I made THE MOST amazing Banana Bread I have ever made. Period. And I've made banana bread following many, many recipes: some good, some awful, some ok, some healthy, some full of fat. But this time, I hit the jackpot. And its gluten free and could easily be dairy free but I have this love affair with butter that I just can't shake. I stumbled on this delicious recipe while browsing

I've fallen in love with a new cookbook, Cooking for Isaiah.  The author, Silvana Nardone, is in tight competition with Nigella Lawson as being my favorite kitchen diva ever.  (Sorry, Nigella, I need to learn to cook GF and then I'll come back to my beloved cookbooks of yours.) And because Silvana has put together such an amazing cookbook that is full of diary free and gluten free

It's obviously been a while since I've posted to this blog.  There are lots of reasons. Lots of excuses.  But now,  I'm back. And hopefully frequent. Going forward there's a whole new twist on my posts....we've gone Gluten Free.  I'm already Dairy Free and have 1 child who can't take much lactose, now I'm adding Gluten Intolerance to my list and early stage Celiac to the kid list.

Snow outside my window always creates a desire for a cup of tea and something sweet.  And baking. Something to fill the oven with tempting aromas. Like pie. Like when you crave pecan pie during the holidays, but pecan pie is almost always so sickening sweet that you can hardly finish a piece of pie....well, these little morsels are just the perfect bite size treat. They melt in your mouth and

Call it Dressing or call it Stuffing...but whatever you do, be sure you haven't overlooked a post I made last December.  With company and holiday meals in the limelight, now is the time to revisit this one:  Slow Cooker Stuffing.  It's always a favorite at our house.  Hope your Thanksgiving has been as blessed as mine!  Laurie

I'm so happy to finally be sitting down and posting a recipe to this blog! With our move (twice) and all the unpacking and the adjusting (and not adjusting) to new schools...new recipes, cooking full meals, photography and blogging have been out of my reach.  I'm oh so full of relief to see the light of hope and get myself back into the kitchen on a routine.

It SNOWED & school is canceled!!  I'm dedicating this recipe to our new pastor and family who just moved here from San Diego and are loving all of the snow.   I grew up in snow country and we would make this every year though I don't think we ever had an official "recipe" for it.   I still live in the Pacific NW, but we don't get as much snow on this side of the mountain and its not a winter

I searched for "apple" recipes on our blog the other day and nothing showed up!!!    Apples just say "autumn" to me, so not only do we have them as our main fruit staple right now, but I've been making tons of different apple recipes.   I guess I'm on a big apple kick right now.  This one turned out well and was easy, not to mention budget friendly, so had to add it to the list of recipes to

Goodbye high-end restaurants! Hello backyard BBQ!  This is one amazingly easy, fantastic recipe, and it quickly made it into my Favorite Recipes Cookbook. We make this at least every other week in summer time.  For our family, THIS IS summer at it's best:  the smell of seared seafood on the grill, the taste of a chilled wine on your tongue, the sounds of children playing, the warm rays of

This is my new favorite summer salad recipe.  I had some leftover grilled chicken, and noticed a jar of wheat berries in my pantry. So I googled "Wheat Berries" on Food Network and came up with a recipe from Healthy Appities with Ellie Kriger. Of course I changed a few things, but I still need to give her the credit for getting me started.  The first time I made it my fridge was empty of

Its mid-July, raspberry season in my region of the Pacific Northwest, and this year I am terribly sad because the fabulous organic raspberries which I lovingly grew and tended the past five & a half years are now miles and miles away awaiting a new owner, and I am in a rental house longing for the joy of fresh picked raspberries every morning.  I comfort myself knowing that a few

It's been a while since I've posted because our family moved the middle of June. So in the midst of boxes to pack and unpack, and sunshine finally arriving and my kids wanting to be outside, cooking hasn't been a priority for me.  I've been relying on tried and true, easy grilling recipes, salads, and lots of fruits.  I love the Farmers Market and can hardly wait for each Wednesday to arrive.

