Finding Joy in the Journey
Here's the thing. I love entertaining. I love creating appetizers that make my guests happy and provide a little flare. But, I stop short of calling myself super...."cultured." For example. John and I went on a Southern Caribbean cruise for our one year anniversary (it was our honeymoon, just delayed). We were SO excited to... Continue Reading →
I don't have a name for them. But, they were delicious. I love the combination of spices mixed with fresh ingredients like fruit and honey. Great metabolism booster and DELICIOUS at the same time (probably not the best on the carb scale however, if this is where you're focusing). Here's the recipe if you're... Continue Reading →

So, I decided to put a healthier spin on them (mayo free!) and to try them out at my oldest's birthday party this weekend. They were a hit! They were fairly simple....here's my take.

Friends of ours are getting married this weekend and I couldn't be more excited. Or I thought so, until she told me they were having a dessert table and friends were contributing. My original plan, a pumpkin and cream mousse, wouldn't make it through the storage/travel process, so I went with option two: Caramel Pecan... Continue Reading →
So, here's the deal. I miss soft pretzels. On some days I would do just about anything for some fresh Auntie Anne's goodness. I'd say it borders on the realm of desperation. Having said that, I set out to make my own, gluten free pretzel creations. For those of you new to the gluten free... Continue Reading →
I love Chinese food. I also recognize that eating out is not a great way to make sure your body is receiving the right nutrients, not filled with, well, fillers. This recipe was a hit with the whole family, kids included! Ingredients: Beef 1 pound extra lean ground beef (I use 96-4%) 1/4 cup brown... Continue Reading →
