How To Make A “Can” Of Condensed Cream Of Mushroom Soup – Photo Tutorial

admin November 25, 2020 57 Comments
First published in 2013, this remains a favorite recipe. Reposting today so everyone has it handy for Thanksgiving! It took me two and half years to make Ranch dressing and it has also been that long since I ate a casserole that was made with a can of cream of mushroom soup.  I guess I did not miss it that much, as my cooking has changed and evolved into a healthier diet since those days....

Pumpkin Donuts Made Allergy Friendly

It is pumpkin time!  They are popping up in stores and in the décor of many homes and landscaping.  For many that means time for homemade pumpkin treats.  Now, I am not a big fan of pumpkin as far as taste is concerned, but that doesn’t mean everyone feels like I do.  In fact, I think I may be in the minority…even in my own family. So, here’s what happened.  A local grocery store...

Fresh Tomato Salad

Tomatos or tomatoes. However you spell it, it seems like people either love them or hate them.  I fall into the category of loving tomatoes.  And while they are technically a fruit, they are often classified as a vegetable.  I use them often and in a wide variety of ways.  As you follow this blog you will find this to be true. Tomatoes are worth liking to me.  They are chuck full of ...

Hello!  It’s been a long time since I’ve posted anything.  I’ve been making a lot of the same things over and over and well, life gets in the way sometimes. But I wanted to share with you this bread recipe I’ve been making very often since last March.  It’s very easy and extremely tasty! This bread requires the use of a lot of eggs.  Thankfully, I’m at a point that I can tolerate...

Smoky Black Bean Dip

I love raw veggies and hummus and vegetable dips!  There is always something in the fridge to dip into. Now it’s time for a new twist! Introducing Smoky Black Bean Dip.  It’s just like hummus, only hummus is technically only made with chickpeas. This is really good with raw veggies and even tortilla chips.  Sometimes it comes out looking brown and sometimes it almost looks purple…which...

Mostly Vegetable Smoothie

It’s been awhile since I’ve posted anything.  I’ve just been making the same ole things over and over. But with the advent of spring, warmer temps, budding trees, I’ve felt the desire to start making new things in the kitchen again. So, with that, I give you this mostly vegetable smoothie. It’s a perfect way to “detox” from all the heavy winter foods. This is one of those recipes...

Udi’s Gluten Free Thin & Crispy Pizza Crusts

admin February 9, 2016 0 Comments
Disclaimer:  I was not asked to write this nor was I compensated. I pretty much skip over the gluten free sections of grocery stores and stick to naturally gluten free foods.  Or I make it myself.  It is more cost efficient and much healthier. However, I did feel like giving these Udi's Thin & Crispy Pizza Crusts a try. They are gluten free, as well as soy, nut and dairy free!  They do...

Grain Free Gluten Free Coconut Flour Biscuits

admin January 19, 2016 6 Comments
I’m intrigued by Paleo baking. For those who don’t know…that is baking without any grains…even gluten free ones. A lot of Paleo recipes I see call for the use of eggs. Especially if one is using coconut flour. That usually requires the use of a lot of eggs. While I normally avoid eggs, I am at a point where I can eat them in a baked good on occasion. One thing I’ve been making with...

I am excited to share this recipe with you today as I don’t post new recipes as much as I used to. This is an old recipe that is coming out of retirement and getting a gluten free, dairy free makeover. (Originally, it came from some magazine...I have it cut out and taped to an index card). Years ago, I made this frequently and in my house it actually goes by a different name. It’s named after...

Blueberry Banana Smoothie

If you are a fan of food blogs, I’m sure you heard mention of high-speed or high-powered blenders such as Vitamix, Ninja, or Blendtec by now. I’ve finally joined the ranks and I am not looking back! Never will I go back to a standard blender again! My high-speed/powered blender can obliterate anything! In mere seconds. Take this blueberry smoothie for instance. (Yes, the picture isn't...
