How to Make Classic Pot Roast

*Note: This is not a low-FODMAP recipe! Sometimes the best things in life are free. This time it was a free cooking magazine I recieved in the mail. Cuisine at Home magazine. I was very impressed by the recipes in this free magazine and several of them caught my eye. The first one […]

 

Chocolate + Bananas = Baking Bliss

My husband eats a banana just about every day, so we buy a bunch every week and every week we inevitably get over-ripe bananas that don’t get eaten. (I personally don’t really like plain bananas and can’t digest them very well, but love and tolerate them in baked goods.) This […]

Chocolate Pecan Bark

I am a chocoholic. My favorite treats to eat during the holidays, or anytime really, have chocolate in them. As much as I love sugar cookies and the like, I’ll usually choose chocolate over a non-chocolate treat. If I’m going to consume the calories, it may as well be chocolate […]
