I MADE SKINNY GLUTEN FREE PIZZA! In 2016 I made a gluten free pizza recipe for a friend who had a gluten intolerance.   This was before I made the skinny pizza dough, and well, lots of people wanted a gluten free skinny pizza dough. I had that dream too! 😁 What is the difference between gluten free flours? There are so many differences between brands...

This post will help you be able to cook a tomahawk steak at home like a pro, pinky swear. No Labor Day Weekend would be complete without grilling up some meat. Mariano’s had Tomahawks steaks on sale for $16 a pound! What Is A Tomahawk Steak? A Tomahawk steak is essentially a ribeye. What makes it so expensive is how it is cut, and you...

This spicy tomato soup is delicious.  Best part is that it doesn’t taste like pasta sauce which used to happen to me in my early cooking days. Fun fact about me though is that I hate tomatoes. Sliced on a cutting board with the seed guts spilling out – ew! But I love tomatoey things. Pasta sauce, pizza sauce and one of my favorite soups...

I wish you guys could have smelled these All American Summer Berry Muffins when they came out of the oven.  They scream summer!

They have cilantro, Parmesan cheese and since I love...

This carrot potato mash was a happy accident. I’ve been doing Mariano’s pick up groceries since I am not on Day 11 of no results yet of my COVID test.  The sweet girl who did my shopping called me and said “we don’t have any one pound bag of carrots, can I substitute a pound of baby carrots? Um, the question to that answer will...

I remember my Mom making morning glory muffins growing up.  She must have made them often, or maybe when she did make them a few times they made an impression, but I loved them.  I am probably sure I didn’t know there were veggies in there! My idea to make these morning glory muffins came to me when I realized I had a zucchini, one...
