Innovative Low Carb, Gluten-Free Recipes
Don’t forget to enter to win the Wilton Whoopie Pie Pan and other Wilton goodies! It is nobody’s birthday in my house. Nobody. Not even close. We’re all late Fall and Winter babies in this household. My three kiddos are October, November and December, my husband is right after Christmas and I am in early [...]
Americans come up with best names for their sweets and treats. Think about it. Snickerdoodles. Ding Dongs. Whoopie Pies. Let’s face it, those words are as much fun to say as the food is to eat. Although I’ve never had a ding dong and I am not about to start now. And the first time [...]
I would say that green tea is definitely an acquired taste. I suppose the same can be said for black tea and coffee and other bitter hot beverages. But I grew up drinking those and only came around to green tea slowly. I remember some awful cups of it served at mediocre Chinese restaurants in [...]
If I told you this was a Father’s Day post, you might think I was extremely well organized and ahead of the game. I mean, a week and a half ahead, and Carolyn’s already posting Father’s Day ideas? That girl is on the ball! I wish I was as organized as Carolyn, she really leads [...]
As you read this, I am attending my first ever food blogging conference. Not only am I attending, but I will actually be presenting as well. Nourished Food Blogger Conference is the first of its kind, a unique conference devoted to gluten and allergen-free bloggers. And in my case, those who are somewhat carb-averse too. [...]
So, I have probably bragged enough about how my husband surprised me a few weeks ago with a night away from the kids. I won’t keep blathering on about it, except to tell you how this recipe was inspired by that little interlude. We had dinner at a wonderful place in Boston’s South End called [...]
Pin ItI would count my 39th birthday as one of my all-time favourite birthdays. For one thing, I can still say I am in my thirties without lying through my teeth…yet. For another, I had a visit from my father over my birthday weekend, and spending time with family these days to me always counts [...]
Once upon a time, I used to say that I didn’t really like cake. And by cake, I meant the traditional sort of sponge cake with piles of frosting. I’d simply had too many of those out-of-a-box-with-canned-icing type cakes and they were virtually flavourless, except for being so sweet as to make my teeth ache. [...]
I can distinctly remember the first time I had a dacquoise. This is perhaps because I haven’t had all that many, and so the first stands out clearly. But I do know that it was something of a revelation to me. My father had flown out to see me at university around my birthday and [...]
You know, I am really not much of one for Valentine’s Day. Call me a grinch, or whatever the term might be on the holiday of love, but it’s not one I’ve ever paid much attention to. I don’t even remember getting all that fussed about it as a teenager, when the throes of love [...]
