Dark Chocolate Blondies (grain-free, no refined sugar)
Typically, I don’t mention the specific brand I use in a recipe unless it is integral to the recipe’s success or I just really love the product for one reason or another. I first became familiar with Bob’s Red Mill many years ago when my dad discovered he had to eliminate gluten. He never complained about all the…
Cheddar Hash Brown Crust
Some time ago, I shared a recipe that was essentially a speedy solution to a missing ingredient.

A family favorite meatloaf recipe masquerades as a cake in this tricky dinner that delights kids and adults alike! My dad’s favorite April Fool’s joke wouldn’t play very well this year.
