Holiday Green Beans
No, not THAT holiday green bean dish that shall not go mentioned that has canned soup and fried onions on it. Yuck. No thanks. No offense to those of you who like your green beans smothered in that, but I'll stick to this version of my mom's green beans. Not...
Smashed Sweet Potatoes (Gluten-Free, Vegan)
Ok, I'm going to admit something...I had all of these holiday dishes photographed and done 2 years ago...but my son was a baby only around 7 weeks old, and I got too ambitious with thinking I'd get them out then. Did I do it last year? No, that slipped by too. ...
Holiday Stuffing (Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free)
STUFFING.....who's with me?!? Seriously, I love stuffing and I am probably half made of Stove Top stuffing given how much my mom made it for us growing up. Sigh...that red 80's box of Stove Top brings back memories. But let's get real...I think we don't want to eat...
Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free Vegan Pumpkin Pie
As far as I'm concerned, the only reason food-wise for Thanksgiving and other holidays is for PUMPKIN PIE!!!! I grew up with the Mrs. Smith's pumpkin pies, with tons of Cool Whip on them, of course. Well, now that my 40 year old body does not love dairy nor gluten,...
Roasted Herb Turkey Breast
Do you only have to cook for a couple people or a small family, and don't want to mess with cooking an entire turkey? I don't blame you. I still have never cooked a full turkey and I'm not sure I ever will. Many stores sell a turkey breast, which is certainly large...
Making progress, one small step at a time…
I admit it...I've been a bit of a perfectionist, and I secretly expect myself to be the A+ student all the time, delighting my teachers and fellow human beings...even though I was never an A+ student when I was a student. Reality check: While I'm smart and talented,...
Sausage, Sweet Potato, and Red Lentil Soup
As the fall weather starts, I am instantly drawn to soups...even if it's not so chilly outside yet! One of my favorite soups that I make many times over is my Sausage and Lentil Soup, found here, every now and then, I either run out of ingredients for it, or I feel...
Following your intuition, no matter what
This week I did something that many people may think would be something they would never do. Something that the ego of most might fight. Something that, to be quite honest, I didn't think I would end up doing. In January, as I've written about before, my business...
Healthy Valentine’s Day Recipes to Enjoy
It seems that my email inbox gets flooded this time of year with all sorts of unhealthy suggestions for cookies, cakes, chocolate everything...and that's how we're supposed to show ourselves and our loved ones true love? By giving them something that will probably...
Rolling with change…
I've been away from my website for almost 3 months, and some of that was intentional, and a lot of it was not. I had a bunch of technical problems that caused my website to be down for most, if not all, of this year so far, and we only were able to fix it today. I...
