I like to daydream about winning the lottery — how I would choose to spend and give away the money, and how winning wouldn’t change who I am. But alas, I’ve never purchased a lottery ticket in my life. And record Power Ball winnings pale in comparison to these little gems!

Carnitas – Mexican Pulled Pork
Food trucks are my newest fascination. How can someone – in very close quarters – make such incredible food? Quickly? While people stand there, waiting in line? Possibly in snow or pouring rain? Or suffocating heat? It is more than I can process…. There is a mexican food truck in our small town that serves … Read more Carnitas – Mexican Pulled Pork
Gluten Free Coffee Cake
Saturday. Sleeping late. Brunch. Family. Relaxing. Traditions. I’m all over that! At the end of a crazy, stressful week, there just isn’t anything better than a calm morning with delicious treats.
Buckwheat Buttermilk Waffles – Gluten Free
Like many families, we read the Little House books by Laura Ingalls Wilder. In fact recently, I’ve been reading “Farmer Boy” outloud to my husband. He loves to hear about the adventures of young Almanzo, and all the buckwheat cakes he ate. 😊
Peanut Butter Cookies – Flourless
Peanut butter. Served on celery with raisins – bumps on a log. Served on bread with jelly – PBJ. Served on banana with chocolate chips – Carlotta pretending to be healthy. Peanut butter served AS A COOKIE – I’m in heaven! I started experimenting with gluten free cookie recipes in the weeks leading up to … Read more Peanut Butter Cookies – Flourless
Mjuk Pepparkaka Swedish Gingerbread Gluten Free
Gingerbread is one of those smells that melts my heart. It brings up images of Laura Ingalls, Norman Rockwell, and Hallmark movies. All fall and winter my simmer pot is filled with cloves, cinnamon, and ginger. It fragrances the air without chemicals (read the label of your air freshener!) and adds humidity to combat dryness … Read more Mjuk Pepparkaka Swedish Gingerbread Gluten Free
Filmjölkslimpa Swedish Bread Gluten Free
Anyone who has traveled to Europe knows that the bread selection in every grocery store is vast and varied, putting American bakeries to shame. Bread is served as a hearty addition to basically every meal, topped with butter, a slice of cheese, and possibly a dollop of jam. Content. Happy. Yummmm. The challenge is to … Read more Filmjölkslimpa Swedish Bread Gluten Free
Rich Tomato, Vodka, and Roasted Garlic Sauce
Homemade pasta sauce puts every store bought-brand to shame. There truly is no way to replicate the combination you have simmering on the stovetop at home, and my family is always happy when a mega-batch of this sauce is ready to go.
Classic Egg Bake
So, it seems like “trending recipes” are all the rage. Not on this food blog!!! Seriously! Who are the people that conjur up these new trends? People without a normal life?
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.
