If only I had been taking photos of all of the goodies that are being made in my kitchen this morning, then I could have a cute Christmas-y post today!  I just made 12 graham cracker gingerbread houses, while my friend Jen made GF chocolate chip cookies, and now I’m about to start on a… Read More Gluten Free Friday ~ Green Breakfasts

Gluten Free Friday ~ Swiss Chard “Sushi” & Triathlon Countdown

 Two recipe posts in a row means I haven’t blogged in a week, but there are reasons for that. Would you believe me if I told you that a Sunday afternoon trip to the emergency room with a collapsed congregant {she is fine now}, a bit of a health scare and unexpected trip to my… Read More Gluten Free Friday ~ Swiss Chard “Sushi” & Triathlon Countdown

Kale, Caramelized Onions, & Pepperoni

While waiting for an iced coffee at Barnes and Noble the other day, I was perusing a Fine Cooking Magazine. It was chock full of recipes that include the very things I get from my local farm co-op each week. I ended up going through the cafe line again to purchase the magazine, because I… Read More Kale, Caramelized Onions, & Pepperoni

This will be our 8th season (I think) to be a part of a CSA – a Community Supported Agriculture farm called the Brookfield Farm. The season runs from June through Thanksgiving and provides and abundance of fresh, local, and organic fruits and vegetables. And not only that, but other local farms, dairies, etc. have… Read More Gluten Free Friday – Farm Fresh
