My husband loves Snickers Bars. You probably won’t believe me when I tell you that his breakfast each morning is usually a half a Snickers and a Banana. Really.
So, for this birthday (which falls on Halloween - and for those who know him well, this explains a lot!), I decided to incorporate his favorite candy into the dessert which [...]

For a quick bread, this is pretty low fat. The original recipe comes from a King Arthur Flour Cook Book that’s been in my pantry for years. I’ve used low fat Buttermilk in place of full fat Sour Cream which insures the bread remains moist despite only 1/3 cup oil in the batter.
I was going to make Pumpkin [...]

I was wrong.
When I’d posted the Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins recipe a few days ago, I’d said:
“I did alter the spices in the recipe, since it calls for not just Cinnamon and Nutmeg (which are also used to flavor my traditional Pumpkin Bread) but also Ginger, Cloves and Molasses.”
But my traditional Pumpkin Bread recipe does NOT have Cinnamon [...]

Warning: After tasting this, you will never buy the jarred stuff again!
Thank goodness, it’s easy enough to make your own! Since it’s Apple Season, it’s inexpensive to make as well!
You might even be able to get some damaged apples for a song this time of year and since you’ll be peeling them, who cares about [...]

Well, another very busy workweek is behind me, and I’m feeling the guilt of not having blogged since last weekend’s Layered Fiesta Dip. It’s not that I haven’t cooked this week, but I haven’t made many new things and certainly haven’t had any free time to talk about it!
Early this week though, before the mad rush [...]

When I saw the photo of this cheesecake over at The Pioneer Woman Cooks, I just knew I’d be converting this recipe to Gluten Free, even though I’d never made a cheesecake before. Although I wouldn’t say that my results were a total success – only because there are still a few changes I’d make [...]

Tonight, we’ll be camping out for the first time this summer. We’re not really going anywhere, since we rarely like to leave The Compound, so we’ll instead be setting up our tent right here in the yard.
No camping experience would be complete without a bonfire, and no bonfire would be complete without S’mores!
So, today I’m making Gluten Free [...]

I’ve been trying to think of somthing new to do with all this Zucchini that is overtaking my kitchen. We have made my Zucchini Au Gratin a few times over the past week, and although it IS tasty, we are ready for something new. I gave away a big bag of Zucchini to a friend today, but I still [...]

(Edit: I’ve chosen this Peach Cobbler photo as my entry into Simply…Gluten Free’s GF Food Photo Contest. I’m anxious to see all the tasty-looking photos of Gluten Free recipes when Carol posts the round-up on September 30th! Wish me luck!!!)
During a recent trip to my local fruit market, I found peaches on sale. The sign actually said “We’re Practically Giving These [...]

I adapted this recipe from a regular wheat flour recipe I’ve been using for years. When I first mastered the Cream Puff, I felt like such a gourmet. But this really is a simple recipe with a very short list of ingredients. It just takes a few steps to get to the finished product; golden brown [...]
