We always add mulling spices to our apple cider. Even the cider that says “spiced” isn’t strong enough for us. Mulling spices include cinnamon, cloves, ginger, orange and lemon peel. If you’ve never added mulling spices to your apple cider, I highly recommend it. Spiced apple cider and maple candy are perfect for fall and…
Persimmon Gluten Free Scones
It’s that time of year again—persimmon time. Last year at this time I ate my very first persimmon. I thought it was the most delicious thing I had ever tasted. Right up there with fresh steamed artichokes. Bliss. And now they’re hear again, my lovely persimmons. Of course I love to eat persimmons raw, so…
Thumbprint Cookies Demo & Talk
Thanks so much to everyone who came to my cooking demo and talk in Erie today! Last month (before we went to the wedding) my oven died, as you may remember if you follow me on Facebook. Then last week before we moved my blender carafe broke. I thought I was going…
Super Healthy Cookies cookbook review
Three words: Super Healthy Cookies. Ohhh… yea. I got my review copy of Hallie’s latest book, Super Healthy Cookies, and it’s right up my alley. All of the recipes look amazing, but since we have become grain-free I was thrilled to find 23 grain-free recipes – almost half of the book! These recipes use all…
Gluten-free Pumpkin Pancakes
I am so excited that it’s fall. Fall is absolutely my favorite time of year. And this fall is already extra special because my husband’s sister got married last week and we were all in her wedding. The wedding was at Lake George in upstate New York, where the Brozynas have been vacationing for generations….
Stuffed Acorn Squash
Hi again from Lake George, New York! Tomorrow is our last day here before we begin heading back. On Sunday we will take the train again, this time getting off at Penn Station, and spending the evening and Monday morning in the city. From there we fly back to Denver. It’s been such a great…
Tegan’s Wedding
Andy’s sister Tegan got married in upstate New York yesterday—Lake George to be exact. Andy’s family has been coming here for generations. It’s a very special place, and it was a very special day : ) All of us were in the wedding, and you should have seen Zoe and Ashley walking down the aisle…
Very Cherry & Rainbow Chard Smoothie
It’s been a few days now since we discovered the gluten in a supplement that was causing Ashley problems, and I can’t tell you how much I appreciated all of your comments and love. I couldn’t help feeling upset, and as I told Tom when he called this weekend, there was also this overwhelming relief…
and the trouble appears to be…
Yesterday I shared how terrible Ashley has been feeling lately. Then last night my friend Tom Malterre called and questioned me about every supplement I give Ashley. And guess what we found? Wheat germ. Ugh. It was like having an out-of-body experience when I found it. I thought I must be mistaken. I wanted to…
Finding Comfort in Soup & Simplifying
It’s time for a little heart to heart conversation between me and you. I’ve hinted at it in recent posts, but I thought it would be best to really share what’s been going on. Times have been hard with autism lately. That big bad wolf has seriously reared it’s ugly head. The last time Ashley…