We recently celebrated my sons birthday with a Lego and Star Wars theme, since those seem to be his current obsessions. Because June is a crazy month for us, we kept his theme very simple this year: cake and a treat.   The cake was an easy idea: a giant Lego. The treat:  a Lego pop with Star Wars in mind. If you are looking for fabulous cake pops, check out Bakerella's site.  I've

This is one of my favorite dishes. Ever.  I had my first meal of lamb when I was in Australia and I was immediately hooked. I love the rich, tender taste of the lamb mixed with the aioli mint sauce. I'd fix this once a week if my husband liked lamb as much as I do. He loves this roasted lamb, he's just not a fan of lamb in general, so I only get make it about 4 times a year. But

Here's another delicious, easy grilled Salmon recipe for you to add to your menu next week. Like the one Heather posted last week, this recipe is simple and includes just 5 ingredients. Plus, it only needs to marinade for 5 minutes; about the same amount of time it takes to prep your grill and get it super hot.  Toss together a salad, and a side of rice, and you've got dinner together

We checked out the best children's book from our local library called Everybody Cooks Rice.   Its a story about a mom who is making rice for dinner.   She tells her daughter to go look for her brother and tell him its time for dinner.   The daughter goes around the neighborhood into each of her neighbor's home looking for her brother.   Every neighbor is making rice for dinner, but every neighbor

I got this recipe from my sister and have made it many times.    It didn't come with a name so we  named it ourselves and called it Tomatoless Salsa Dip.   My sister doesn't like tomatoes (how weird is that), but they are one of my favorites and I had a box of cherry tomatoes in my fridge I was looking to use up, so I added it to this recipe tonight.   But then that ruined the whole Tomatoless

I'm blogging in response to a post that Denise made in February with a recipe for these incredible Davy Crockett bars If you haven't made them yet, now is a great time to try them.

Oh do I have a fabulous treat for you today!  You will want to make this one right now - - as soon as you gather the simple ingredients. This is a moist rich chocolate cake, and you'll most likely want more than one slice. Ummm! Ummmm! I can still savor the last bite melting on my tongue. This recipe was passed on to me by my friend, Candy D., who has other recipes posted here.

I got this recipe from my 1st grade teacher and I think have eaten it every St Patrick's Day since then 30ish? years ago.    Couldn't stand corn beef and cabbage growing up (I like it now), so my memories of St. Patrick's Day were eating this bread for dinner every year.  I think it is the best soda bread recipe ever.

My family loves this dish...rice is one of our favorites and when you combine it with organic ground beef, spices and fresh Iowa corn (ok, fresh Iowa corn flown in by my husband and frozen by me) its a win-win situation in my household.  This is so easy to make and goes over great with hungry guests...for example, just ask my 3rd-cousin-twice-removed-college-student-now-turned-nanny and her

I (Denise) had five kids in my home today and we decided to make cookies for snack time.   I chose this recipe as it is easy for small helpers, fun and delicious, plus a little educational, too, and what mom doesn't like that!!!   I think a college friend originally gave me this recipe and its been years since I made it.   I pre-measured all of the ingredients in separate bowls and the kids

I really don't intend to go this long between posts, but keeping up with my boys and not being a night-owl, means there are only so many hours of daylight to bake and blog.  So here's hoping your Valentine Week was filled with love! Mine was.  Red roses, homemade love cards, dinner out, and sweet treats.  I decided it was time I made a Red Velvet Cake.  The Pioneer Woman has one in her

  I spent 4 years tasting Manhattan Clam Chowder at restaurants across the US, asking each chef if they had a special ingredient. This is the wonderful soup that evolved from my quest to satisfy the rich tomatoey soup my dear hubby was seeking. This aromatic soup is dairy free, making it a favorite of mine and my husband! Now you can easily throw all the ingredients into a crockpot and

