Gluten-Free Holiday Side Dish: Garlic Green Beans
Finding a gluten-free holiday side dish or two sometimes means making a change or two to a recipe to make it diet acceptable during the holidays. Creamy casseroles are a little bit of work to make gluten-free, so I tend to steer clear of those and make lighter dishes. Green bean casserole was long a…
Gluten-Free Holiday Side: Sweet Potato Soufflé
Navigating the holidays with guests or family members with dietary needs gets tricky. In our house, there are several of us with gluten issues, so we make almost all gluten-free holiday side dishes. Besides the bread that most of the gluten eaters demand I put on the table, everything is safe to eat for everyone….
Gluten-Free Holiday Side Dish: Andouille Sausage Stuffing
It’s about that time again where we start digging out the traditional recipes for our holiday meals and start preparing for the feast! Our family recipes need a bit of altering because we have a gluten-free family member, namely me, so I set out to make everything we usually do, but so they still taste…
Pumpkin Pie Martini Recipe for a Fall Party
Now that fall is upon us, we can officially break out in our happy pumpkin spice dance. Because, y’all, it’s pumpkin spice EVERYTHING season. I’m not exaggerating when I tell you even my mechanic offers pumpkin spice oil changes. Why is this pumpkin spice stuff everywhere? Because pumpkin spice is awesome, that’s why. Even International…
Peanut Butter Pie Parfait Recipe
This Peanut Butter Pie Parfait post is sponsored by International Delights. When I go to restaurants and they have peanut butter pie on the menu, it’s all I can do NOT to order it. It’s such a perfect dessert. Creamy peanut butter, chocolate and a crisp bit of graham cracker crust….just YUM! So when International…

Best Banana Bread Recipe Ever
There is nothing like the smell of baking banana bread! Especially when then end result is as delicious as this recipe. Banana bread was something I used to make out of necessity at my house. When we first got married, my husband would buy big bunches of bananas and then pretend like he was going…
The Perfect Pecan Praline Recipe
The best pralines I’ve ever had came straight out of New Orleans, and with Mardi Gras going on this week, I was inspired to make a few to celebrate. My grandmother, bless her, had a pretty fantastic pecan praline recipe, but after a lot of sifting through my files, I couldn’t find it. So I…
Picnic Perfect Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp Recipe
I have happily partnered with World Kitchen LLC to share the wonderful Pyrex® 100th Anniversary product line. All opinions are my own. Some things just get better with time. Old stories, memories and even good old family recipes. Pyrex is turning 100 this year, and we’re celebrating with a raised glass, a look down…
Liberte Mediterranee Yogurt Recipe & Giveaway
Every once in awhile in the morning, I want to shove aside my egg white and spinach omelet for something…sweeter…but that still fits within the {gluten-free} kinds of foods I like to eat. One of my favorites to dress up for breakfast that packs a good nutritional punch is yogurt. So much can be…
Best Ever Cream Cheese Frosting Recipe
Frosting will make or break your cake. It’s true. How many grocery store or mass produced slices have you had where, in politeness to the host, you’ve scraped the frosting off so the rest was somewhat edible? Or asked for another slice because the topping was so good? In my world, more than I can…
Stained Glass Sugar Cookie Recipe
Pretty little stained glass sugar cookies were served at our ornament making party–that and a cup of hot cocoa topped with a peppermint stick and the kids were in total bliss! Just like with the sugar cookie snack mix I showed you yesterday, you start this recipe with a bag of sugar cookie mix. That…
Sugar Cookie Snack Mix Christmas Neighbor Gift or Teacher Gift
This week, Christmas prep has gone into high gear! All the teachers, coaches and neighbors need to be accounted for, and I’ve been busy making up little gifts to give to everyone. A crowd favorite is this sugar cookie snack mix–it’s tiny pieces of sugar cookie mixed up with seasonal m&m’s. It’s the perfect combination…

10 Appetizer Recipes for Last Minute Entertaining
When I think about recipes for last minute entertaining, I’m reminded of an old southern cookbook I own where the author talks about a favorite family recipe, “lane cake.” The recipe is good, but what is most amusing about it is the reason it got it’s name. It’s a cake they can make in the…
Candy Corn Push Pops for Halloween
Making up crafty food around the holidays is always fun, especially if you have a few kiddos in your life. Not all the crafty food treats we give out around holidays like Halloween have to be a complete nutritional void–using a few fruits and some Silk Coconutmilk, you can create an yummy and creative Candy…
Cookies and Cream Five Minute Dessert #PartyReddi
I was asked to participate in the Reddi-wip #PartyReddi. Although I have been compensated, all opinions are my own. Party planning is hard work! It’s always a good idea to have at least a few treats on hand to make that are super quick to put together – like five minute dessert quick. These pretty…

