I’ve never met a cookie sheet I couldn’t ruin. You may remember last year when I turned one into a magnetic board for Grace’s room… Well after I cooked pizza on one the other night and lost half of the crust I figured I would just throw the...

Confession time. I was going to let Halloween decorating sorta ‘slip by’ this year. We’re a bit crazy busy and despite the fact that I went all out last year I just wasn’t feelin’ it this year. But I didn’t take one thing into...

Grandma Jenean should have been a chef. It’s not just that she loves to cook but she loves to create dishes and her palate is never wrong. For her latest grandchild’s baby shower one of the dishes she made was Curry Chicken Salad served in lettuce cups....

I’ve made a lot of gluten free pancakes. Some have been pretty good, but these…these were amazing. I think it was partially due to the fact that I used gluten free all purpose baking mix instead of flour. Also, I used coconut oil on the griddle...

I wasn’t planning to post this. I was planning on following another recipe to the ‘T’. I didn’t take photos (except for this one on my phone). It wasn’t on my agenda. But I had at least 3 people ask me for the recipe when I posted my...

Dear Grace, It’s hard being a girl sometimes. When I was a young girl, I was very self-conscious about the way that I looked. I didn’t like my hair. I didn’t like my freckles. I didn’t like my skinny legs. I didn’t like my skin. I was...

Last night I made a gluten-free, dairy-free coconut rice pudding. It sounds complicated and not so interesting after all of the rejections in the title but I promise – it’s delicious. And easy! You’ll need: 1 1/2 C cooked rice (I used basmati)...

Okay it’s not the corner office most people imagine, but it’s my space and I LOVE it. I was constantly moving from the kitchen table to the couch to the bar…ugh – not productive. We don’t have an extra room for an office (plus I need to...

Recently, as I was shopping for my sister’s baby shower gift, I realized I had no feelings of nostalgia or longing as I walked through Babies R Us. That is, until I got to the books. As I picked out each one I had a hard time not loading my cart with just as...
