I’m back! And it’s Monday, so it’s time for another recipe! It’s funny, four years ago I discovered that a good way to ignore the passage of time is to be 8 1/2 months pregnant on your birthday. I wasn’t the least bit interested in turning 30 because I had a baby on the way Read More …
A few years back, I wondered if I could replicate the traditional Luau Pork in a crockpot, to serve at a Hawaiian themed party. Internet searches led me to a variation of this recipe, which is both wonderfully flavorful and wonderfully easy! The only catch is that it takes a lot of time. It stews Read More …
I love mushrooms! Especially cooked mushrooms. That flavor is just oh, so delectable! So last week I decided to pull out an old recipe, for Portobello Mushroom Burgers! Portobellos rival meat in price per pound, but I think they are lighter than a hamburger would be, and also form a better circle! The boys don’t Read More …

There are different ways to dress it up, and different proteins to add, but often kids, in particular, latch onto one type of pasta and aren’t Read More …
Sunday morning, I had no idea what recipe I was going to post on the blog today. I mulled it over until I realized we were almost out of Bisquick. Sunday is always pancake day, so I’d have to make pancakes from scratch. Bingo! I haven’t posted our egg-free pancake recipe on the blog yet! Read More …

Somebody is always asking if we’re going to make it. This year we made it for–you guessed it, Easter! Smoked Salmon Medley Ingredients: 8oz brick of Read More …
Hello friends! Let’s talk about frosting. I have turned into a frosting snob over the last few years. For Zax’s first birthday, I discovered several frosting recipes that I absolutely love, and now I can’t make myself go back to canned frosting. I didn’t really make this switch because of allergies–the store-bought ones are usually Read More …
I always figured meringue was something my egg-allergic kiddo would never have–until now! Read More …
In case you weren’t aware, Saturday was the Ultimate Pi Day! on 3.14.15 at 9:26:53am we enjoyed this Blueberry “Cheese”cake Pie pi = 3.14159265358979323846264338327950288419716939937510582097494459… We were going out on a limb on this one. We have a couple of recipes for cheesecake pies, and we have a ton of frozen blueberries. That part was easy Read More …
Even though I grew up with a severe tree nut allergy, that didn’t mean that I couldn’t enjoy peanuts. And I did enjoy peanuts! Perhaps not as much as my husband, but I routinely enjoyed lots of peanut products. Back in the days when hubby and I ate peanuts without a second thought, my mom Read More …
