Dear reader or fellow gluten-free lifestyler, Do you know what I ate two nights ago for the first time in eight years? Something so delicious and delectable that I practically made myself ill because I couldn’t resist and I ate THREE of them! I’m talking about homemade gluten-free chocolate-filled Croissants. Yeap. Catch you breath. I [...]

A day or two before Christmas, I opened my email to find a copy of a recipe from the Celiac forums (on Delphi). One that I was assured I would enjoy, love, and become another voice for WAHOO and GOODNESS in the Gluten-Free baking world. My friend was RIGHT ON! The original version of the [...]

Today is Winter Solstice. What are your plans? Do you and your family do anything to honor and stop and reflect on this the shortest day of the year? My love and I are off for a night of wishes, dreaming, walking, and enjoying the fresh beginning of all things new. With my family in [...]

Yes, they are naked. Really. It’s all a lesson in patience, I swear. Have you ever noticed how you can be the most patient of people for some things but then not five seconds later, your patience has melted and you stand frustrated and impatient? *That* would be me at the mere thought of decorating [...]

You’ll have to pardon the image today. I took a picture of the candy already in a baggie on the way to go bowling with the foreign exchange kids from school. It was their holiday treat/social and I was bringing them a bit of my family/home. ………………………………………………………………………………………. Here’s the deal: Every Christmas my husband’s office [...]

A big glorious, too-much-food-for-me Thanksgiving was kicked off with wonderful success. My sister (K3) and her family were here as well as a couple neighbors. It was a purely gluten-free affair.While the food was good, I was honestly much more content with the love, warmth, and conversations about the house. It was great fun to [...]

Who knew Costco sold sweet potatoes! OH! I’m in trouble now! Actually, it’s just going to give me a chance to try Mary Frances’s sweet potato fries (OMG) and a few other sweet potato dishes. We make some to-die-for candied/brandied sweet potatoes around here, but I’m trying to branch out. I’ve also been craving a [...]

A fun, last minute cooking party with sweet Gaby and Mohammed sent us running for the showers after a day of errand running. Then I found myself packing the oddest bunch of items into a grocery bag. I don’t think we quite brought over our fair share. I tend to lose myself a bit. Gaby, [...]
GF: Ginger, Apple and Cream Cheese Tart

Tonight we attended a potluck to welcome the foreign exchange students to our community. These events are always a tad, well… awkward for me. The foreign exchange kids all make something from their home countries to share and they are left wondering why the woman who encouraged them to cook won’t take a taste of [...]

Oh, I hate grading papers. Yeap. It’s true. It’s the bane of my existence as a teacher. While I love my job, grading papers is the absolute least favorite piece of it all. I was thinking tonight about teachers from my past and wondering how they handled the paper hellfire. Surely there must [...]

O.M.Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooodness! I figured it out. Inspired by a date with my Love, I have finally played long enough and fed my neighbors and co-workers enough custard that I feel like I can declare it: Recipe Success! And a new fantasy holiday dessert is born. Only one issue: my poor love doesn’t eat chocolate! Issue??? Wait! [...]
