For most of us Christmas Day is filled with family, food, presents and laughter. At my house it also includes “craft time” with grandma. My mom always has some sort of craft for the girls... more
Before I took on this cookie I probably should have researched it a bit first. For any of you who are familiar with this famous New York cookie, you know that it’s supposed to be FLAT, yet somehow... more
Looking back, I should have made these more exciting with Champagne or something like that. Doesn’t “spritz” sound bubbly or effervescent or something fun?? Anywho – instead... more
I was completely inspired today when my co-worker and friend, Naomi (who also happens to be the creative talent behind Bakers Royale) brought in a low-fat pound cake. She has the right idea when she says “we need balance after the holidays”. ... »more
Hi Friends,If it’s one thing I have realized being gluten free is that gluten free cookie dough and cake batter does not taste good raw. Come on, you know you eat cookie dough. So this is how I’ve determined that cookies and cakes will... »more
So I was kind of craving meatloaf last night, but all I had was ground turkey and I didn’t want to wait for the whole loaf to cook, so I improvised. I paired them with sweet potato fries and there was dinner. Turkey Meatloaf Burgers Ingredients: 1... »more

I came across these roll-ups from Taste of Home and modified them a bit by adding my favorite vegetable – asparagus. Superbowl Snackers - Deli Swirlz Ingredients: 1/4 pound of turkey (about 6 slices) 1/4 pound of ham (about 6 slices) 1/4 roast beef (about 6 slices) 1 package of cream cheese, softened 2 teaspoons of dill weed 9 spears of asparagus 1-1/2 avocados Directions: Trim and steam asparagus spears for approximately 6 minutes. Mix cream cheese and dill weed together in a small bowl; set aside. In another bowl, smash-up the avocado. Take two pieces of roast beef and lay on cutting...
Everyone knows that Superbowl is about the food and the commercials. Right? Ok, well that’s what Superbowl is to me. But I’m somewhat tired of the same old, same old when it comes to SB food. I have a few recipes that are super simple to make and will break you free from the boring chicken wing streak you’ve been in for years. Hey, no offense to the chicken wing lovers out there, just thought it was time for a change in the line up. My personal favorite of this series is my Candied Meatballs. These tasty little nuggets are probably the most labor intensive of the group...
Hey everyone, I came across this today and I ended up signing up to participate in this trial. I go next Friday for my screening and then I guess they will let me know if I 100% qualify for the trial. They told me that it of course is NOT a cure for Celiac Disease, but that it would help with the cross contamination that happens when we eat at a restuarant, for example, and the “unknown” happens. I figured “what the heck”, the worst that could happen is nothing, but if something really great happens then I can say “I WAS PART OF THAT”. Check it out for...
Last night I was in the mood for something sweet but I wasn’t sure what I wanted. So I went to the grocery store and started searching the GF section and found these little 90 calorie packs of Chocolate Graham Cookies with Marshmallows and I was inspired. Cheesecake, I said to myself, but not a whole one, but nice bite size cupcake style. Now mind you it took all five packs in the box of the graham cookies to make the crust for these little morsels, but hey, you don’t have to eat all the cupcakes at one time. Plus as an added bonus, I added a little boozy-oozy to them to give them just a hint...
My friend at work Robb loves, loves, loves Bacon and for Christmas his granddaughter got him a book called I Love Bacon. It’s a collection of recipes from some of America’s favorite chefs all having bacon in them. It’s amazing that so many things can have bacon in them. Yay for bacon! This is a pretty labor intensive recipe, but I think you will really enjoy its complex tastes that come through with each bit. Make sure that you use a real maple syrup and not that kind that you use for your pancakes on Sunday morning – it will make a difference. Also, watch your brown...
