This is ALWAYS a big hit in our house and with guests. Brisket is sometimes hard to come by in this area, though. Whole Foods always carries it, but they charge $5.99 per pound. I can get it on sale sometimes, but a couple of times I’ve just bought at roast and prepared it using… Read More Gluten Free Friday – Barbecue Brisket
This recipe came out of Better Homes and Gardens magazine. It was one of their award winners from a spring or summer issue of 2008. They were gluten free to begin with – not purposefully – just by nature of being macaroons, and I’ve only changed a couple of things. The kids love these as… Read More Gluten Free Friday – Peanut Butter Macaroons
Things are still a little rough here. I know I mentioned it in a semi-humorous way a few posts back – trying to be light-hearted about it, but the truth is I am still pretty low and only slowly recovering from a despair to which I’ve never dropped before. And it is from so many… Read More How He speaks…..
…..do as the Texans do! Robert and I recently returned from yet another trip to Texas – my fifth trip in 12 months – and we definitely returned to our roots in dramatic way on this particular trip! Robert performed the wedding ceremony of his second cousin, Jason on Valentine’s Day, outdoors on the Eberly… Read More When in Texas……

My kids LOVE it though. I made a batch and froze it when we went on our… Read More Gluten Free Friday – Baked Potato Soup
I had to make a quick snack for the kids to take to their Friday homeschool ice-skating time and remembered reading a recipe for energy bars on my friend Megan’s wonderful blog – Going Green in a Pink World. I didn’t have all the ingredients she listed so just altered it a bit. They were… Read More Gluten Free Friday – Energy Bars
Instead of posting a recipe today, I though I would tell you about a wonderful restaurant we went to while in NYC last Saturday. I’ve actually been there several times, and couldn’t wait to take my family. It’s called Risotteria and has gluten free pizza, paninis, risotto, and desserts. (Also gluten free beer if you’re… Read More Gluten Free Friday – NYC GF Restaurant
When we moved here, several people told us that the only way to make it through the winter was to get outside and learn to enjoy it. Well, our kids are much better at it than we are. (Although we did purchase his and her snowshoes last week!) They think nothing of getting on the… Read More Winter Adventures
Robert and Kayla come in the door – back from a trip to the post office and grocery store. Kayla: Mommy, we got you a surprise! Chocolate! Me: Oh boy! Thank you….and dark chocolate….my favorite! Robert: Yeah, the package said “Compare to Prozac.” Me: Really?????? Robert: No. I’m counting on the possibility that SOME of… Read More Good Medicine
