Originally posted March 26, 2016 Spring is the time for weekend daytime parties with Mother’s and Father’s day, graduations, bridal showers, and more. Brunch is often laden with gluten-filled items like quiche, muffins, breads, and waffles. Luckily, it’s easy to find tasty gluten-free equivalents and options.

Originally posted June 23, 2012 I just want you to know that I don’t know and don’t claim to know how to cook everything. Some things I’m not interested in and some things…well, intimidate even me. I suppose the biggest factor in trying something new is giving myself enough time to fiddle with it…
