If we didn’t know our earthly dad, let’s say, but we found his diary one day, we would so want to read it to find out what kind of guy he is. This is much like our heavenly Father. He left the Bible (The Word) for us as His diary.

There was a tinge of feeling “less than”. And then, in my being I sensed a phrase of “you are worth waiting for”.

It stopped me in my tracks. Where else does this show up in my life? Everywhere. Absolutely everywhere. At home, at work, at play, at church or any group or meeting, or not, there was no place it was not.

Our sister Colleen’s sloppy Joe recipe. Sloppy Joe recipe using ground beef, a small onion, a can of pasta sauce and a can of tomato soup.

Our mother Edythe Fox’s fabulous moist and full of flavour hot crossed buns recipe that uses potato water for unparalleled moistness.

Raisin squares filling, old fashioned recipe from Edythe Fox our mom.

This is great when just when you think you have “nothing in the house” and voila! Pudding! Perfect recipe when unexpected company drops by…

Tastes like pizza without the carbs.

Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookies – buttery, slightly crispy, chewy goodness. No need to spend $2-$4 bucks each at the bakery

almond milk, Gluten Free, instant pot, rice pudding, soy free, vegan – the way hubby aka Uncle Stephan likes

This fudge is smooth and creamy – the salty of the pistachios beautifully offsets the sweetness of the white chocolate. My Gluten Free hubby is able to eat these 🙂

This is the pan version of Roasted Cauliflower that is every bit as scrumptious as the oven variety, however it’s less pots, less time (30 min less) and even (or especially) less volume, if needed.

Hallelujah! Finally 1 dish for the WHOLE family… Yep, you heard right, gluten free lasagna… NO BOIL noodles, just lay ’em and bake ’em. It gets better… They taste like regular noodles!

These are great hash brown casserole recipes for the “what to make for dinner?” Question …

Don’t call take-out, save your money… as long as you have a few ingredients on hand – this will be perfect (and it’s delicious to boot!) Known as a dinner dish, it’s also great for breakfast, brunch or lunch too. Hash Brown Potato Casserole Recipe…

It’s true, although fluffy and GF usually never go together, they do today, with this fluffy gluten free pancakes recipe! The hubby wanted pancakes last Sunday (crepes actually) and all the mixes I had been trying we all used up or thrown out – you GF’ers know what I mean. None were out of the […]

Yes you heard right and they are every bit as good, without the added deep fried fat. Or, like us who have family members that need to know every ingredient, we can’t always count on the good folks at the restaurant to be forthcoming (or accurate) with what is in the food. If we make […]

10min gluten free dinner, can this really be true? These wheat free, dairy free, soy free and nut free, gluten free pizza crusts were actually quite do-able and remarkably better than 99% of the pizza shop ones. Yes, one can taste the difference, however when loaded with your favourite toppings it’s great to have something […]

Yes you read right a 1 pot fun hearty soup dinner that’s ready in 15 minutes! Thanks again to my friend Julie for this one which she modified from her twin sister’s recipe. We had this at Julie & Ray’s house (Stephan, Ray was my friend first! LOL) one weekend where the hubbers & I […]

Two Bite Brownies Recipe Everything you want in a two bite, that crispy/chewy combo. 6 Tbsp cocoa camino cocoa powder ½ cup grapeseed oil (or other light salad oil – olive, canola etc) 1 cup cane sugar 2 eggs 3/4c gluten free cup for cup flour (OR  or “normal” flour if not gluten sensitive) ½ […]

Our version made with gluten free flour similar to Starbuck’s chewy original non-gluten free big chewy moist Ginger Cookies with a bit of a zing. This recipe is modified from an heirloom recipe in my friend Julie’s family for generations, in the great province of New Brunswick Ontario, Canada … close to our Newfie friends […]

My mom makes this recipe for when she feels like something different than the usual fare. It’s also for those days you don’t want  to put the oven on, or need dinner-in-a-hurry. It’s a versatile recipe too, for crab cakes, just substitute faux crab which can be just as delicious nowadays as real crab, and […]

This  Yorkshire Pudding Recipe for roast beef is the one we use for our family, and is also great with roast chicken or turkey…. use mini pans to make appetizers stuffed with pot-roast or mini bbq chicken pot pies.

This is a Canadian fusion variation on the traditional saffron jewel rice of the middle east, it dials back the warm spices like cardamom and allspice and adds in vegetables such as grated zucchini or yellow squash. Might add the element of surprise to the “typical potluck/picnic” as it goes well on it’s own for […]

Original recipe from my mom’s (who’s now 80! at the time of this post) calls to melt chocolate and shortening but… 3T cocoa + 1 T oil = 1 square of melted chocolate (use the good cocoa – cocoa camino – full flavour – Loblaws and maybe Zehrs or well.ca) And grapeseed oil works well […]

Working late this week, we needed a chewy pick-me-up… and since dad likes oatmeal cookies as well, and was on the mend, there’s two great reasons to create a new cookie! Plus a ‘nod to our Florida friends, one of whom, this is her favourite cookie, from what I understand, the realization set in after […]

I made these on Friday, and was going to take some to a function – after the hubby ate four of them, he confiscated them such that they would not leave the building! Normally I would put up a fuss, but it’s too hard to deprive a grown man of his new favourite cookies.

We cook the quinoa in the rice cooker – just like you would rice

Great as a side dish, or add in more protein (chick peas or meat) to make it a whole meal-in-a-bowl

Good hot, warm or cold – excellent for summer bbq picnics, potlucks, etc.

In 2hrs 46min we get beautiful loaves that rise above the top of the pan!

Super easy to make, no fussing, just throw a few ingredients in a pot, stir and then mix. Kids and hubbies like to help make this one.

I’ve always found roasted vegetables to have the most flavour. Here is an easy roasted cauliflower recipe, that brings the wow factor to the table.

– blue man group Swedish Chef Muppets style – this is brilliant, never gets old…
