Giving Thanks with Butternut Squash Red Lentil Soup
We made it though the remnants of Matthew virtually unscathed – just a few tree limbs down while others had entire trees downed or worse.

What do you get when…
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.

TEST: Special Hailey Treats
Today, I thought I’d take the test kitchen in another direction and test something for the newest member of our household, Hailey. She is a rescue and an eight-month old lab mix.

TEST: Gluten-Free Apple Pie Bars
It’s as American as Apple Pie! What?!! Did you know that pie predates the Ancient Romans? Pie was made to be portable. It was, and still is, cheaper to make pie than bread. Pies are fascinating to me. They can be sweet or savory and just about every culture makes some form of pie. Here are… Continue reading TEST: Gluten-Free Apple Pie Bars

Last week, I wrote about my go to meal, Red Lentil Cauliflower Curry. This week I bring you Mom’s go to meal: Sloppy Joes.
