
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
Almost Samoas Cookies

Very easy to make too. Almost-Samoas Cookies: (makes about 40) INGREDIENTS: 2 cups oatmeal, soaked overnight in filtered water and 1 tbs … Read more

This is important because she doesn’t have any dietary restrictions, so I think I got an honest opinion. At any rate, between her, Goose, and Lil Pea, there wasn’t a crumb left between … Read more
Chocolate
Chocolate. It’s got caffeine, which is said to be evil, and I did test positive to caffeine sensitivity on the Meridian Stress Test, as did Goose. But chocolate is one of those things that is hard to give up. And it’s something that helps us get more Omega 3′s since I can make it myself … Read more
Week One: Success
I feel successful. We’ve been eating this way for a week now and Lil Pea has had 2 very short bouts of crying for something sweet, but no one has starved and no one has gone insane (well more than we were to start with!) I’ve tried several recipes that were dismal failures with me … Read more
Thinking outside the slice (of bread)
Eggs. Yep, that’s right: eggs. Twig is sensitive to them (they upset his stomach,) but the rest of us can have them, and BOY HOWDY, are we having them! Scrambled, omelets, in hashes, whipped whites for cookies, in salads… the list goes on and on. I keep dreaming of things to do with them now. … Read more
