Hello to you all, and happy May! I am so excited to share another delicious brownie recipe with you today, one that I am sure will please your taste buds!:) Although I do have a couple brownie recipes on this blog, this fudge-filled dessert is a bit more “cake-like” in texture. Oh my….Dear friends…It is absolutely yummy!! One of the reasons this recipe excites me is because it uses Otto’s...
Each year at Easter time, I pull out one of my favorite recipes to serve: a layered berry trifle. One of my favorites includes layers of berries, a mix of cream cheese with whip cream (I love using Truwhip as a replacement for Kraft Cool Whip. It is so delicious, holds up well, and is healthy alternative!), and dense gluten-free pound cake. Now, I will admit: Each time I have...
Recently, my oldest son had his third birthday, and as I write this, I can’t believe we have had three of these celebrations already. “Is he really three?” I ask myself. Then I remind myself of the importance of cherishing each moment, for I have learned this to be true: time does fly. 🙂 In light of the conversation of cherishing each moment, one of the things I have always...

Mmmmm….cupcakes. Let’s admit it. Most of us are huge fans of this tasty treat. Yet, many times, cupcakes are filled with loads of sugar as well as gluten. Where do we find a tasty substitute that still tastes like a cupcake? Well, let me tell you that I have a delicious cupcake recipe to share with you today from another “nutrition-minded” blogger. I recently discovered this dessert from Erica over...
Happy New Year to all of you, and many blessings as you begin another chapter of your life. To celebrate the new year, I thought it only appropriate to share a little chocolate goodness with you! I certainly can not take credit for this divine, rich, flourless chocolate cake, and I must thank Amee Livingston from Amee’s Savory Dish for this excellent dessert idea. She also adapted it from Mastering...
As the New Year holiday approaches, many of us are either hosting or attending a gathering, and chances are, we are looking for some crowd pleasing recipes. 🙂 I have one to share today that is sure to satisfy your guests.

I am so excited; I am actually attempting a few DIY gifts this year for the Christmas holiday! 🙂 Now, I am being totally honest here. Yes, I am doing a couple homemade gifts, but they certainly are not going to be complicated! 🙂 I know that with two little ones, I have to be realistic about the amount of time I have in a day as well. The reason...
I am excited about this one, especially with Thanksgiving so quickly approaching! For many people with various food allergies, sometimes the holidays can be quite challenging, especially when having to avoid so many of the treats they used to enjoy. Wait no longer. 🙂 Here is one that is sure to please your guests! It is free of the common allergens, but it certainly is not “taste-free”. This recipe is...
