Here I am again posting something way later than I wanted!  If there is one thing you should know about me it's that I never can do something on time when I originally want things to be done.  I do a couple of things… I procrastinate a lot and I get easily distracted.  For instance, I was distracted by my gluten free cinnamon...

Marry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone!!  We've got a little Christmas special for you.  Delicious homemade gluten free cinnamon rolls!  This was a really fun recipe to make because I had a lot of extra help and cooks in the kitchen with me instead of the usual when I am alone by myself.  There may have been many different opinions, coming from...

The next two blog posts are gluten free desserts that I was supposed to bring to my family's Christmas party.  However, as is commonplace in Wisconsin...the weather had to get in the way and ruin those plans!  On the bright side, if it had not ruined my plans then I wouldn't have these delicious looking pictures to be able to write this blog...

Hey everyone!  I just wanted to do a quick blog with a recipe for an all purpose flour mix that I use for most of my baking.  In the past, I have linked to a flour mix that I used in a pie recipe but this one is a little more well rounded and able to be used for all types of recipes....

The way this recipe came to be is really an interesting story.  I started this recipe with every intent of making fried cinnamon apples.  I was unsure of how it would turn out from the beginning because the recipe I was kind of basing mine off of the picture didn't match what the recipe itself was describing. ...

For all those meat lovers out there this dish is a must!  It would be good as an appetizer, part of a breakfast, side of a dinner, lunch, or heck just about anything really!  It requires virtually no prep-time and little attention while cooking.  As long as you have some good sausage, some good bacon, and some good mustard then are set! ...

A few weeks ago we bought too many bananas for us to eat.  Two of them where getting really ripe, too ripe to eat.  I've been wanting to make banana bread for a while now so it was the perfect situation.  I put them in the freezer and thats where they sat until this past weekend! ...

Hey Everybody! Adam here…I guess that means it is my turn to write the blog post.  I feel a little dishonest writing this post because Nicole took such nice photos for this recipe. She also did a great job doing the actual cooking of the food. The only thing that I did was beg for stuffed peppers, and then eat them. I guess...

Adam and I were at Thanksgiving with my family's side this year and my aunt Sue brought some honey, potatoes, and carrots fresh from her back yard.  So of course I had to get a jar of honey and a bag filled with potatoes and carrots.  Not to mention these carrots were huge because at first I thought they were sweet potatoes! ...

It's just been one of those weeks where you seem to be putting all this effort and work into things but it still feels like you are getting nothing done. We've all had those weeks and if you haven't then you are one lucky duck. ...

Just because we don't eat gluten doesn't mean that we still can't have sandwich type foods.  Sandwiches are so easy to have for lunch or dinner and some people eat them daily.  In most cases you can simply replace the bread with some lettuce.   ...

Thanksgiving is right around the corner! Well actually it's tomorrow and I don't know about you and your family's traditions but we always come together on thanksgiving.  When we do there is always one thing we always have and that is a delicious sweet cranberry sauce. ...

I've been wanting to do these for a long time and I just didn't have the time to make them.  Not much sounds better than brownies and cream cheese though so I just couldn't hold off any longer!  This recipe actually uses a lot of ingredients.  So, if you are thinking that you have some cream cheese in your fridge that you don't...

This post is going to be a little different than what is normally expected.  Meaning no there will be no recipe.  If you were looking for a recipe and don't want to hear me ramble about the way we eat then please read no further! ;) ...

I try to do all my food making on the weekends during the day so I can get some great natural lighting.  So, on Friday I was talking with my good friend and coworker trying to brain storm ideas on what I should make this weekend.  I had mentioned that Adam wanted meatloaf and she had shared that she made them in a...

There aren't many things that beat a nice crunchy delicious chip!  Whether you like veggie chips, potato chips, or tortilla chips.  They are great on their own or they are great when dipped into the plethora of dip options that we have today. ...

My boyfriend and I were in the grocery store one weekend and we saw some lemon grass.  I was curious about it so I asked him if he knew what you did with it.  He said that people cook fish with among other things.  So, we thought what the heck...we will try something new and get it. ...

Making your own mayo is wayyyy easy and the best part of course is being able to control all of the ingredients that go into it.  You won't contain any nasty preservatives, gross oils or words that require a PhD in molecular biology to comprehend.  The hardest part to this recipe is the tedious task of pouring the oil slowly. ...

Yes you've read the title correctly.  These ribs were made in a crock pot and they are actually pretty decent!  If you are anything like me when I first heard of this idea you are thinking that there is no way that these are any good and if they are it's just plain wrong!  But.... you've gotta try it. ...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

We all get the desire to have a little something to munch on while cooking dinner. Especially if it's something you prepare then throw into the oven for half an hour or more. Well it doesn't get much easier, delicious, or healthier than a Caprese Salad!  ...

This was my first time trying my hand at canning and I have to admit that it could have gone better. Because of Adam’s and I dietary preferences I found it difficult to find a recipe without cornstarch or ClearJel which is like a modified version of cornstarch. I did eventually find one with gelatin and I had very high hopes for it...

This was so good. I can't wait to devour the leftovers. Lately, we have been trying more and more traditional Irish dishes at home and when out to eat. One dish that I have fallen in love with is Shepard's Pie. It is a fairly simple recipe that has room for variability and play. Traditionally, it is ground beef with spices, peas, carrots...

As most of you know yesterday marked the first official day of fall. When I think of fall, I think of cool fresh air, beautiful colors, and of course apple orchards! So, I thought it would be appropriate to make this first recipe post a posting of a gluten free, crumble top, apple pie.            The boyfriend and I had the chance to visit...
