My birthday is coming up pretty soon. No, the date doesn’t matter. OK, fine. I’ll tell you. It’s July 31st, same day as Harry Potter. I know that doesn’t give you much time to shop but to help you out I am happy to accept gifts through to the end of August. I’m joking, good wishes…

What To Do With A Bumper Crop Of Zucchini.
And I do mean a bumper crop. I have a freakin’ boat load of zucchini over here. Do you see that bumply yellow summer squash? To the best of my knowledge I planted 1 zucchini plant and 1 patty pan plant. I do not know where it came from. I’m thinking of fashioning a table…
The Bun: Making A Burger Sandwich.
When I first got into serious bread making (before my gluten free days) I treated myself to Bernard Clayton’s New Complete Book of Breads. It was a happy love affair but we were sadly forced apart before we were ready. It is a treasure box of yeast risen delicious treats and I keep it on my cookbook…
A Confession And A Plan Of Action.
Muesli lovers, I have a confession. I am failing snacktime. Very badly. I have no excuses. I read Sue’s snacking posta week before you guys and my mom took my kids away for 2 days. I was home alone and had a headstart and I still failed. It’s a sorry state of affairs. There’s nothing to do…

A Collection of Chocolate Chip Cookies
Chocolate chip cookies are a right of passage. The foundation of childhood. I’m not talking about pre-mixed slice and bake garbage. I mean real butter and eggs and sugar and flour cookies.

The Mighty Quinoa
Tuesday’s gluten- free breakfast post brought to my attention that a lot of folks have not tried quinoa. I thought that needed changing. So here’s the story of quinoa. The Inca’s of South America bring us the superfood Quinoa. And by all accounts quinoa is a superfood. Very high in protein, 12-15%, and contains all 8 of…
Mmmm Muffins!
There is nothing better than waking up to the smell of freshly baked muffins. Warm from the pan, they are divine with a little butter, peanut butter, jam, honey or whatever your pleasure. Muffins have been given a bad rap. And it’s true that buying pre-made, processed muffins is not always a healthy choice but…
