Mama-In-Law’s Creamed Spinach

The Husband, who was simply The Kinda-Sorta Boyfriend/Fiancé at that time picked me up at the Raleigh Airport.  It had been months since we’d seen each other.  He left me, smack in the middle of the US of A and returned to his base in Korea four and half months earlier.  He’d been re-stationed [...]

Gluten Free Blueberry Boy Bait

My brother is gearing up to deploy again.  If he’s CONUS during the summer, he’ll be homeward bound.  Nothing can keep the man from spending time in his beloved Midwest.  Rumor has it, as soon as his plane landed he was headed to Gates BBQ to start his five day tour of BBQ.  There’s a [...]

Gluten Free Banana Whoopie Pies with Peanut Butter Cream

Soon after my diagnosis I found myself with a bunch of over-ripe bananas.  Normally I’d make a banana bread, but I wasn’t feeling sure-footed enough to jump on the bread bandwagon yet, regardless if it was a quick bread.

Simple Baked Beans

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 [...]

Hawaiian Fried Rice

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 [...]

Gluten Free Pasta Salad

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 [...]
