smoky chickpea flatbread {gluten free}

Here’s a delicious, gluten free snack that I invented after finding several recipes online that called for garbanzo bean flour. Well, I didn’t have that, but I did have a can of the beans, so I improvised. This is incredibly easy, healthy and fun to make. I was looking for something I could slather goat…

mud pie muffins {gluten free}

Yesterday my friend Nancy and I went to Bayside for lunch (yum!) and then we did a little thrift store shopping (fun!). A used bookstore opened just up the street from me and we had a good time browsing in there for awhile too. I can’t wait to share the cool stuff I found with…

baked chicken fajitas

This was such a fun, delicious and easy meal to make for our Valentine celebration this year. We were all decked out in our comfiest jammies under quilts in the living room while watching movies on demand and munching baked fajitas! Thank you, Cozycakes Cottage, for the inspiration. These exceeded my expectations! I was a…

heart beet salad

pumpkin cream penne with grilled chicken

So far so good with the healthy goals in 2014. I’ve been making lots of delicious, wholesome dishes that are loaded with flavor. I am trying to cut back on the bad fats, sugar and salt… but this dish just isn’t the same when you try to make it with greek yogurt in place of…

blueberry bliss smoothie

When I was little I loved spending weekends at my grandma and grandpa’s house. One of my fondest memories is hanging out with them in the evenings and watching Lawrence Whelk on their big console TV. We ate giant bowls of ice cream. Real ice cream. Not the low fat stuff. As I’ve gotten older…