Peach Teagaritas and Mango Peach Salsa Porch Sittin’
In the south, it is not uncommon to while away an afternoon sitting on the porch, drinking tall glasses of iced tea and shooting the breeze. It’s completely idyllic and a wonderful way to catch up with good friends and family. We called it “porch-sittin’” where we lived. Of course, people allowed a whole afternoon…
Toasted Coconut S’mores Cocktail
Summertime and s’mores are two things that are absolutely a perfect pair. But if you can’t make a bonfire to toast up some marshmallows on a balmy evening, you can whip out your cocktail shaker and make up a liquid second best with a Toasted Coconut S’mores Cocktail. Chocolate, marshmallow and a touch of Silk…
Summer Poppy Birthday Party
In the summertime, when the evenings cool off, I love taking things outdoors. When a friend wants a small celebration of their birthday, it’s a perfect time to pull a couple of tables and chairs out onto the lawn to celebrate. Twinkling lights, bright and cheery summer colors and good companionship make for a…
Dairy-Free Ice Cream Recipe for Healthy Summer Snacking
In summer, more than any other season, I crave ice cream. Rich, luscious melting in sweet rivulets across your tongue ice cream. Of course, satisfying that craving can’t happen now that dairy is off the menu. Thankfully, this summer treat has been saved by three ingredients and the blender — we can make all the…
Coconut Chicken Curry with Zucchini Noodles for an Informal Dinner Party
I know i’ve mentioned it a few times already, but once again, we moved into a new house last month. True to form, even though it’s been several weeks, I’m still not unpacked. I’ve found myself totally conflicted; I don’t have anything up on the wall and furniture is still everywhere, but I miss having…
Celebratory Champagne Cocktail Mixer Recipes
Part of the fun of a champagne bar (as seen in this post as part of a Shutterfly campaign) is creating a choose-your-own-adventure experience for your guests when it comes to their drinks. Lots of bottles of booze and recipes to follow create a bit of confusion or really icky tasting drinks for some, so it’s…
Coconut-Pecan Grain-Free Oatmeal – It’s What’s for Breakfast!
Breakfast for the gluten-free and paleo type grain-free eaters of the world often consists of eggs. I’ll be honest, it gets old scarfing down veggie omelets and bacon morning after morning…you start longing for a bagel, easy-to-fix cereal or nice warm bowl oatmeal. Sometime in the last two years I started making this mishmash “oatmeal” out of…
Boy’s Night In – Cigars and Scotch
This shop is part of a social shopper marketing insight campaign with Pollinate Media Group® and Scandinavian Tobacco Group Lane, but all my opinions are my own. #pmedia #CuberoLuxury https://my-disclosur.es/OBsstV My husband is a very hardworking guy.

Ad: Family Meal – Gluten-Free Chicken Bruschetta with Tyson’s
I’m a gluten-free eater always on the hunt for tummy-friendly food. A member of Collective Bias® Social Fabric® Community, I was able to try out the Gluten-Free Chicken from Tyson’s for compensation. But really, I just made dinner–an awesome dinner–that I was happy to share anyway. #CookItGF #CollectiveBias Every once in awhile you come up with…
Easy 30 Minute King Cake Recipe for Mardi Gras
While we don’t go overboard with a huge Mardi Gras party every year, we do like to at least celebrate the season and Fat Tuesday with a little bit of carnivale. One of the most identified and unique Mardi Gras dishes, besides cajun favorites like jambalaya and red beans, is the king cake. I know…
New Orleans Style Red Beans and Rice – Celebrating Mardi Gras
In case you weren’t aware, Mardi Gras is happening right now. It’s a few weeks of revelry every year in the Gulf Coast region that culminates on Fat Tuesday, the day before Ash Wednesday, every year. I was in New Orleans for a quick family trip last week, and it thrilled me to the tips…

Valentine’s Day Night In
Valentines Day doesn’t have to be about romantic love–it is a day to celebrate your love for your friends, your family or just about anyone you care about. Gather up a few girlfriends and have a party of your own with these ideas for inspiration. Start off your night with the girls with a “True…
