Dear Readers, I have to admit that I haven’t had the easiest of winters. The obscene amount of cold temperatures and snow I had to endure were only part of it. In January I was laid off from my new engineering job. After only four months. The company just ran […]

  So it’s spring now. As usual, Minnesota did not get the memo. At least it isn’t below zero anymore. Today was in the 30’s and it felt tolerable. It’s pretty sad when it’s the first couple days of spring and we are happy it’s above zero. Well, we can […]

  I know I have a tendency to go on and on about how much I love pancakes. I’m a pancake girl! But I decided to try something I haven’t had in ages: waffles. This gluten-free waffle recipe from Food.com was just the thing to try. Wow, I have been missing […]

 I saw an allergist earlier this week and had the skin-prick test done. It turns out I’m allergic to….nothing. This is good news, of course. To know that eating eggs isn’t going to send me into anaphylaxis. But it would have been nice to have a concrete answer for once. […]

  I just realized that the Superbowl is coming up and I actually have a recipe to share for the for the big game. I’m not a big football fan. I don’t even watch the commercials. How un-American of me. I’m sure my husband will watch the game, but I’ll […]

  I’ve been using this egg replacer in my baking lately and it’s been working well. I thought I’d write a quick post so I can refer back to it in my future recipes. It’s very easy. I grind up some chia seeds in my coffee grinder and mix it […]
