I am a very visual person — things need to LOOK good, but still please all my senses. I also like to experiment. But when I find something that works well, I repeat it over and over. When roasting a full turkey, this is my go-to method. It may be strange, but the results are amazing!
Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookies
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.
Chili Under Pressure
I love soups and stews. Comfort food to me is all about lots of veggies cooked in a flavourful broth, with some good lean meat thrown in. Forget pasta. Forget bread.

Spiced Cider Sangria
Every family has its quirks and weirdness. My family may just have more than our share, but I love them anyway! When serving spiced apple cider to our kids when they were younger, we called it “Spider”. SPIced ciDER. Get it? Mash-up of words? Of course, so why not create a delicious mash-up of beverages???
Easy Rum and Raspberry Sauce
It is very tempting to eat this sauce for dessert. And for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and a few snack times in between. It is incredible!
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!
Italian Seasoning Blend
Spice blends are so simple to make at home, and allow you the freedom to adjust flavours according to your likes and dislikes.
