Gluten-Free IS good!

17-Jun-10

Okay, well, now that the craziness of life has somewhat subsided (for the moment!), I’m back. I have a delicious new recipe, but that will have to wait for tomorrow. Right now, I have a glowing review from one of my favorite people/baker/graphic designer (she’s pretty awesome), Marilla, from Cupcake Rehab. She was one of [...]

G-Free IS yummy. Wanna try?

30-Apr-10

Have any of you ever eaten, or “gone,” gluten-free? Let me tell you, I was never one of those people. I know some people have to eat gluten-free for medical reasons, be it an allergy, or celiac disease, or something else. I LOVE BREAD. I love pasta, I love bagels. Gluten-free was definitely NOT for [...]

Barbecue..just like mama used to make..

02-Apr-10

Well, the last two weeks have been pretty difficult for all of us. But, it’s back to the grind. Brett’s back to work, and I’m back to, well, mom. It’s been a whirlwind and hopefully things will get easier. I have found my way back to the kitchen…. armed with a handful of my MIL’s [...]

Two years ago a princess was born

14-Jan-10

Well, my first order of business…. Happy Birthday Madeline! Yup, my precious little girl is 2 today! I can’t believe it. I can’t believe I’m the mommy of a 2 year old – more so, I can’t believe I’m so lucky that she’s mine. She’s still (I think) too young to understand her birthday, but [...]

Mac and cheese…a la… me?

08-Jan-10

Mac and cheese… one of my favorite foods.  I grew up on Velveeta, from my mom, and yes, ate my way through my fair share of Easy Mac when I was just a broke student at the University of Scranton, but I’m way past that. I’ve tried a few different recipes for homemade macaroni and [...]

Shepherd's Pie that sticks to you

06-Jan-10

As much as I love the warmer weather, I have to say there really is no bigger food comfort than a warm dish that makes you feel cozy on a freezing day. You know, those foods that feel like they stick to your insides and make you feel wonderful and satisfied and afterwards, all you [...]

A tribute to Mom for her birthday

02-Jan-10

Happy Birthday to my wonderful Mom today! I’m sorry I couldn’t be with her today, but I’ll be seeing her in a week or two so that will have to do. In the meantime, in honor of my mom (who’s a fantastic cook) please, the next time you make pasta, try out her sauce recipe. [...]

Happy 2010!

02-Jan-10

Happy New Year (and new decade, for that matter!). It’s been a whirlwind of a week here and I have so much to do, but I did want to share a few things to start the new year in a great (tasting) way! A little back story on the first dish, well, dessert. As some [...]
