Homemade Caramel Corn

I think that the only time I really ate caramel corn (prior to this) was from those jumbo popcorn tins that people give as Christmas gifts.  You know, with the cheese flavored section, butter section, and caramel corn section?  I’m sure I’ve had it other […]

LUSCIOUS FRUIT SALAD

Once you’re known as a food blogger (among friends and family at least) you can never again show up at a potluck or barbeque with a non-dish. A non-dish includes chips, soda, and nonedibles (i.e. paper plates and plastic cutlery). It’s a bit annoying when […]

This gluten-free chocolate cake is dressed up in Framboise flavored whipped cream and topped with  fresh raspberries – and brought to you by great and easy desserts. Incredibly versatile, you could serve this cake at a dinner party and yet it would be right at home […]

I have a friend. And she lives in the south. And my friend from the south told me about Chicken Fried steak one day. And now life will never be the same.  You GUYS. I found something that Mr.D literally could.not.get.enough.of. He ate it all. […]

Pie Party Gluten Free Lemon Meringue Pie

The very first lemon meringue pie that our oldest daughter ate was prepared by her lemon-loving grandmother.  In their house, if something wasn’t made with mayonnaise, it was at least prepared with lemon.  Oh. Wait.  Isn’t there lemon in mayonnaise?  That would be two for […]

Bread, Cooking

AMISH WHITE BREAD

Over the years I have made this recipe for simple white bread many times and it has never let me down. Growing up in Tennessee with an Amish village not far away I was always intrigued by their recipes. My family would often visit and […]

Fried Mashed Potato Balls

I love potatoes, I mean, I really do… They are my favorite food, I was a vegetarian for roughly three years, and I basically just ate potatoes. My dad used to call me a potato-arian, and it definitely fit! look at these! How can you […]

ROSEMARY LEMON GARLIC ROASTED CHICKEN

Roasted chickens are a God send. Can I get an amen? They make for a simple, nutritious and delicious meal with pretty much no cooking supervision and little preparation required. I enjoy meals that call for more involved preparation and cooking steps on days when […]

Chocolate Chip Banana Oat Muffins

Even if you forget to put sugar in these muffins, people will eat them (I may have done that once). Though that may tempt you, don’t skip the sugar – there isn’t much and it makes a difference. Perhaps some people (who are not me) […]
