If you put sliced mushrooms in a salad, I will eat around them, and so will my kids. But dice the mushrooms up and add them to a dish and we will devour them every.single.time. Which is a good thing! Despite all the time we spend outside, my oldest son and I have low levels [...]
I have had the privilege of living in many states across America. Every time we move to a new location, I take pleasure in learning about the history of the area and trying the foods of that region. Which is why I developed a taste for sun tea with hummus on rice cakes in California, sweet tea [...]
On Christmas morning, I decided to use our leftover Honey Glazed Ham to make a fast and easy Ham and Broccoli Frittata. When my daughter saw what I was going to do, she said, “You can’t use broccoli, broccoli isn’t a breakfast food”. When I asked her what I should use instead she said Brussels Sprouts. Seriously?

I decided that snickerdoodle doughnuts were a good idea, but I wanted to modify my original recipe to make them a little less like a tire shaped cookie and a little more like a doughnut. These doughnuts are only slightly less indulgent than cookies and should still be regarded as a dessert rather than a breakfast item! [...]
Carmelitas have chocolate, nuts, and caramel sandwiched between two layers of cookie that are similar to shortbread. You can find my recipe for Gluten-Free Carmelitas at Gluten-Free Flavor-Full. You do not have to buy caramel sauce to make this recipe. You can easily make your own caramel sauce. If you are making a dairy-free version [...]

The holiday now falls on the first Friday of June. Doughnuts are one of my favorite desserts to make because they are so fast and easy to make.They [...]
