Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Dream

Since I’ve been trying to go gluten-free these days, I’m looking up recipes from the pioneers that have gone before me into the world of gluten free baking. I’ve been finding some really great recipes. One of those I tried tonight – chocolate chip cookies. Uh huh. I used this recipe from over at theContinue reading “Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Dream”

World-Class Real Food Sweets

In my transition to eating real food I’ve given up a lot of unhealthy, processed foods. Many of these are sweets. Oh, those cookies and frozen confections that once held me captive…no longer. Bewitched, bothered and bewildered no more! Honestly, since I’ve been feeding myself as God intended for us to eat, I no longer crave orContinue reading “World-Class Real Food Sweets”

Between my CSA box and my inability to stay away from the Suwanee farmer’s market on Saturday mornings, my fridge and counter tops were burstingContinue reading “Produce Panic Attack”

Blueberry Muffins, Take Two

After Sunday’s muffin disaster, I was bound and determined to conquer the blueberry muffin. I used the same recipe from How to Cook Everything, but made some changes to my technique. First, I got some baking powder that was NOT EXPIRED (recommended). Second, I made sure I did less stirring. Third, I did all regularContinue reading “Blueberry Muffins, Take Two”

Red Snapper, Kung Faux Pas and Summer Salads

A few weeks ago a friend of ours went deep sea fishing. It sounds interesting, but not sure if I could do it (physically or mentally). However, when he offered us some of his haul, I was more than happy to take it off his hands. We scored some red snapper, amberjack and mackerel. A fewContinue reading “Red Snapper, Kung Faux Pas and Summer Salads”
