Wow. So, I’ve been given the incredible privilege of being the new Food Editor at Wives of Faith. Today I put up a recipe for Fresh Corn and Poblano Cream Soup that everyone should try before the end of summer’s corn harvest. Go check it out!
**Recipe is Gluten Free**

I’m beginning to realize just how tough it is for people with Celiac to survive in this country with all of the glutens hidden in items you’d never imagine. Still on my campaign to make healthy, delicious food for my mom, who is blessed to live gluten free, I’ve started to slowly adapt recipes to make them fit into a G-Free world. Continue reading G- Free General Tso’s Chicken

My friend Sarah makes the best baked beans on earth. A few bites in and you’ve had a complete meal. Packed with butter beans, pinto beans, kidney beans, navy beans, cannolini beans, browned beef, molasses, ketchup, onions, garlic, mustard and a million other things, it’s like an explosion of flavor in one bite. Sadly, we don’t have a recipe for her baked beans because she never makes them the same way twice, opting to throw this and that in to create her masterpiece. Continue reading Simple Baked Beans

There really isn’t anything Aloha about this recipe except that the star ingredients are similar to a Hawaiian pizza. What this recipe is, is a kiss and a nod to my friend Li Li who is an incredible cook. Seriously. We don’t get invited to dinner at other people’s houses very often, opting to go out with our friends if I don’t feel like cooking. Continue reading Hawaiian Fried Rice
This is long overdue, since I’ve known about this initiative for months and am just now realizing what a great idea it is to share it with all of you who visit my little website. I realize that I have the ability to touch a different group of people who aren’t all military centered, so I hope those of you who are not connected with Soldiers’ Angels take a moment to do so, as well as take advantage of this incredibly generous offer from The Zac Brown Band (who I LOVE)! Continue reading Zac Brown Band & Soldiers Angels (Letters for Lyrics)

A few months ago my mom was diagnosed with Celiac Disease. If you’re unfamiliar with Celiac, that’s okay, I’ll give you a brief tid-bit. Elisabeth Hasselbeck brought awareness to it a few years ago with her book, The G-Free Diet. Basically, people with celiac are allergic to glutens. Glutens release a toxin that gets into the small intestine which doesn’t allow food to break down, causing serious pain and discomfort. Yummy, right? Continue reading Gluten Free Pasta Salad

“I miss my favorite” was the first and only communication I’ve received from him in 2 weeks. Continue reading My Favorite

A few months ago I was inspired to redecorate my living room mantel. For years we had the requisite framed mirror, candles, wedding photo, all arranged beautifully. It wasn’t us though. Simply put, the mantel was the magazine mantel, the one everyone has. Layla, at The Lettered Cottage redid her mantel for Spring and instantly I was entranced. You can change what’s on the mantel? It doesn’t have to be symmetrical? It doesn’t have to be cookie-cutter perfect? Continue reading The Patriot’s Mantel

After a very long and hard winter, The Husband and I treated ourselves to a weekend away. We didn’t go far, opting to drive to Omaha for a romantic weekend. Does the Henry Doorly Zoo and SAC museum count as romantic? In our world it does. I busted out of work early and we hit the road as fast as we could. Sadly, this vacation took place almost two months ago but things have been so crazy that my brain thinks it’s still January. Someone please tell me how it’s already May! 4th! Tomorrow is Cinco De Mayo and I don’t have a single cumin scented recipe to share with you! Blasphemy! Enough with the overuse of exclamation points! Continue reading Spring Break: 2010

Take an inside look at my life inside the silent ranks, the ups and downs of loving a military man and putting our country first. Plus... come along for a sneak peek as the camouflage comes off and I share my love of healthy cooking, photography and kicking butt at Kick-boxing.
