Pizza Sauce

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 …

Sprouted Bean Potato Topper

I’ll confess that I love a hot lunch. Just throwing a sandwich together at lunchtime fills my stomach, but doesn’t satisfy me as much as something warm from the stove. Last week, I needed to use up some potatoes that were going to go bad, and also use up some of the monster kale plant Read More …

Snow Pea Salad

An old coworker of mine turned me on to this salad many years ago. Snow peas were one of the best things that grew in my (then) new garden, and I needed more ways to serve them. This recipe rocks, both in its simplicity and in its great taste! Snow Pea Salad Contains dairy Ingredients Read More …

Chicken, Black Bean, and Fennel Soup

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 …

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 …
