If you are dairy-free this recipe is for you! I love panna cotta, an Italian dessert that is so easy to make. Just be sure to give yourself plenty of time to allow the panna cotta to set. Traditional panna cotta calls for cream and milk but today I decided to try using coconut milk [Read More]
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. But quite honestly, this one is delicious, too! Cooking with Chantaboon Rice Sticks is different than cooking with gluten [Read More]
I love molasses cookies and wanted to throw in a bit of a twist using an unusual spice called cardamom. If you have never baked with it I highly recommend it! Cardamom is a unique spice from the ginger family, and a little goes a long way, which is good, because the spice can [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]
On Sunday evening Scott and I hosted our first annual Oscar Party. We laid out the red carpet and had the paparazzi ready when the guests arrived. Living in a fairly small town, it is always nice to have an excuse to dress up, and our guests took their role serious! They could have given any [Read More]
I love deep friendships; ones where the roots grow so deep you instantly pick up where you left off, whether it has been a year or just a week. Wednesday morning, my dear friend, Trude, came for a visit. Our time was filled with laughter, tears, prayer, and pure enjoyment of picking up where we [Read More]
There’s nothing quite like the aroma of a good coffee house to lure me in. I love the smell of the beans and the sound of the espresso machine steaming up a large cap of foam. Not all coffee houses are the same; I’ve had good and bad. When you’ve had a bad cup it’s [Read More]
