Green bean casserole is a popular Thanksgiving dish.  But with the cream soup and French fried onions it is not allergy friendly.  While I love green beans plain, that does not seem festive enough for Thanksgiving.    So I came up with a special way to fix green beans.  To me, it seems like a good holiday side dish.  However, this does not need to be limited to holiday dinners.  It could...

I love cranberries.  I could eat them year around.  Growing up, the grade school I attended always had a turkey supper fundraiser.  Each table would be set with about 2 ounces of cranberry sauce for a table of six or eight.  Even as a child, I thought that was ridiculous.  I could eat more than 2 ounces myself!    Cranberries are good for your urinary tract system, can help prevent plaque...

Finding a milk free hot chocolate mix is nearly impossible!  I have been looking for two plus years.

You may see this title and write this off as a recipe you may not want to try.  I encourage you to not do that.  You will be missing out on an easy and quick meal.  You may hesitate to try something spicy, but you can adjust the seasonings to your liking.  It is always a good thing to try new things…expand your horizons and taste buds.  Adding spice to your meal may add spice to your...
