Honey Mustard Boneless Pork Chops

It may be nearing October’s end, but I’m still grilling!  I don’t like grilling in the dark though, so as soon as the sun sets around 4:30 pm, I’ll have to quite grilling for a few months.  Bummer!  But until then, I’m still firing it up.  I have a gas grill.  It’s so easy to turn on, heats up quickly, and you do not have to worry about the flames going out.   So today’s...

Mississippi Mud Cookies

Sometimes I like to make a complicated recipe.  But most of the time I like to whip something up quickly.  That is where this recipe comes in.  It is very easy and fast to put together.  Introducing:  Mississippi Mud Cookies.   Apparently, in the state of Maine, they have an additional season called “mud season.”   It takes place in March and April when the rivers thaw and the snow...

Fun Finds Friday – Van’s Natural Foods Crackers – Product Review

I have not tried too many gluten free crackers.  Many seem to have milk or eggs in them.  A few times I have tried to eat rice crackers.  But they are like cardboard wafers.  Not something that resembles a wheat cracker at all. Then I found these crackers made by Van’s Natural Foods at a Wal-Mart, but later have requested my local grocer to carry them and now they are.  I purchased these...

Italian Roasted Zucchini and Summer Squash

Have you eaten a plethora of zucchini and summer squash?  We have and this is one side dish that doesn’t get old; at least not for us.   This is so simple I can barely call it a recipe.  It almost seems silly to put it on here.  But simple doesn’t mean tasteless.  No!  It is very tasty.   Do you eat zucchini and summer squash?

Sensational Sweet Potato Cupcakes With Maple Infused “Buttercream” Frosting

Today’s recipe is one of my all-time favorites!  And one of my best! It is something I created for a recipe contest.  I didn’t win, which was a real bummer, but I’m thinking the lack of eggs, soy, wheat and milk in the recipe made the judges go, “huh?”  without even trying it.  What a shame because this is the BEST CUPCAKE EVER!   Then Angel from The Wellness Angel asked me to be a...

Fall Inspired Foods Recipe Round-Up

I have the pleasure to be a part of a Fall Inspired Food Blog Series.  Every day I have been tweeting and Facebooking (if that is a word) all about the other participants fall inspired recipes. I will be sharing a Sweet Potato Cupcake recipe tomorrow (Friday) that you simply will not want to miss.  I by far have the least healthy of the recipes, and oops...it's not vegan.  In other words, I...

Grilled Pineapple – A How To Photo Tutorial

Have you ever eaten at a Brazilian barbeque restaurant?  We went to one a few weeks back for our wedding anniversary.  Oh. My. Goodness.  Okay, if you are a vegan or vegetarian this is NOT the place for you.  But meat lovers...this is the place to go!  (By the way, I don’t consider myself a meat lover.  I eat meat, but it’s not my first food love).  However, we LOVED this place from...

Fun Finds Friday – Yogurt Squares

Everyone in my house has had a round of antibiotics lately.  So in addition to our probiotics, I wanted to have a fun option for getting even more probiotics into us.  Enter….Fun Finds Friday---Yogurt Squares.   Actually I renamed these Yogurt Squares (they are originally called Probiotic Gelatin Treats).  I figured that would be more interesting to a kid.   Simply put…it’s yogurt plus...

Better Than Milk Powdered Rice Milk – Product Review

Did you know there is such a thing as powdered rice milk?  Over the years I have seen recipes here and there calling for powdered soy milk.  Since we like to avoid soy, I looked to see if I could find powdered rice milk.  And there is; it is pictured below.   It is difficult to find.  I’ve only found it in one, out of the way store and it was expensive.  However, it is available online at...
