    Muffins are so versatile. You can add any of your favorite ingredients, apple, nuts, raiseos, just about anything. These muffins have no fruit and no nuts, but still are our favorite.

    Apple Slaw – Forget the cabbage! Cole Slaw is a favorite at our house. Recently my crisper housed zero cabbage, but lots of fall apples. So why not?

    Coconut Cookies – Just Right Any Time!

    Sometimes a little cookie can top off a meal, dress up a cup of coffee, and put a smile on a child’s face. I enjoy making cookies for my grandkids. In fact, I make them more now than I did for my own kids.  I think time was more of a factor back then. Anyway, I…

    Fresh coffee or creamy, hot cocoa cry out for a cake donut. Heck, I just cry out for them with or without coffee or cocoa. I have been craving a cake donut for a bit but could never make myself grab one when I was at the grocery store. My craving didn’t go away so…

    Panella – A Snack Favorite! It’s Gluten-Free!

    Panella is an Italian favorite. It is used as a snack and even used to fill slices of bread as a tasty sandwich. However you use it, it is good and just a bit different. Panella is gluten-free and high in protein because it is made with chickpea flour.  Now if you are one of…
