Over the holidays I tried my hand at making Mom’s iced cookies gluten-free. I was happily surprised that it only took one try to get them right.

In honor of St. Patrick’s Day I made my Bodacious Black Bean Brownies, but added Jameson.
We made it though the remnants of Matthew virtually unscathed – just a few tree limbs down while others had entire trees downed or worse. So, we give thanks today by making a very Autumn recipe – Butternut Squash Red Lentil Soup. Ingredients: 1 large butternut squash peeled and chopped into pieces 16 ounces of… Continue reading Giving Thanks with Butternut Squash Red Lentil Soup
What do you get when you mix eggplant, marinated sun dried tomatoes, peppers, onion, garlic, chick peas and cauliflower? Absolute deliciousness, that’s what! Yesterday, I picked three eggplants from our garden along with an abundance of peppers. I wanted to use them in something summery and light.
