The first time I made my version of GF Cheesy Garlic Bread, we all agreed that they tasted a lot like the biscuits we used to get at Red Lobster but better. That got me wondering if I could adjust the recipe to make drop biscuits. I’ve made this quite a few times now and feel confident in sharing it.…
I have always hated cooking bacon because of the mess of frying it. It doesn’t seem to matter how careful you are or what temperature you try frying bacon on, you end up with grease splatters. In fact, I hated it so much that years ago Dave took over making bacon and eggs on Sunday mornings. I’d heard of cooking…
I think I’ve mentioned before that one of the things I miss now that I am eating gluten free is bread. Especially during the winter when we make a lot of soups, stews and chili. It’s nice to have some kind of bread to serve with them. I came across a recipe on-line that claimed the addition of yeast gave…
I’ve been craving sweets in the evening so I went in search of something that would give me that bit of sweetness but still be a healthy treat. I found a recipe for Oatmeal Bars but the measurements were in grams and while I don’t mind weighing things I do prefer to be able to just quickly measure using cups…
Recently I was trying out a new recipe that called for Italian Seasoning. It’s not something that I usually have on hand in my spice cabinet so I went looking on-line and found that it was super simple to make from herbs that I already had. Homemade Italian Seasoning 1 tbsp each of the following herbs: Parsley, basil, thyme, leaf…
Since going gluten free, one of the things I miss the most is bread. Earlier this year, I discovered this muffin recipe that I’ve been using as a replacement for rolls and English muffins. I make them one at a time as I need them. They are great split in half with a burger between them or served under poached…
Last payday Dave and I decided to go out for supper to Whiskey Creek. Their ribs and rib combos are some of the best we’ve ever had. To start our meal, we ordered their Appetizer Combo which comes with a variety of dipping sauces. Our favorite to all of them is their Honey Mustard Dipping Sauce. The next day we…
Sometimes the best recipes are the result of improvisation (or lack of prior planning on my part.) We decided to have homemade pizza for supper one night last week. I had used this recipe once before and we really liked it. The evening before pizza night, I stopped at the grocery store to pick up the toppings but I had forgotten…
One of the things I enjoy doing at our winter home here in Florida is going to the year round farmers’ market each Saturday in Pensacola on Palafox Street. I’ve been able to source grass-fed beef and pork, local raw honey and of course, lots of fresh organic vegetables. And until the hard frost we got a week and a…
I’m not sure if I’ve mentioned it here on the blog before, but I have allergies to a lot of the perfumes used in soaps and lotions that you buy in the store. This past summer, for health reasons, I switched to using only organic shampoo, conditioner and soap. But I was having a difficult time finding an organic lotion…
