Menu Monday: Butternut Squash

It’s Menu Monday again.  I’m terrible at menu planning because I have no idea what our evenings will bring, so it’s easy to post our meals after the fact. This was supposed to be posted on Monday, but I posted something else…and then something else.  

Gluten-free Peanut Butter Cup Cookie Dough Dip

Gluten-free Peanut Butter Cup Cookie Dough Dip

I made this recipe (minus the almond meal) a couple of weeks ago to take to a friend’s house to watch the US v. Mexico soccer match.  I “tasted” too much of it while making it (and before I ate anything for dinner) and I 

Cauliflower Crust Pizza

A few years ago I made cauliflower crust pizza, loved it, and completely forgot about it.  About a month ago, Loren got an Adriatico’s pizza after work to take camping with him and his friends for the Mid-Ohio race because you can get a huge

If you’ve ever been to Ohio, especially central Ohio and Ohio State University, you’ve probably had buckeye candy at one point or another.  If you haven’t, that’s crazy and you need to get on that.  Buckeyes are pretty much amazing.  They are a staple during

Last week I was dying for quesadillas almost everyday.  We didn’t really have any dinner plans and Lo said “go make yourself a dang quesadilla”.  Just kidding that’s from Napoleon Dynamite.  We had hot dogs one night and I didn’t really like them, so while 

Chicken Enchiladas with Homemade Enchilada Sauce

Chicken Enchiladas with Homemade Enchilada Sauce

Casserole recipes never look very appealing for photos….. The other night we had some extra chicken breasts in the fridge that needed used up, along with an extra pack of corn tortillas, so enchiladas was a no-brainer (plus it wasn’t very hot outside, so it 

Gluten Free Spanish Tortilla

I tore this recipe from a Clean Eating magazine last month and set it aside, so when I found a few pounds of potatoes in the cupboard, it was time to try out the recipe. It seemed like a simple enough recipe, so I decided

Betty Crocker Gluten Free Mixes and Giveaway

Contest has ended: Sarah S. is the winner! I was contacted by MyBlogSpark to see if I would be interested in reviewing the Betty Crocker Gluten Free Baking Mixes.  I was all about it because I like baking, but don’t want to mess with mixing 

Cranberry Lentil Salad

Cranberry Lentil Salad

Lentils are one of my favorite grains…or beans…or seeds.  Whatever they are, I really like them.  I don’t make them nearly enough, which is kind of crazy because they are super easy.  They cook faster than rice and have more flavor than quinoa.  They are
