Banana Bread Breakfast Bars
A satisfying grab-and-go breakfast or snack, Banana Bread Breakfast Bars are easy to make and allergy friendly. This basic breakfast bar recipe is made with no refined sugar, wheat flour, or dairy and can be made egg-free. But most importantly, it tastes great. Since hitting on the ingredient combination in the recipe below, I…

“Nice Cream” – pick your favorite flavor
One unexpected ingredient creates a creamy treat, to which other flavors can be added for a deliciously satisfying, dairy-free alternative to ice cream. As much as we adore our summertime scoops of ice cream from our favorite parlors (Carmen & David’s or Springer’s anyone?), this faux ice cream is shockingly delicious and refreshing–especially when you…
Stars & Stripes Giveaway
Update: The giveaway has ended and the winner is Tarn Alfson (she selected the Blue Willow mixer). Congratulations, Tarn, and thank you to all who entered. Can you believe that the 4th of July is just around the corner? With the school year extending well into June for so many this year, July seemed to…
Little Bites
Too often, I make new things but don’t get around to sharing them. I jot down the ingredients I’ve thrown together with every intention of typing them later. The piece of scrap paper I’ve inevitably grabbed to write down the recipe is, occasionally, never to be found again. Or the pile of papers I placed…
What do you snack on?
What do you grab when you have the munchies before mealtime or when you end up with last-minute dinner guests? Nuts and cheese make for convenient and satisfying choices, and a bag of frozen edamame, quickly boiled, is perfect to bolster the mix when company arrives. My husband’s family has always been a cheese-and-cracker crowd,…
Barbecued Bean Salad
A crowd-pleasing, family-friendly alternative to baked beans, this protein-rich salad can be prepared in advance and the flavor improves over time. As I walked to school with my younger son one morning last month, he mentioned that his 6th grade history class’s Colonial unit would be culminating with a special lunch. All students were…
Slow Grilled Baby Back Ribs
The cooking time for these crowd-pleasing ribs is long but the effort is minimal – and the results are nothing short of finger-licking good! Though my husband doesn’t do a lot of cooking, his talents shine bright when it comes to the grill. He has the Midas touch when it comes to tender, juicy chicken…
Strawberry Rhubarb Cobbler (gluten-free with an almond-oat topping)
Sweet strawberries and tart rhubarb are a match made in heaven in this easy-to-make dessert that is destined to become a seasonal favorite! In an effort to make my tried-and-true recipe for Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp into an equally loved gluten-free dessert for company a couple of years ago, I realized that I had essentially turned…
Favorite Thin Gluten-Free Pizza Crust
When planning a recent extended family birthday dinner, my sister-in-law joked that we are a pathetic bunch with the combined list of food restrictions. Gluten-free, dairy-free, seafood allergy, vegetarian, and allergies to soy and a few other common foods thrown in for good measure. Picky eaters are the least of our worries! But in all…
Giant Chipwich Cake
Get ready to see eyes pop and smiles stretch from ear to ear! As an added bonus, this recipe can be prepared in steps and stored in your freezer until needed. I vividly remember bringing my first baby home from the hospital. That first evening, my husband and I sat in our screen porch just…
Smoked Mozzarella, Pancetta and Kale Pizza
Pizza night is always popular here. The kids and my husband have a few long-standing favorites, so a new recipe has to be really good to earn a spot in the regular rotation! Recently, I received a delicious care package from Formaggio Cheese to use in a Cooking Planit recipe in conjunction with a contest involving readers’…
