2 Ingredient Recipes - Can they really be good?

2013-04-18T20:22:00.000-04:00

All of this started with this email from StumbleUpon, 34 Insanely Simple 2 Ingredient Recipes. I was curious. My first thought was, "What can you cook with two ingredients, and it really taste good?"

I stumbled upon this recipe from the Tessa Domestic Diva.com. She has a wonderful website chock full of allergy free recipes. I didn't think I would love this recipe, but my whole family loved them!

Seed Party

2013-04-07T20:57:00.000-04:00

The weather is getting warm and it is almost spring time again! I love spring! I have started my seedlings under my grow light and awaiting the warm weather so I can begin to turn the soil to add my plants.

2013-02-01T20:12:00.001-05:00

This recipe is adapted from Nola.com I haven't had worcestershire sauce in ages because of the distilled vinegar which is derived from corn. We also try to avoid soy when can. So with just a few tweaks, this recipe fits the bill!

Gluten Free Tater Tots

2013-01-26T20:23:00.000-05:00

My son asked me the other day to make him tater tots. I wasn't sure that you could even make tater tots at home. I googled and mashed two recipes together and came up with one great tasting tater tot. It takes some doing, but they are worth it. If you want a less zesty tater tot follow the black measurements. If you want a zesty tater tot with a little heat, follow the black measurements

Better Batter vs C4C Pie Crust Review

2013-01-23T20:17:00.001-05:00

This head to head was for Katie who asked about how Better Batter Flour stacked up to C4C Flour in a pie crust. I have to start with that I really like both these flours. They are awesome to cook with. If you can have milk, C4C is wonderful! and if you can't have milk then I would hands down chose Better Batter. Now on with the comparison........ First, I didn't have a favorite

Okay, life is never the way I picture it should be. I thought with the new year that I would try to get back into the swing of things and work on more recipes, but as fate would have it, life has offered me a different direction. The craziness that is my life, tells me that I need to do more meal planning to fit the constant and ever growing schedule of my family. So, for now I will not

Cuban Black Beans and Rice

2013-01-06T20:10:00.000-05:00

I found this great side dish from All You. It is from their November 2012 Issue. It is lends itself to being naturally allergy free and vegan free if you skip the meat and use a vegetable broth. As you can see, I opted not to use chorizo but used fresh Italian Hot Sausage from my local farmer, because I know all the ingredients. I also added some corn to my helping since not all my kids