Here's a yummy recipe I hope your family will enjoy.  Its one of those recipes I cut from one of my magazine: Sunset, Cooking Light, Cooks, or Bon Appettite.  You know which recpies I mean - - those recipes that get clipped, copied, but never cooked.  Or cooked, but never properly filed, so never repeated.  This is one of those I made a long time ago and had never repeated, but I remembered that

Ever since the craziness of Christmas, I haven't had the time to post any recipes.   I did try a couple of new recipes out last week that were really fun to make.  I even took pictures of  them to post, but after tasting the food decided that it wasn't as tasty or worth sharing.  So I still don't have a recipe to share, but I do have a soup secret weapon to share.   I recently discovered

I'm back!  The past couple weeks have been crazy at our house. The respitory stuff of all types floating from person to person, leaving me, mom, exhausted.  I relied on tried and true recipes, or Trader Joes frozen entrees to get us through while recovering from my childs walking pneumonia and who knows what else was here.  Hope your family is missing it all. Back to cooking and enjoying it

Here's what I made for teacher gifts this year....   Aren't these too fun and fresh!  I picked up the idea from my friend Inger, who got it from Bakerella, who picked it up from a friend...after all, there really is nothing new on the internet...nothing new under the sun. So I adapted it for me and my friends with fabric and twine. You can do the same for who ever is on your

The wonderful thing about this delicious dressing is you make it in the crockpot -  - freeing up oven space;  and you can serve it straight from your crockpot - - one less dish to clean up and stays nice & warm throughout the meal.  Three ingredients make this a unique dish, but are easily adjustable to your families tastes: rum soaked golden raisins, fresh apples, and sausage.

No other cookies says "Christmas" to me than these delicious molasses cookies.  My mom made them every year while I was growing up, and I love, love, love the smell of molasses cookies filling the house. Now I get to bake these for my family. Even better I use Spectrum Organic Shortening and I leave out the transfat.  If you haven't baked with Spectrum, you need to go down the health food

Denise's most recent post for Moon Babies made me realize I haven't shared this recipe with you sooner. It's a weekend favorite and so perfect for your holiday guests, especially topped with homemade Berry Syrup or Jam, and sprinkled with "Pixie Dust" (that's what we call powdered sugar at our house). This came from my dear friend Carol in Indiana and I couldn't begin to count the number of

This is an old family favorite that we had as kids growing up.  It is similar to Dutch Babies, but I think made with less eggs, which causes it to create more "moon craters" than Dutch Babies when cooking.  I'll write out the wording on my original recipe card from my mom cuz its fun to read how she writes out recipe cards sometimes.   I love getting new recipes online and I like writing out my

A few years ago I had given this recipe to a friend and she recently told me that she makes it all the time and it is one of her family's favorites.   So I decided to dig it out and try it out again.   It is pretty delicious, though it reminds me a lot of Tuscan Chicken Artichoke recipe I posted in October, just with a Moroccan flare instead of Tuscan.    I'll post the recipe how it is written,

This is my favorite holiday tea.  It reminds me of a warm sangria with the dark rum and burgundy wine mingling with the heady spices and citrus juices.  And its a great way to use Two Buck Chuck from TJ's.  I start serving this at Halloween for our open house, where it is known as "The Weather Outside is Frightful Tea".  As Thanksgiving comes along, I serve it after dinner and call it "

My friend told me yesterday that she made her kids spinach soup the other day. The first thing they ask is if there was spinach in it. She said if she had said "yes", they wouldn't have touched it with a ten foot pole. So instead she served it to them calling it Monster Soup for her son (5 1/2) and Tinkerbell Soup for her daughter (3 1/2). They LOVED it!!! She said they both had 3, yes,

My alternative title for this recipe is: A Way To Use Up Leftover Cottage Cheese. I don't like cottage cheese, never have, probably never will, that and I also don't eat dairy right now either. For some very strange reason I got it in my head that maybe my kids would like it. They eat and like a lot of strange things that normally wouldn't seem like kid food. So I thought they might

