Laverna’s Amazing Carrot Cake is a homemade sensation! The best I have ever eaten.

Spring rolls with homemade peanut sauce are fun to make and surprisingly filling! Spring rolls are also a clever way for kids to eat new vegetables. They are perfect for warm summer days when you don’t want to turn on the oven and are pretty quick to make. Of course, you won’t want to save…
Scrambled eggs & asparagus might be the perfect start to a terrific day! I have heard that foods can actually be mood-lifting, and that asparagus of all things, is one of the best.

After many batches of trying to make a homemade sugar-free ketchup, thank goodness I finally came up with one I liked. One of the hardest parts of being on the yeast-free diet was going without ketchup. I am a huge ketchup and french fry fan. I also simply must have ketchup with steak, even though…

Big Chip ~ Little Chip GF Chocolate Chip Cookies are my new bakery-style allergy-friendly cookies. I should warn you though; after that first bite, it will be hard to stop eating them! You just never know until you try. I’m talking about if a recipe is going to “work out” or “be normal” with gluten-free ingredients. But…
Peanut Butter Maple Date Bites are like candy…except healthier. I was showing my husband one of my favorite snack foods, a date filled with peanut butter when I suddenly got the idea to dip the end of my date in maple butter. I probably don’t have to tell you how insanely delicious that was! I…
