We were just given about 14 pints of blueberries! What a treat! I froze some to use for pancakes, muffins, cobbler and smoothies for the future, but since they were fresh I wanted to make a cobbler… NOW! We had it last night for dessert and it was delish! Continue reading “Blueberry Cobbler”
I’m always looking for more breakfast ideas besides oatmeal and eggs as far as quick and easy. We have a few other muffin recipes and this one has been a hit! Continue reading “Almond Flour Blueberry Muffins”
This recipe is AMAZING (in my opinion)! Dear hubby wasn’t as much of a fan, but he really likes banana bread with LOTS of sugar and LOTS of chocolate chips. So this recipe certainly isn’t the “banana cake” that he likes! I still thought it was so good and I’ve made it twice this week! The kids really like it too! We had an overabundance of over ripe bananas and this was a great use for them! I’ve had so many recently that I think I have two gallon sized Ziploc bags in the freezer full and ready for smoothies! I didn’t want to add to the overcrowding issue in my freezer and was determined to find another use that tasted great! Continue reading “Banana Bread: Grain-free, sugar-free, dairy-free”
My mom got me a bushel of peaches last week and I was so excited! I still am! They are so good! So sweet and juicy! Perfect for a cool summer dessert! If you’ve never had an orchard peach you are missing out! I purchased a few peaches as a treat last week from the grocery store and it was such a disappointment. They were hard, grainy and had no flavor. These were just the opposite! Continue reading “Canning – Part I – Peaches”
I just found this recipe last week in the Everyday magazine by Rachael Ray. This is a baked dessert from Puerto Rico and it is out of this world! Continue reading “Cazuela Baked Apples”
Who doesn’t like strawberry shortcake?
My son’s birthday was last week and of course we had to have cake! I told him I would make him special cupcakes and asked what he wanted. Of course any 4 year old little boy is going to want a robot right? How does he even know what that is? Oh well… So here is a photo of what was produced with some help from the book [amazon_link id=”054724181X” target=”_blank” container=”” container_class=”” ]”What’s New, Cupcake?”[/amazon_link] that I’ve talked about before.

I think this blog will quickly be a lot about food. That is our lives these days! A few weeks before Thanksgiving, last year, Brian was told that he was intolerant to corn, soy, dairy and gluten and he should also not be eating any grains or sugars. He has had a history of high cholesterol and triglycerides since before we got married. Since he is adopted we don’t know any of his family history so therefore don’t really know if this is genetic or not. Since we got married in 2005 we have eaten pretty healthy compared to mainstream Americans, but for him that hasn’t been enough. We have since changed our diet significantly and you will be able to enjoy some of the recipes we have worked so hard to modify for him to enjoy as well. The kids and I still eat dairy and grains, but I’m trying to make healthier choices there as well. Continue reading “Banana Boats”
