Baked Ravioli
Baked Ravioli has the convenience of store bought ravioli pasta with the delicious homemade taste of it’s own marinara sauce and then covered with cheese to make it a very satisfying main dish meal.

Cracked Wheat Bread
This is another one of my fabulous Black and Decker Breadmaker recipes. I had to look all over creation to find cracked wheat though! I wasn’t looking in the right places.

Garlic and Herb Fries
2013 – Gluten Free Living These tasty potatoes are wonderful! I’m always on the lookout for fresh new ways to make potatoes so I don’t have to eat them the same way every time and when I saw the amazing pictures at Recipes For Our Daily Bread I knew I would have to try them. Then [...]
Herbed Corn
2013 – Gluten Free Living I love corn on the cob. I remember as a kid going through my cousin’s corn fields in southeastern Ohio and picking it straight off the cob and eating it out in the fields. There was nothing quite like their sweet corn. Wow, it was delicious. Corn is still one [...]

I succeeded beyond my [...]
Spicy Guacamole

Mexican Taco Salad
2013 – Gluten Free Living This is a wonderful Mexican Taco Salad recipe where the beans are cooked with the meat mixture before tossing with the salad. It is quite tasty.

Easy French Dressing
Easy French Dressing is just that, EASY! I mean really easy. You just add ingredients to a blender and emulsify a little and that’s it.

Squash, Fennel and Potato Bake

Grilled Salmon with Homemade Tartar Sauce
2013 – Gluten Free Living I’m not a big fish lover. Salmon is one of the few fish I eat and I’ll only eat it if my husband John grills it! He makes the best Grilled Salmon. He uses either lemon pepper, Old Bay Seasoning, or a Penzey’s seafood seasoning on the fish. He sprays [...]
