A space dedicated specifically for me…It’s like my own personal pinterest! :-)

It’s like the universe was whispering (loudly) in my ear…. “Make me a Wacky Cake”. I haven’t had Wacky Cake in probably 40 plus years, but now here it was in my inbox…on Pinterest and now on some of my favorite food blogs.

I, of course, started making Crisps and Pies when I was out and on my own too. It didn’t matter if it was an Apple Pie or a Crisp the worst part was peeling all those apple! When I unpacked my first kitchen gadget in the mid 80’s I was fairly new to the Kitchen […]

Along with the great weather, the people here are wonderful. We’ve been busy sampling all the new restaurants and […]

Look, here’s the deal…. Anybody can alter a recipe to become gluten free by substituting one of the many gluten free flours or “packaged” products on the market. I’ve been a celiac for years and I realized very early in this process that the key to my eating happiness was going to be, stay away from “fake” food and focus on creativity using “real” food. The other challenge was going to be, how to simulate some of our favorite comfort […]
