I know, I know, this should have been a recipe for the beginning of summer! But these easy refrigerator pickles can really be made any time of year. I had a crazy cucumber plant in my garden and it produced so much fruit that I needed to find something to do with them all!! Seriously, I…

Gluten-Free Italy: Rome and Florence
I am back from Italy and it was everything I could have dreamed of and more. Not only the history, architecture, and people, but just the feeling in the air! And, the food. The gluten-free food in Italy was OUT OF THIS WORLD! I traveled to Italy with my aunt, my cousin, and my sister….
Gluten-Free Banana Bread Muffins

Gluten-Free ½ Batch Chocolate Chip Cookies
I’m not joking when I say that I have made no less than 15-20 batches of these gluten-free chocolate chip cookies to get them just right. I just could not perfect them!! This recipe is not about the actual ingredients. It’s nothing unique. It’s all about the technique. I have it figured out and these…
