When my son Tristan was a baby we went over to my husband’s professor’s house for their Thanksgiving dinner. Their home sat on several acres with a barn, a green house, and a couple of ponds. It was beautiful at their home in the country in North Carolina. The house was a quaint old two-story home with lots of detail and cracks running up the walls that silently told the… more

I love this time of year and this past week my kids and I took a field trip to a pumpkin farm. We were with a local group of other homeschoolers and it was fun to see my children so excited about pumpkins. They had a hay bale maze set up with ladders, and slides I thought I would never get my son out of the maze. He loves mazes… more
Gluten Free Apple Chunk Cinnamon Muffins

As a mother, one of my goals is to raise fabulous little cooks and bakers so when they leave the nest they can create healthy and delicious meals. I grew up watching my mom and dad drive through the drive through, but I never learned how to cook. Cooking and baking is a fun event in my house, and this past week for homeschool I asked my son Tristan if… more
Roasted Tomato Soup

I love tomatoes they are one of my favorite foods. I love to eat tomatoes in salads, with a little salt right off the plant, in sauces, but my favorite way to eat tomatoes is in soup. Growing up my mom made grilled cheese sandwiches and out of a can tomato soup. I thought it was the best soup ever until I was visiting my sister’s house in the Carolina’s.… more
Cooking Asparagus Made Easy

Growing up in parts of Western Nevada I remember taking long walks with my parents along the drainage canals that fed water to the local farmers crops. Along side these canals grew wild asparagus. It was fun picking and foraging the asparagus that grew like weeds near the water’s edge. My mom made many meals with our picked asparagus and it is one of my favorite vegetables. Unfortunately, asparagus gets… more

My hubby and I usually plant an enormous garden. To us it is fun spending hours and hours maintaining the garden, and then canning or freezing everything that grows out of it. I tried to garden this year on my deck, because having a new baby I did not have the time to keep up on the weeding. Everything started growing fine, but one thing I realized is most of… more

Nutella Banana Sushi

I love bananas and I love sushi! When I saw this cute banana sushi pin on Pinterest, I got excited, until I clicked through to the recipe and saw they used wheat bread. We eat gluten free as a family for my son Tristan and gluten free bread does not and would not wrap around a banana like wheat bread does. I tried to make some banana sushi using rice tortillas,… more

Today I have something so delicious and mouthwatering to share with you, even my taste buds are fired up as I type. Do you love chocolate?

I am not a big fan of sweets, but there is nothing I love better than a tall glass of milk and a really chewy, moist, and yummy cookie.

The other day my son Tristan asked me to make some cookies, and I love to bake and make fun treats with my kids, so I did.… more

When we decided to go gluten free as a family, one of the new foods introduced to us was the seed quinoa. I had never heard of it, but quinoa is now one of our favorite staples in the pantry. Quinoa is wonderful because it cooks quickly, it is a super nutritious complete protein, and it has a wonderful mild flavor all on its own. I love quinoa because most… more

Peach season is in full swing here in Maryland and I love it. Maryland has some of the best peaches I ever tasted. The peaches are large and oh, so sweet and perfect for homemade ice cream and other wonderful treats. I am busy canning peaches, and I figured why not make my family some no sugar peach ice cream. It was simple to do, and the end result was fabulous. Ingredients:… more
