This is a perfect cookie for Santa. They’re easy to make, bite-sized and not too heavy. They remind me of Royal Dansk butter cookies. Plus, they go really well with a hot cup of tea or a glass of milk. I lifted this recipe from Twinings and modified the technique ever so slightly. I hope…

I can’t believe how easy it is to make applesauce! I know. I know. You seasoned applesauce-makers are probably thinking, “Dude, you’re an idiot, it’s just apples, some stuff and a little heat.” File this one under: Things I should have started doing a long, long time ago. So, how did I finally arrive here?…

I’m sorry I didn’t get this up yesterday. The days have been a little nuts lately and pretty much all of my attention has been devoted to Em. Anyway! I have some more gluten-free goodies today! Here’s the skinny: I recently cut sugar out of my diet and most carbs as well. It’s been weeks…

Today’s Mom It Down is going to be a bit different. There are two recipes below: the first one includes the use of artificial sweeteners, which is what the original recipe called for. The second recipe is modified based on the fact that neither my husband nor I can get over the taste of the…

My husband doesn’t particularly like sweets. So yesterday whenever he looked at me and said, “These scones might be the greatest thing I’ve ever eaten.” I knew I had succeeded. Finally! That should tell you how good these are. I converted my husband—at least for a day—with these scones. They are so good. They have…

These dinner rolls have a touch of sweet, a touch of spice and a touch of homemade goodness. They’re relatively quick to make (for yeast rolls) and quite easy as well. These rolls will go with just about anything and although I refer to them as “dinner rolls” they work pretty well with breakfast as…

These crackers are made from spelt flour, so I reckon they’re even gluten free. The time and money invested in this recipe is absurdly little. Gone are the days I drop 5 bucks for a box of organic crackers. These are perfect for kids! They’re also super healthy. What You Will Need Standard Cookie Sheet…

I love Halloween. Actually, I love every holiday but there’s just something about Halloween. Perhaps it’s the time of year? The fact that you get to be someone else for a day? I don’t know. But some of my most fond memories take place right around Halloween. And to this day I’m unable to sit…

Internet: I love the fall. I love it. I love everything about it—the clothing, colors, smells, foods, everything. This recipe screams fall to me. These muffins aren’t particularly healthy. If you want healthy, try this recipe from last week. But these muffins are awesome, in my opinion. And your house will smell amazing. What you will need…

OK, so here’s the skinny with this one, Toby Joe and I were kicking around over the weekend and wandered into a local eatery here called Urban Rustic. They sell local fruits, vegetables, sandwiches and baked goods. Toby Joe doesn’t like sweets, but on Saturday he was so hungry he settled for a muffin from…
