Vegetarian Chopped Salad

If you’re lucky enough to have a True Food Kitchen in your area, you might be familiar with the Vegetarian Chopped Salad which is a popular menu item.  It’s delish and this week DF Evon inspired me to make a copycat recipe at home using the template from Blythesblog.com. Here is what I did. Ingredients […]

A New Project – German Schmear

It’s been awhile since we’ve tackled a project. But here is a new project – German Schmear. Or German Smear, just in case you’re not German. Remember when we redid hub’s office with a faux brick wall? We have loved the look in there, but the wall is pretty red and it didn’t have much […]

Eggplant “Meatballs”

Have the rich meals, drinks and desserts offered during this season left you craving something a little lighter? How about eggplant “meatballs”? An excess of eggplants from a recent produce box left me scratching my head for a yummy recipe and a way to freeze up extra meals. Skinnytaste to the rescue. Gina’s recipes never […]

December Skin Care

In case you missed it, I am posting daily in December with a fit challenge.  “Fit” meaning all aspects of taking care of yourself.   For many reasons, December skin care is really important and no need to lose sight of that during the holidays.

Chicken and Vegetable Pasta Casserole

Have the cool fall days inspired you to put some comfort foods back on the menu? Here is the gluten-free version of chicken and vegetable pasta casserole I made for a chilly November night. This recipe should probably feed six, but we both had two helpings and there is maybe leftovers for one more meal. […]

Gluten Free French Dip Sandwiches

With 98% certainty, I can guess what hub is going to order when we are out and when French Dip Sandwiches are on the menu.  He always orders it.  He loves it. But.  That is a big cheat for him.  Not only is the roll an obvious problem, the au jus hides gluten in the […]

Gluten-Free Apple Crisp

Juicy, ripe apples are one of my fall favorites. Here is the gluten-free apple crisp I made. Already a simple recipe, and it would be easy to sub regular flour if gluten is not a concern in your house. Apple crisp is easy to make, hard to mess up and can easily be adapted using […]
