Happy New Year! We just returned home from our trip to the Big Apple, and I can hardly wait to share it with you – SO much fun – and a city FULL of gluten free eating opportunities! I wasn’t home long enough today to make a traditional New Year’s Day meal, and I just… Read More Gluten Free Friday – Roasted Tomato Soup
Christmas here was pretty quiet, and it usually is. After all of the planning, hosting, cooking, cleaning, shopping, and “churching” that the holiday always entails for us, it’s so nice to do nothing on the actual day. We all look forward to a day on the couch in our pjs, and we all wonder why… Read More Christmas At Our Casa
Last Sunday we hosted a staff and volunteer lunch at out house to say thank you to the many folks who pour out so much of their time and hearts to serve at our church. We’ve done this nearly every year that we’ve been here, and I ‘m not sure why, but I always end… Read More Gluten Free Saturday – Meaty Minestrone
Reading aloud is my favorite thing to do with my kids. We almost always have a book in progress, and Christmas provides some really wonderful material. We even put all of the Christmas books away in the attic with the decorations each year, and you wouldn’t believe the anticipation and nostalgia it provides when the… Read More Krum’s Fun Christmas Read-Alouds

Seems like I’ve been mass producing these things in the last few weeks due to various Christmas parties and events. Definitely nothing new or original. Honestly, nothing I do is new or original – just copied or borrowed from somewhere or someone else. This recipe is borrowed from the Texas recipe archives of the 1980’s,… Read More Gluten Free Friday – 8-Layer Mexican Dip
“….. that’s the way the holiday starts. Christmas cookies and holiday hearts, yummy, yummy, good, good, good!” I’ve been humming that song ever since Kayla’s Christmas tea party on Saturday, but I can’t even remember how I know that song or where it comes from. (Leave a comment if you can help me out with… Read More “Christmas Cookies and Holiday Hearts…..”
Very much a comfort food, and naturally gluten free, I’ve taken this breakfast casserole to a few gatherings, and it always seems to get lots of rave reviews. I’m thinking of having it ready to go in the oven on Christmas morning along with our traditional “Sara’s Coffee Cake!” (Thanks, Sara E!) The potato crust… Read More Gluten Free Friday – As Promised….Brunch Casserole!
Kombucha: Well, the kombucha is not doing as I’d hoped. It definitely smells like a fermented drink at this point, but no “mother mushroom” is really forming. Don’t know what went wrong. Maybe I didn’t use enough of the pre-made kombucha in my batch. Maybe it wasn’t a warm enough atmosphere. I searched high and… Read More Kombucha, Hot Chocolate, and WATER!
Last week, I was glad for it to be snowing in Texas and NOT here. Well, that situation lasted all of about 2 days! We got a bit of snow on Saturday, and then about 5 or 6 inches today. Actually, I was secretly hoping that winter in New England would only last for the… Read More Oh, the weather outside…
