This is my “recipe” for roasted garlic & garlic bread. Inspired by Saturday’s festivality, I couldn’t wait to make some seriously awesome garlic bread last night. Normally when I’m throwing some in the oven to go with a pasta dinner, there’s a lot of garlic powder and margarine involved. Now that is NOT very inspired, [...]

Smoothie 102
Posted in casein-free, dairy free, food allergies, gluten-free, health, raw foodism, Yum! on April 20, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
Smoothie 101 was just a very basic frozen fruit and water anything goes smoothie. No recipe, no specific amounts, whatever fruit suits your fancy. The only rule – use a banana for emulsification or else it’s just fruit juice, baby. I received a few comments from people who were surprised. They had never considered a [...]
Waffles with that Extra Something
Posted in Yum! on April 7, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
I admit, for the most part we are an Eggo store brand frozen waffle kinda family. I used to whip ‘em up from scratch back in the days when I was young and energetic, and thought that preservative laden prepackaged food was evil (now I know it’s genius!) Every now and then, I’ll have a [...]
Kiddie Food Krafts – Holey Donuts, Batman!
Posted in Kiddie Food Krafts, Yum! on March 27, 2011 | 3 Comments »
This is not by any means an original recipe. My mom used to make these when I was a kid, but I’m sure she didn’t come up with the idea either. Mom wasn’t exactly an adventurous baker. This was one of her few edible culinary treats. I admit that I don’t make these very often. [...]
The Infamous Green Smoothie
Posted in casein-free, dairy free, gluten-free, health, raw foodism, Yum! on March 22, 2011 | 1 Comment »
“He’s not just famous, he’s IN famous!” – Ned Nederlander (Martin Short) The Three Amigos As promised, here is the recipe for the Green Smoothie I made tonite. First, you will notice that is not, in fact, green! How observant of you. The Green has nothing to do with the color. It’s because there are [...]
Spaghetti Tacos – with a GFCF version
Posted in casein-free, dairy free, gluten-free, Yum! on March 19, 2011 | 2 Comments »
My kids love iCarly, even my teenage boys. Ok, I watch it too. It’s a very cute, quirky, funny show. Who woulda thought it’d be full of great recipes too! Sean and Skye had been begging for Spaghetti Tacos ever since the episode aired. I actually made them last year. And they were a HUGE [...]
Kiddie Food Krafts – Rainbow Cupcakes
Posted in Kiddie Food Krafts, Yum! on March 17, 2011 | 1 Comment »
Rainbow cupcakes seem to be all the rage this St. Patty’s Day. So of course, I was all over that band wagon! My friend Elizabeth posted a link for them on her Facebook page. And I couldn’t wait to make them with the littles. Here are the instructions I stole followed from the website. [...]
Smoothie 101
Posted in casein-free, dairy free, gluten-free, health, peanut-free, raw foodism, Yum! on March 11, 2011 | 3 Comments »
I’m now starting every day with a super healthy smoothie. Sean and Skye LOVE them, so they each have a small one too. These are perfect for just about anyone. They are nut free, gluten free, casein/dairy free, pretty much everything free! Unless you’re allergic to berries or bananas, in which case you’re totally screwed! [...]
Kiddie Food Krafts – Chocolate-dipped Pretzel Rods
Posted in Kiddie Food Krafts, Yum! on March 6, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
It was a rainy dreary Saturday and I thought it would be fun to make a little food crafting with the little kids. I wanted to use items we already had on hand as much as possible. I did have to send Jason to the grocery store for the pretzel rods and white chocolate chips. [...]
Menu Plan Monday
Posted in Yum! on August 3, 2010 | 3 Comments »
In an effort to get more organized AND save some moolah, I’ve decided to follow in Elizabeth‘s footstep and participate in Menu Plan Mondays over at I’m an Organizing Junkie. I was trying the last two weeks to eat mostly out of our pantry. I succeeded in spending less than $20 at the grocery store [...]
