Mother’s Day is coming up and my mind instantly returns to memories of baking with my mom growing up. Back then, gluten didn’t bother me. Today, it’s another story. That’s why I’m so excited about these gluten-free chocolate chip blondies. They’re delicious, and gluten-free!

Sausage & Spinach Soup
Italian Wedding Soup is one of my favorite comfort foods. The potatoes, the sausage, the bacon, the cream … oh, the cream. It’s all so decadant. And, sadly, time consuming.
Guacamole with Cottage Cheese
I’ve got avocados on the brain, and for good reason. I just spent the weekend with oddles of other fabulous food bloggers at the Big Traveling Potluck in Murrietta, just north of San Diego, and we ate, drank and made merry just a stone’s throw from gorgeous avocado groves.

Roast Chicken with Smoked Paprika
Does the world really need another roast chicken recipe? Especially on the heels of Thanksgiving and the chicken’s famous cousin, the turkey? Once you try this recipe, your answer will be yes. My classic go-to recipe for roast chicken might even be replaced by this recipe, developed by one of my favorite food writers, David […]
