Do you ever get dinner all ready and then realize it’s missing something? Gotta hate it when that happens and you’ve got company coming for dinner! That’s when I whip out this last-minute fruit salad. (And I mean last minute. I’ve made it in under a minute, whew!)

My favorite yogurt flavor with this salad is Lemon, yum! And of course it is to-die-for-good...

The dreaded Science Fair project….ug right?!

Well, this year my boys did a project I found very interesting. They ran some experiments to see if they could get gluten-free bread to stay moist beyond two days.

I love homemade pudding! It polishes off so many great dessert recipes. But my favorite way to eat it is with fruit filled crepes.

The beauty of making homemade pudding is that you can make it dairy free if your diet restricts dairy products. It meets that creamy-smooth-sweet craving you get when avoiding dairy.

Use this recipe to make Vanilla,...

As much as I love the pizza in Irresistibly Gluten Free, I just had to try making a Chicago Style Pizza.

The crust turned out great, and the whole family loved it. I can’t wait to try it with different toppings and cheeses!

The beauty of this pizza is that I can double the recipe and make 2 pizzas (9 x 13 inch each) and bake enough pizza for...

I’m no mathematician. Dividing and multiplying fractions makes me feel like I’ve lost 1/2 my mind! So just to prove to all of my past math teachers that I will NEVER use math in real life, I’ve made a couple cheat sheets I use when cooking.

I keep these “Cooking Measures” charts on my fridge and refer to them often. Anyone who does a lot of cooking...

Talk about a refreshing salad! This salad is so crisp and tasty, with just the right amount of sweet.

I never liked asparagus until the day I tried this salad. Now I make it as a side by itself, but always cooked this way; lightly sautéed with garlic and lemon… delish!

Cake… for dinner?

This April Fools Day Cake was a big hit with my kids last year on April Fool’s Day. I set the table with this baby in the middle. One after another my kids came in and asked “Are we having cake… for dinner?!” (You’d think they know me better than that!)

So here’s the trick. The cake is really...

My  son Keaton has a thing for Winger’s Amazing Sauce. He puts it on anything! As much as I like the sauce, I can’t quite eat it on waffles like he does.

But I LOVE it on pork. It is tangy and spicy, just right for a sweet and spicy pork roast. And best of all, it is made with gluten-free ingredients.

I  have a few fast and easy dinner ideas that I whip out on those nights when all the powers of the universe combine to thwart my plans to make dinner for my family. And Kung Pao Chicken is one of my favorites.

I use the Sun-Bird brand seasoning mix. It does not state that it is gluten-free on the package, but looking at the ingredient list it looks safe. (It is not dairy-free...

These Chicken Quesadillas are great for a fast and delicious lunch, or a perfect compliment to soup or salad. Although they have onions and chillies, even my pickiest kid loves them. They are not spicy, but have a great flavor.

I like to do mine baked because I can fit 6 Quesadillas on one cookie sheet. So fast and easy. You can use any cheese you like, I use a mix of sharp cheddar...
