I purchased a set of football cookie cutters a few years ago, and I decided to break them out again for our annual Superbowl party, since our home team THE DENVER BRONCOS made it to the Superbowl!!! Rather than make brown or chocolate frosting, I decided to make chocolate cut-out cookies so that the cookies Read More …
I got this recipe out of a magazine a while back, and it is scrum-diddle-e-umptious! If you’re looking for a break from plain-old red sauce, cheese, and pepperoni, this pizza hits the spot! Whip one up for your next pizza night, or even for the Superbowl! Shrimp Pizza Contains shellfish (shrimp) Mine also contains wheat Read More …
I found this recipe on a box of my kids’ favorite flavor of Triscuits: Rosemary and Olive Oil. Since the kids like the crackers so much, I decided to give it a try (modifying it for allergens, of course.) They turned out really good! Rosemary Chicken Contains wheat** Also may contain soy–the cracker ingredients say Read More …
If you like Italian-style salad dressings, you need to give this dressing a try! Personally, I have a big problem with salt. I call myself a salt-aholic–I’ll munch the stuff by itself and love every lick. I’ve even wondered (but never tested) whether I might process sodium differently than others and may need more of it.

I found this recipe in Parents Magazine a few years back. I had to modify it to edit out egg and for our personal tastes, and it’s now a popular dish in our household. This is a great way to make your own fish sticks, without all the extra junk that’s in frozen ones! It Read More …
This pair of recipes came out of the need to provide safe food for my family at two different events. The first was for Zax’s class Gingerbread Party. The sign-up sheet came home, asking for parents to provide icing or decorations for the party. I signed up for icing and then chatted with the teacher Read More …
My pumpkin posts are extending into December! I first made this recipe a long time ago with pureed sweet potato, but when trying to decide what to do with the mountain of pumpkin in my freezer, I realized that these biscuits would probably taste really good with pumpkin. And I was right! Not only have Read More …
Egg Nog. It’s a tradition for many at this time of year. I’ll be one of the first to say that I love the flavors, the creamy richness, and the decadence of eggnog. Sharing a cool glass with a loved one while bundled up in a cozy sweater is a quintessential Christmas feeling. I even Read More …
I’m continuing my pumpkin junkie posts with another pumpkin recipe, this one for a spicy, savory Pumpkin Soup! Most pumpkin soups are sweet, but this one isn’t, which is great if you don’t want sweet for your main course. Adjust the amount of hot sauce and chili powder depending on how much you can take Read More …
I believe I’ve mentioned before that I love pumpkins. Growing them, carving them, eating them! Oh, this time of year and pumpkins! Whether you like to carve pumpkins or cook their flesh into puree, you wind up with a lot of pumpkin seeds. You can save some to plant, but otherwise you’re mostly throwing them Read More …
