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 …
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 …
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 …

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 …
