It doesn't get much better than having fresh out of the oven steaming, gooey, chocolate chip cookies. Dipping them in milk is just the icing on the cake. Then to go on to tell you that these cookies are virtually guilt free... I don't know what that would even be equivalent to.
The pizza is a special of mine! I used to make it with all gluten included, but now I've had to change some of the ingredients to suit our life style better. It still taste just as good though! The first time I ate this was in high school when a bunch of my friends ordered some. I thought it was so good even though I was very skeptical at hearing about this.
Ahhh, fall is in the air of our small mid-western town. With cooler temps and rainy days in the forecast, it seems like the perfect time to make use of some of our CSA favorites: leeks, delicata squash and broccoli. Combined in a light soup, these farm fresh faves are the hit of any rainy day menu.
The secret of this recipe is in the delicate, sweet, 'delish' flavor of roasted delicata squash. It takes a bit more time to roast the squash, but ohhh it's worth it for the added flavor. This mom made use of the baking time to get in a quick run before adding the finishing touches.
This is just a short and sweet post about some great gluten free pancakes that Adam and I like to enjoy for any meal of the day! I am lazy when it comes to making them and buy a pre-made flour mix instead of all the individual flours and mixing them together but it is so amazing!!
The reason I say Wisconsin is because I was born and raised there... but also because Wisconsin is known for beer and cheese! So yes this is specifically Wisconsin soup ;) Adam came home one night and said that he wanted to try making cheese soup. We looked at some recipes, made our own adjustments, and created this:
We've had a really busy week and we just haven't had time to go to the grocery store! Our refrigerator is very sparse looking. Consequently, I took out a half a package of bacon in the morning and figured by dinner time I'd think of something to make with it for a meal. Well I knew we had some eggs and a few veggies, but I didn't want to make the typical scrambled eggs with veggies and bacon or omelet and bacon so I came up with this:
I have to give my aunt Sue credit for this recipe. The first time I ever had a Mojito was at her house. I was lucky because she has a beehive and a beautiful garden. Therefore 2 of the ingredients came fresh right from her back yard! Which is why I'm sure it tasted amazing! That is the secret too to having it be the best mojito! So, I highly recommend that you use local non-proccessed honey and mint. The best place to find these?? Your local farmer's market of course!
One of Adam's favorite desserts is cheesecake, and he's obsessed with all things citrusy as well! So, I made the ultimate dessert of gluten free double lemon cheesecake. This was my first time ever making a cheesecake and I am very proud of how well it all turned out!
This is one of my new favorite dishes! I was never much of a sea food fan or a mushroom lover, but for some reason the combination of all these things together just creates a mouth watering meal. Fish is a healthy food to include in your diet and is something that we strive to consume about a half pound of oily fish such as salmon each week. Oily fish like salmon, sardines, and anchovies are a great source of long chain omega-3 fatty acids that help to balance out omega-6 levels in the tissues of the body. It is a good idea to avoid alcohol when consuming fish because mixing alcohol with polyunsaturated fats can cause peroxidization which can result in highly toxic compounds that can damage DNA and cause atherosclerosis. There is a lot of effort that goes into this meal so the directions are a bit lengthy, but just hang in there because the results are worth it!
