Well, do you count something as a failure if you’ve learned something in the process? The Whole30 (elimination diet) I talked about before actually became a Whole8 instead, mostly because I was feeling sicker and sicker every day when I was doing the diet. Most people start an elimination diet because they’re trying to heal… Read more

Mango Peach Orange Popsicles
The weather is turning beautiful, FINALLY. I am really looking forward to having some nice and sunny days. What I am not looking forward to is the HOT weather and the allergies. Stupid allergies. I’m pretty much allergic to everything, and so far this year has been kicking my butt. It almost makes me miss… Read more
Raspberry Oat Bars (Vegan, Egg/Dairy/Gluten Free)
I’ve been drawn to vegan recipes for a while now. Not that I have any inclination to turn vegan, but they can have some VERY healthy desserts and I don’t feel quite as guilty eating a vegan dessert as I do a regular dessert. I think that’s just because I sometimes feel guilty eating butter… Read more
Caramel Corn
I’ve been looking into popcorn makers for a few weeks, and I could never get myself to actually pull the plug and buy one. I couldn’t justify spending the $20+ to buy something for the sole purpose of making popcorn. Even though I had been having a horrible, almost pregnancy style craving for caramel corn.… Read more
Peppermint Bark
I’m not that big of a chocolate fan, but my husband is. He loves the fact that I like cooking with chocolate, or making candies and he gets most of them.

I have a confession. It’s rather sad but true. I’m really not that big of a chocolate person. Does that make me less of a woman? When looking at a dessert or something sweet, I never really went for the chocolate. Sure there was the required Snickers bar in the morning during high school for… Read more
Marshmallows!
The best type of reaction you can get while cooking or learning to cook is the look and exclamation of “You made WHAT?!” This has happened to me more than a few times. Mostly with these lovely home made marshmallows. Yes! You can actually make marshmallows at home. However they are completely different than anything… Read more
Flourless Chocolate Cake
This cooking I did over the weekend just seemed to go so well! Last week I ran out of flour. No really, I actually forgot to buy myself some flour. I was at a loss all week because I wanted to bake something. I don’t know that I would have baked something but since there… Read more
Dark Chocolate Truffles
I have a new thing I want to start making. Finger food. I love the idea of being able to eat with your hands. Simple one bite packages that deliver taste and you don’t have to use a fork. For my first foray into the little bites section of my cooking experience, I give dessert:… Read more
