Cassie my middle child is always asking me to make her favorite cookies, chocolate mint. Yesterday I decided to make the recipe a little different and found myself delighted with the results. I thought these cookies would also pair nicely with ice cream and make perfect ice cream sandwiches. They are easy to make and oh so delicious! My kids ate them up as fast as I could make them.

The aroma of fresh baked bread in the oven with the scents of pumpkin and cinnamon filled the air today as I spent the day baking. My house smells so good this time of year, makes me feel like inviting friends over. A week ago I was invited to a good friend’s house for a day of stamping. I felt so welcomed and blessed as I drove up to her home that was so beautifully decorated with the look of

Montana is known for being God’s Country, and if you have ever had the opportunity to hike in the beautiful mountains of Montana you understand why. I have been awaiting the opportunity to take a good hike in the mountains this summer. I have taken a few short hikes close to town which have been wonderful. Our church had a hiking group this summer that met on Thursdays to explore different

Fall is a great time to be preparing zucchini dishes. If you are like me you have zucchini coming out your ears. And if you don't have a garden I am sure you can find a friend who does who is willing to spare a few. This time a year I always see a basket of zucchini's at church free for the taking. I am always trying to think of fun things to make with my zucchini's. A friend of mine shared

Whether your child is newly diagnosed or been living with celiac disease or gluten intolerance for a long time, you may experience worries and or anxieties sending your children to school.

My quest for a healthy zucchini bread that still tastes good has ended today. It took 4 tries but I finally succeeded with a bread that met my expectations which tastes good, has great texture and the kids will still eat. I used Mama’s Coconut Blend Flour in the recipe because I thought it paired nicely with the coconut oil, but feel free to use any of your favorite GF flour blends. The Chia

Wondering what to do with that bowl full of cherries? It is cherry season everywhere as well as here in the beautiful Mission Valley. Everywhere along the highways and roadsides are signs saying "Flathead Cherries For Sale". Wondering what to do with our big bowl full of cherries, I decided to make some Chocolate Cherry Muffins. These muffins are delightful and such a fun way to eat cherries

Mock Rye Dill BreadThis past Saturday my mother in law, Roz, and I spent the day having a garage sale to help the kids raise money to go to camp. Her neighborhood was having a huge neighborhood sale and it really drew big crowds. We had a short window to enjoy lunch before the next group of bargain hunters came up our driveway.

Rhubarb Crumble BarsThis time of year our gardens are inundated with abundance of Rhubarb. I have to be honest until today, I have never even tasted Rhubarb. That summer I moved into my house my neighbor was trying to get me to take hers and do something with it. Not knowing what to do with it, I declined. She later ripped her plant out and made room for daisies. I regret not taking a start of it

Dr. Stephen Wangen recently sent me a copy of his new book, "Healthier Without Wheat". It took me a couple of weeks to read it as I wanted to really digest what he was saying and took one to two chapters at a time, trying to retain as much of the information as possible. I had the privelege of meeting Dr. Wangen several months ago after being invited to do a gluten free cooking demonstration in

Every once in a while you just need something easy to make with a pound of hamburger and something the kids will eat too. Tater Tot Casserole is one of those old time favorites. A lot of people think they cannot enjoy this casserole and many others like it because it uses Condensed Cream of Mushroom Soup. Well with Mama's Instant Cream Soup mix you can as well as all those other favorite

I was at the store today and a lady was sampling some pork sausage. She overcooked it a little and boy did it taste good. I walked down a couple of isles and went back and bought some. My taste buds got the best of me. I just love crispy sausage. So while I was contemplating what to make for dinner I decided on a frittata. I had some eggs I needed to use up. Then I thought, oh that sausage
