Raspberry, White, and Blueberry Pie Bars
Like most of you, we enjoyed a relaxing 4th of July morning, beginning with a 2 mile fun, followed by homemade blueberry pancakes, and a 3 hour experience at our garden, harvesting veggies and picking bugs off the brassicas (ok maybe the garden part was a little more unique). Once we returned home, I finished whipping up this […]
Simply Vanilla (Dairy Free) Ice Cream
Sometimes, you just need a little ice cream. I had a fairly severe dairy allergy growing up…not swelling airways severe, but unpleasant congestion and runny nose. And yes, this was before allergies were “in” or talked about. I would tell teachers or lunch-ladies I was allergic to dairy and receive nothing but blank stares. Just to […]
Double-Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Truffles
While yet another Christmas has come and gone, the holiday festivities will no doubt linger for the next few weeks. Holiday work parties, friends visiting from out of town, family squeezing in one last get together, and of course New Years, all before we see an end to the euphoria of snow-bells, sleigh bells, and […]

Easy Apple Pie Filling
Pumpkins, apples, squashes, and harvest. Nothing like celebrating nature’s gifts of fall. Andy and I took a trip to Pheasantview Family Farm where each weekend in October they open up their home-farm for people to come and pick pumpkins, take a hay ride, play with the animals, and enjoy the kiss of fall color along the wooded […]
Chocolate Coconut Cashew Clusters
I have been dying to share this recipe and have finally gotten around to posting it! I love desserts that offer a Hodge-podge of ingredients capped off with a chewy texture…and of course some chocolate never hurts! Of course I’m not just talking about any old conglomerate of ingredients…we’re talking the good stuff, loaded with […]
Mint Chocolate Black Bean Brownies
This is one of our new favorite recipes! It took a few attempts to perfect but by now I’ve had plenty of practice making them. My husband requests these weekly…no, really, he’s getting quite spoiled. The brownies are not only gluten-free, but also grain free. They are made with real, simple ingredients, and the secret […]
