I love my crockpot! It’s so nice to dump all the ingredients in one big pot and let time do the cooking all day. I’ll use it any time I get the chance! Another thing I love is pulled pork. I’ve shared my Hawaiian Pork recipe before, so today I’ll share how to make a 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.

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 …
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 …

I’ve been making homemade pizza a lot lately. I thought it would be fun to make my own crust, but that meant I also needed my own toppings as well. We had a few jars and frozen packets of sauce, but I thought most of those were too sweet. Then I remembered this recipe, which Read More …
I invented a soup! Hubby’s parents bought into their community garden this summer, so we’ve been reaping the benefits of their growth (which is great since I’ve been neglecting my garden and it’s been responding in kind.) Funnily, they planted all sorts of vegetables that they’d never eaten before, and they’ve been sharing these new Read More …
Last summer, I had a “Sweet 100” tomato plant that provided us with so many buckets of cherry tomatoes that we couldn’t even eat them all before the fruit flies ate them too and made them rot. Suffice it to say, we had this salad a lot last year! This year, I didn’t purchase tomato Read More …
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 …
