Comfort food always makes me feel better. To me, nothing is more comforting than a big bowl of pasta.  Last week I had a case of the winter blues and this was the perfect dish to make. Last year I went to Indianapolis for Superbowl weekend courtesy of Red Gold Tomatoes. It was one of [...]

I have found the ultimate healthy snack! You can eat a whole bowl and it won’t make you gain weight. But if you do eat the whole bowl, it might give you a tummy ache and and some gas. So I would advise to only eat half the bowl. Not that I would know about [...]

Gluten Free Mushroom Cheddar Pizza & Gluten Free Entertaining

Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread

September 10, 2012

My ten year old son is a great kid.  He gets good grades, gets along well with his sister and even cleans his room when I tell him to. But he won’t eat his veggies. No matter how many times I have him try the good-for-you green stuff , I can’t get him to eat [...]

Tomato Ricotta Tart

August 23, 2012

I am trying to enjoy every last drop of summer so the other day my son and I went crabbing at a county park about an hour from my house. We caught some crabs but only one was big enough to be a keeper so we didn’t take any home to cook. What I did [...]
