When I woke up this morning, I looked out the window and discovered that the world had been lightly dusted with snow while I was sleeping. It’s so pretty, and snow always makes me want to snuggle in for the day, light candles all over the house, start a fire in the fireplace and make…
Oh my goodness! I’ve been so busy! I swear I meant to post this easy little recipe on Friday and the weekend got away from me. All day Saturday was dedicated to car shopping and, after 6 loooong hours at the dealership, I’m proud to announce that we are the owners of a new car.…
I couldn’t believe how easy and fast this delicious comfort food meal came together. It takes about 20 minutes from start to finish and you can make the pot pie filling while the biscuits bake in the oven. If you want to just make a classic version of this recipe, substitute cornstarch for the tapioca…
Hi there, Friends! How was your Thanksgiving? We had it pretty easy. We decided to make reservations at the historic St. James Hotel here in Red Wing. They always throw an awesome party “on the Summit” and prepare a spectacular spread. My mom, brothers and sister joined us for the occasion and I can’t remember…
Today I went to my grandgirl’s school for Grandparent’s day. Maddie May’s Kindergarten class sang a couple adorable songs to all of us grandparents in the elementary school gymnasium (one of them brought tears to my eyes!), and then we all went to the classroom to read books, play games and color. What a fun…
Here’s a delicious, healthy smoothie recipe with zing! I love the addition of fresh ginger. It’s spicy and has the added benefit of protecting you from colds and flu during the chilly winter months.

Did you know that the beaches in Bermuda are pink? This is due to their proximity to certain types of coral reefs. Just a little bit of trivia for your Friday, and the inspiration for one of my new salad dressings. Actually, this is just original Thousand Island dressing with raspberry vinegar and chopped beets…
Chocolate pudding is one of my favorite sweet treats but I haven’t been eating it very often these days because, let’s face it, it’s usually loaded with sugar and starch. I discovered a whole new way to make pudding that’s not only delicious, it’s completely healthy and Paleo friendly. I made up a batch of…
My daughter, Grace, has been getting creative in the kitchen and cooking up all sorts of healthy, Paleo treats. These are some of the best, chewiest, soft chocolate chip cookies I’ve ever had and the almond flour gives these cookies a wonderful texture and flavor. They’re too good not to share, so here’s the recipe!…
These are very tasty little gingersnap cookies that are completely Paleo, but they do have molasses, pure maple syrup and butter in them so don’t eat the whole batch at once 😉 They’re particularly good when dunked into a cold glass of almond milk! I made a batch specifically to use as an ingredient in…
