Thai Chicken Wraps
Posted on December 28, 2009
These light and healthy Thai Chicken Wraps are an easy and refreshing entrée and a simple “one pot meal” to boot. I often make them with leftover chicken, though I sometimes use leftover fish –any type of protein will do. The other night I served this to my children with salmon and my little one

Vanilla Roasted Walnuts
Posted on December 24, 2009
I’m slightly addicted to these Vanilla Roasted Walnuts and so is my husband. They have a hint of sweetness and a nice burst of vanilla goodness. On top of that, Walnuts are a great source of Omega-3′s, have a high antioxidant count and are also beneficial for cardiovascular health. So I’m on the walnut bandwagon.

Homemade Hot Apple Cider
Posted on December 14, 2009
Many apple cider recipes have sugar added to them and are overly sweet, for my taste. This recipe however goes in the other direction, I add water to it to dilute the natural sweetness of the apple juice. This also stretches the amount, making the recipe more economical. I made this the other day during

Appetizers for a Holiday Party
Posted on December 4, 2009
Big news in the gluten free world. The Denver Post has named The Gluten-Free Almond Flour Cookbook one of the best cookbooks of 2009. The reason I find this to be somewhat amazing is that some people out there look down on gluten free; some have even told me that gluten free food has a

Creamy Onion Salad Dressing
Posted on December 1, 2009
This Creamy Onion Salad Dressing does have a bit of a zing to it, I admit. I like it though, as it’s somewhat warming during the cold winter spell we’re having. My younger son liked this gluten free dressing so much that he not only ate it on his salad last night, he drizzled it
