Oven Roasted Chicken Thighs

admin November 21, 2013 3 Comments
We love this simple entrée.  Chicken thighs spiced just so and roasted to perfection; it is pure comfort food.    I find that using fresh, never frozen chicken thighs works best simply because they roast so much faster.  Even after defrosting 24 hours, it always seems to take longer to reach internal temp of 180 F. when I use previously frozen thighs. These chicken thighs are never dry,...

Rice Milk Powder

Have you ever seen recipes that call for soy milk powder?  I have seen a lot of those recipes.  While we do not have allergies to soy, we like to avoid it most of the time (it mimics estrogen way too much).  For whatever reason, I have never seen it stated anywhere that one could use rice milk powder.  I did not even know there was such a thing until I was dairy free for over a year.  So...

admin November 15, 2013 5 Comments
I have not made gluten free bread until a few months ago.  And I still do not very often.  But I did find this one loaf that is really good.  Welcome to Fun Finds Friday! Do you see the steam coming off the 'fresh from the oven' bread? Can't you just smell it? Like I said earlier, this is a good loaf of bread, but it is also a lot of work to put together. The recipe has a lot of ingredients...

Fun Finds Friday – Grain Free Biscuits

I have to limit my grains and be sugar free for a while (more on that to come).  So that means I have been having acorn squash, sweet potatoes and pea protein shakes for breakfast.  I need some sort of bread, at least occasionally.  So I found this recipe for grain free biscuits.  These are perfect for breakfast if you make them the night before.  Topped with thawed frozen peaches this is...

Honey Mustard Boneless Pork Chops

It may be nearing October’s end, but I’m still grilling!  I don’t like grilling in the dark though, so as soon as the sun sets around 4:30 pm, I’ll have to quite grilling for a few months.  Bummer!  But until then, I’m still firing it up.  I have a gas grill.  It’s so easy to turn on, heats up quickly, and you do not have to worry about the flames going out.   So today’s...

Have you eaten a plethora of zucchini and summer squash?  We have and this is one side dish that doesn’t get old; at least not for us.   This is so simple I can barely call it a recipe.  It almost seems silly to put it on here.  But simple doesn’t mean tasteless.  No!  It is very tasty.   Do you eat zucchini and summer squash?

Sensational Sweet Potato Cupcakes With Maple Infused “Buttercream” Frosting

admin October 11, 2013 15 Comments
Today’s recipe is one of my all-time favorites!  And one of my best! It is something I created for a recipe contest.  I didn’t win, which was a real bummer, but I’m thinking the lack of eggs, soy, wheat and milk in the recipe made the judges go, “huh?”  without even trying it.  What a shame because this is the BEST CUPCAKE EVER!   Then Angel from The Wellness Angel asked me to be a...
