The sun peeked in through my bedroom blinds this morning awakening my soul. I love Saturday mornings. Love not having to set an alarm clock, love waking to the robins tweeting their songs marking the arrival of spring, and especially love waking next to my man for nearly twenty-nine years. Life is good. I enjoy [Read More]
We traveled across the state to Seattle this past weekend for business and a brief opportunity to visit our boys. It always seems funny to say our “boys” when in fact they are grown men, but in a mama’s eyes, they will always be “my boys”. We had such a sweet time with them even [Read More]
If you enjoy Pad Thai, you may like this recipe. I mentioned in my Coconut Curry Soup Recipe that my favorite food is Thai, I guess I’m proving that to you by adding yet another Thai recipe.

We have a great little public house restaurant in Pullman called Southfork. During the winter months they serve this [Read More]
I remember several years back, attempting to make cinnamon rolls when the only flours used in gluten free recipes were rice and soy. I can tell you flat out from experience, it produces a hard little bun that is tough and doesn’t rise. It is such a disappointment when so much time is invested in [Read More]
We have a wonderful little bistro in our neighboring town, which makes a delicious Moroccan Black Bean chili; the only problem is it is not gluten free. After I took a few bites, I asked what the ingredients were (a dangerous thing to do when you are gluten free). In other words, don’t do it! [Read More]
There are several gluten free bread products on the market today and new ones seem to be popping up all the time.

They are located [Read More]