My sister wanted me to post this recipe as it is very easy and tasty. I haven't tried it so I don't have a picture, but it sounds simple. Unfortunately it isn't dairy free. We'll have to see if joyfullytiredmom knows of a substitute for "cream of" soups. I'd also be interested to see if it would transfer over to the crockpot for those two hours of simmering. Love to hear feedback from

I'm trying to spend 1 hour a day organizing my life:  photos, FASD notes, kids clothing, kids toys, address info, and of course, recipes.  The benefit is I'm tossing useless stuff (or stuff less-used) and discovering wonderful things that had been hidden in my piles of stuff. This recipe was one of those treasures. I used to make this frequently, then miss-piled it. Yuuuummm, I'm so glad I

I made this soup a couple of weeks ago when we all were healthy and thought this soup would be as good for fighting a cold as chicken noodle soup, plus it is just plain yummy. The sweet potatoes are chalk full of Vitamin C, the spice clears out your sinus, and the ginger settles your stomach, plus a bunch of other good for you stuff in there. Well, now our house has finally caught the bug

This is one of those reasons to cook at home and not go out to eat. It's easy. It's inexpensive. It tastes great.  We serve it over rice at our house, and everyone is happy.  I pulled this recipe from Stephanie at Crockpot 365 and made some minor adjustments for our family.  Add it to your menu planning for next week and make your house happy too.

I make 99% of all the bread we eat in our house, and this has to be our favorite bread recipe.  My boys would eat the whole thing if I didn't serve it to adults and guests first.  One of the things I love about it, is it already has all the spices and butter on it, so you don't have to pass the butter dish around with the rolls.  Just pull off pieces of this warm, delicious bread and pop them

I was watching Rachael Ray the other day and she made this club sandwich recipe. I thought it looked good, knew my husband would love it (his fav Red Robin burger is the one that comes with an egg...Royal Burger) so had to try it myself. I didn't add the jalapeno, cuz I was serving it to the kids and needed to take the spice out. I also didn't add the chili powder to their

This is an easy, yummy dish that is like eating a bowl full of Fall. It was originally from the Taste of Home magazine website, but I found it on my favorite crockpot website. The only raisins left in the house was one small box, so I also added a small box of craisins to equal 1/2 cup, which I think just intensified the fall flavor. I was also out of brown sugar, but you couldn't tell. It

I'm fairly certain everyone has a favorite tomato sauce recipe, but on the chance you don't, here's a super easy one that will have your family impressed and satisfied.  The great thing about this recipe is you probably have all the ingredients in your pantry and fridge.  The second great thing is this makes enough to feed 8 adults, have some for lunch the next day, and have at least a jar

Okay...this recipe does not fall into the healthy category ANYWHERE and goes against everything we are trying to accomplish, but I guarantee you that this is the BEST sugar cookie recipe ever! I get a lot of requests for it, so I'm posting it to this site. I haven't made it in awhile so I don't have a picture. I might soon though as I usually make them every Halloween. I used to make them

Welcome October! In light of the season, here is a festive, fun recipe that I added some of my own tweaks to make it kid and family friendly. I saw the base of this recipe in a coffee table type book at a friend's house. I scribbled it down on a scrap paper and brought it home.I didn't call it pumpkin soup because I didn't want to have any confusion because there isn't any pumpkin in it.

One afternoon this week I found myself with a defrosted whole chicken, Julia Child’s “Mastering the Art of French Cooking”...and our afternoon nannie. Yes! I finally get to try out a recipe without interruption. With much anticipation I chose Poulet Poele a L’estragon a L' Face Duxelles which is translated:  Casserole Roasted Chicken with Tarragon and Mushroom Stuffing. Apparently this happens

I LOVE Middle Eastern food. I mean what can beat hummus with warm pita bread! Yum! This is my absolute favorite Middle Eastern food. I've never found this at a restaurant and I'm not sure why cuz it would seem like a pretty easy thing to have on a menu...just as easy if not easier, than falalfils . Though once I looked at the picture I posted, it doesn't look that appealing, but it is a

