With all this cold weather (thank heavens it’s over! – for now…) I decided to post a recipe that would allow me to drown my longing for spring in its extreme deliciousness. The recipe I chose was posted by my friend Michelle on her blog The Funny Tummy Cafe. Michelle has a similar Celiac story to me […]

My husband and I like to create sandwiches and see if we can impress each other. When I asked him if he thought they were good (we weren’t able to eat together the night I made these) he said, “Yeah, I had two!” So I guess it passed the test. I impressed myself as well […]

When I think about comfort foods I think of noodles and cheese. Two things that my body doesn’t agree with on a regular basis, not to mention the fact that I wouldn’t consider a consistent diet of noodles and cheese to be particularly healthy. Therefore, I find myself in a dilemma. It’s freezing outside, I want […]

My kids love to eat these (which is always nice) but it’s definitely filling and flavorful enough for us adults too! We also like to mix it up and serve these not only on buns, but on hearty whole wheat bread, pita pockets, or even a flat bread. It makes for a more sophisticated twist […]

Every Christmas growing up my mom made rice pudding. To be honest, as a kid I didn’t really like it. I would eat it every year though in honor of the tradition. When I eat it now, however, I wonder how I never liked it!!! It’s the most delicious, wonderful, creamy dish ever.

I really do like black beans. I usually just buy a can, and they are always a great addition to many of my meals. I just haven’t ever thought of beans being rich and flavorful…until recently. I made the most beautiful and delicious bean discovery. Delicious to the point that my 6 year old has […]

If you haven’t caught on by now, I’ve got a lot of butternut squash around my house at the moment. I even found more in the trunk of my car that I hadn’t unloaded yet! Good thing it hasn’t been so hot that it got roasted or moldy! For this side dish I did the […]

Since it’s apple season around here, I thought this recipe was really appropriate for my post this week. When we bought our house a couple years ago, there were four over grown apple trees in the front yard. I was convinced that they all needed to be cut down. Well, this is the first year that we’ve had […]

Shepherds pie is one of those things that I have heard of pretty much as long as I can remember, didn’t eat it a lot growing up, and have only made once before I think. I decided to make my own version of it to contribute to the plethora of dishes I have on here!

Yellow squash, onion, zucchini, basil, and garlic. All in a burger! As you can see, this is not a veggie burger. I call it a Garden Burger because it is jam packed with things you get from your garden this time of year. You wouldn’t believe it, but there’s onion, yellow squash, zucchini, basil, and […]
