One of the best memories I have is coming home from school – even as a teenager – to the smell of freshly baked cookies. My mother would sit at the table with us, pour a glass of milk, and listen as we chatted about our day.

Gluten Free Brownies
I should have been a boy scout. As the middle of 3 girls, I considered myself a tomboy. Of course, life wasn’t very rough and rugged while we flitted from music lesson to art course to language class, even though I could play a mean game of kickball. But I still live by the boy scout motto: BE PREPARED.
Roasted Garlic and Spaghetti Squash Lasagna Boats
I am so in love with these! What began as a fun experiment with a friend turned into a feast that will be repeated over and over again! My sister cooks spaghetti squash in the slow cooker – super easy! Because I wanted to roast garlic and bake bacon at the same time, I roasted … Read more Roasted Garlic and Spaghetti Squash Lasagna Boats
Chicken & Mushroom Stroganoff
Where do you find inspiration for the meals you create? Something you ate at a restaurant? Something you found online? Or saw on a TV show?
Rhubarb and Raspberry Crumble – Paleo-style
True confession here: I am not a huge fan of dessert. My husband grew up with a mother who baked pies, cakes, and cookies daily, and each meal – and every cup of coffee – was accompanied by some wonderful homemade treat. Honestly, I would rather eat a candy bar filled with tons of sugar, fat, and preservatives than a slice of homemade pie. But that may change!
Chicken Salad with a Taste of Mexico
I seem to be hooked on cumin right now. There’s something perfectly suitable for warm weather in the nutty, earthy, peppery taste of cumin. It’s not an in-your-face flavour, but packs a little heat in a nicely subdued package.
Easy Broiled Tuna Melts
There are some things I love about food blogs: the writing is captivating, the photography is stunning and can cause me to wipe drool from my chin, and the recipes creatively use ingredients in new and unusual ways. But let’s get real here! That is not the way I cook on a daily basis. Nor is it the way my family wants to eat regularly. Seriously! Pickle Brine Chicken Tortilla Soup???
Gluten Free Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
Are you okay? Did you fall off your chair? Yes, this is a cookie recipe from a devoted NON-baker. Feel free to stop laughing any time now… Both of my parents were educators, which meant we had nearly 3 months every year to travel, explore, and experience new things. The summer of 1967, we toured … Read more Gluten Free Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
Sun-Dried Tomato & Rosemary Gluten Free Bread
Sometimes its seems as if I could live on bread and water. Give me water with cucumber and lemon, and this sun-dried tomato and fresh rosemary bread, and that’s all I need for days at a time.
Swedish Kladdkaka (Sticky Cake) Gluten Free
It seems like every child in Sweden is capable of making kladdkaka on their own by age 8. Kids grow up helping Mom and Grandma bake this wonderful and simple treat. In fact, most people I know have made kladdkaka so many times that they don’t even need to measure the ingredients.