I feel like Rachael Ray today, cuz this meal I was able to get ready in 30 minutes or less. The longest thing to make was the rice, so make sure you start that first, unless you completely omit the rice altogether, which is fine to do. It just makes the soup a little more filling, especially for those young tummy's, they hardly knew they were eating spinach! Another reason I like this

Ya! We have a follower! Thanks, Shawn! This recipe is for you! I originally got this recipe from a friend whose sister used to live in Pennsylvania near Amish Country. I changed a couple of things like adding raisins and cinnamon. (Yes, Shawn, you can leave the raisins out!) It is a good comfort breakfast food and great to serve to company. I normally use rice milk to make mine dairy

I've renamed this meal Power Soup. I think it is from lentils or the sweet potatoes, I don't know, way too many healthy power foods in this meal to tell. I personally think lentils are a little gross looking, and they sound entirely WAY too healthy, but my family loved this meal, even the 9 month old. I picked out the potatoes, carrots, and a couple of straggling lentils for him, pureed them

Fall is in the air which is the start of my favorite, easy, fast, one-pot way to cook: SouP!!! I threw this recipe together today and it got rave reviews from all of the family. Everyone ate at least one bowl. I browned the meat up, then threw all of the ingredients in the crockpot on high before leaving this morning. When we got home early afternoon, I added the pasta while some bread

No photo. It's frosting. It's white. You get the idea. You know how frosting is usually so sickening sweet you have to scrape it off the cake or it is so crisco-y greasy you have to dump it in the trash...ok, well, at least that's what I always do with frosting. Until now. There is nothing ordinary about the taste of this frosting. This recipe comes from my friend Judy.  While Judy's husband

I LOVE tea! I love drinking it, I love the tea cups, I love the way it makes you slow down and savor, and I love the pastries that are eaten with tea. Yes, I live in the Pacific NW and don't drink coffee. The only other person I've found here that doesn't drink tea are my two good friends from England. We love getting together for tea and scones as often as we can. I couldn't be a

I love oatmeal. My kids love oatmeal. I don't know about you, but I never have time in the morning to make oatmeal, especially steel cut oats as they take over an hour to cook. I got a wonderful tip from a friend about how to make it in the crockpot. This is super easy and totally works. If you want to cook it all night, you'll need to use steel cut oatmeal (which is super healthy). It

This is the BEST zucchini bread ever, of course it is a recipe from my Grandmother. Grandma recipes are the best...maybe not the most nutritious, but definitely taste the best! These usually don't last long in our home. Last year I made two sets of double the recipe, froze them and then gave away as Christmas gifts to the kids teachers and neighbors.

   Not such a great photo...I took it last minute, but wait till you make it! Oh, this is a keeper! My family isn't too keen on spicy anything, so I was a bit hesitant when I first read the title of this recipe in a recent book, Tea, by Sarina Jacobson, which I picked up in Ashland while at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival.   But once I read the ingredient list, I knew I absolutely had to try it!

We don't eat much red-meat in our family; maybe once or twice a month. But I bought some organic ground beef at the farmers market and did a search for a good burger recipe. I usually search Food Network and Myrecipes and Crockpot365 as my top 3 go-to-sites.  This recipe was one I grabbed from Giada De L....which brings up the question of how many adaptations/adjustments do you have to do to a

First, do you know what "caprese" refers to?  Honestly, there was that point in my life, not so very long ago when I couldn't even pronounce the word...was embarassed to even attempt to say it to the waiter because I knew I was blundering it. Foodgeeks.com (gotcha again...betcha didn't know there was such a site!) defines "caprese" as: Caprese... is an Italian specialty that is a simple dish

Yes, this is dairy-free!  No one could believe it when I said it had sweet potatoes and no dairy. Here's the secret: never tell anyone the ingredients until after they eat it -  - just present it as a "cheesecake". This is NOT a difficult recipe, altho, yes, it is time consuming. BUT, make it and you will not regret it. And when you serve it, you will be famous. Forever. Whoever eats it
