Homemade Fondant

I’ve never been a huge fan of fondant icing. It’s probably more of a texture thing than anything, but I prefer cake icings to be rich and creamy, and generally more smooth than fondant. However, when it comes to decorating cakes, fondant can go to so many more places than regular icing, which is why Read More …

Gluten Free Baked Doughnut Goodies

Yesterday, hubby and I attended our first expo! We had a booth at the Incredible Edible Gluten Free Food Fair from Denver Celiacs. It was quite the learning experience, and we had a lot of fun. In honor of potential new followers from the Fair, today’s recipe is another one that hubby wrote up for Read More …

Grilled S’Mores Burritos

This recipe is in our lives because of Hubby. He found it in some sort of parenting magazine while waiting to get his hair cut a few years ago, and he decided to surprise us with it. It was a hit, of course! (That’s probably a given any time chocolate chips and marshmallows are involved.) Read More …

Honey Garlic Pork Chops

We’ve had uncharacteristically wet weather in Colorado this year, but the last few weeks have warmed up more like usual. And dry, hot weather is a perfect time to barbecue! I pulled out one of my favorite recipes last week and boy, it had been too long since I’d made it! I’m eager to share Read More …

Green Bean and Corn Salad

We needed a quick side dish and vegetable this week, and my Green Bean and Corn Salad did the trick! It’s best when the beans and corn are fresh, of course, but it works well with frozen veggies in a pinch, which is what I did this time. I love that it takes some very Read More …

Crockpot Ham and Bean Soup

Warming, rich and tasty, this Crockpot Ham and Bean soup tastes like you spent all day in the kitchen. But with the magic of a slow cooker, you don’t have to! It’s also a great way to use a ham bone! Read More …

Chocolate Chocolate Chip Doughnuts!

  UPDATED with better photos and recipe card! My husband Dean has taken over the blog today! Or more accurately, he offered to write a guest post now and then to free up some time for me. I gladly accepted! Dean is my partner in all things, especially in Allergy Superheroes. Without him, I don’t Read More …

Greek ‘n Twirls Salad

This pasta salad is a favorite of hubby’s and mine. The chopping is a little time consuming, but not too bad and it is SOOOO worth it. It’s also easy to substitute ingredients or personalize with veggies that your family enjoys. Our boys still don’t like too many ingredients mixed together, but we’re working on Read More …

Polish Sausage Soup

This soup is an old favorite. It’s certainly not the healthiest soup in the world, but as long as you can handle dairy, it sure is tasty! It has a beer and cheddar cheese soup base, livened up with some spices and kielbasa sausage. Great for cold days, but it cooks fast enough to be Read More …

Egg-Free Fried Donuts

I’ve posted donut recipes before, but so far, all have been for baked donuts. Hubby has gone to town with the new donut pan we received a few months ago, and so donuts have become familiar around our house. But baked donuts still aren’t quite the same thing as traditional fried donuts. Yes, fried are Read More …
