This time of year, holiday cookies and desserts seem to be the star of the show. Last holiday season, I made some gorgeous Pomegranate Poached Pears simply by poaching pears in pomegranate juice, grape juice and some warm spices. They were such a hit with my kids that I wanted to make more this year. [...]

I used to make lots of cookies around the holidays, but I found myself tasting a few too many from all the batches of cookies. This past year, with the discovery that my youngest son is allergic to wheat and other foods, I’ve really cut back on my holiday baking. These Peanut Butter Cookies with [...]

This is a big week for Americans celebrating Thanksgiving. Although turkey is traditionally served as the main course, it’s likely that many of you will have at least one guest who is vegetarian, vegan, or gluten-free.

Thanksgiving Day should be a day for both the cook and the family to relax, but oftentimes, the cook spends the better part of the day in the kitchen. At least, that’s what used to happen in my house until I realized that so many of the Thanksgiving dishes could be prepared ahead of time. [...]

I’ve roasted cauliflower, broccoli, beets, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and brussels sprouts, all using the same technique. It is super easy and quick, making it my go-to method for preparing vegetables on short notice, perfect for Thanksgiving and the Holidays. So [...]

Thanksgiving side dishes and desserts have been on my mind the last few weeks. I’ve been a little stressed about coming up with gluten-free foods that will taste good, look good and meet the dietary restrictions of my son this Thanksgiving, and through the holidays. This is the first holiday season since we discovered my [...]

Recently, a friend asked me if I knew what she could eat to help her heal from surgery. I hadn’t really thought about foods that helped speed the healing and recovery process after surgery.

One of my kids’ favorite desserts when the weather gets cooler is apple crisp. This season, I’ve played around with a few gluten-free apple crisp toppings since one of my kids is on a gluten-free diet. I’ve made a few variations the past several weeks, and finally came up with a gluten-free topping for apple [...]
