Shepherd’s Pie with Gratifying Gravy

I ventured for my first time to Balsam Mountain in the Catskills (http://www.trimbleoutdoors.com/ViewTrip/1325324). Boy, did the weather forecast get this one wrong!

Avocado and Spinach Scramble

Today we’re preparing for Sandy’s arrival. No, not a dear friend, a Frankenstorm just in time for Halloween.

Delicious Vegan and Gluten Free Pizza

Who doesn’t want a pizza night? When I had to transition to a gluten-free diet (and a xantham gum & tapioca flour free diet) I was on a mission to develop a delicious dough. Just because you are on an allergen-restricted diet doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice your food! Gluten-free dough is tricky and…
