I recently came across a recipe for a chocolate chip mug cookie. I didn’t just come across it, I suppose. I also made that mug-o-cookie and ate it too. Yum-o. Both gluten and dairy free, and it took less than five minutes from start to finish and was on its way to my tummy. This … Continue reading

They are not only good for grilling and stir-frying, but also make an awesome bread! When we have more than we can use … Continue reading

What was decided upon? Cherry cobbler. Just as tasty, if not more so, than … Continue reading
In response to a large number of views for my Whole Wheat Pancake Mix post, I decided to post the mix that I use for Whole Wheat Drop Biscuits. I love having the mix on hand in the fridge or freezer to be able to whip up a batch of biscuits any time without all … Continue reading
Continuing on with my summer-loving series of different homemade ice creams, I bring to you today a Caramel Pecan Dark Chocolate Swirl Ice Cream.
