We recently took a little trip to Chicago between Christmas and New Years. It was a quick adventure to the Windy City before the winter weather gets too crazy and a nice change of scenery before the new year, new routine, (and wedding festivities) begin! Here’s a little round up of where we ate and what we think you should know about each place regarding our food allergies/intolerance, along with some fun places we visited!
Read MoreThis skillet meal is easy and so tasty! It’s the comfort of meat and potatoes and the colorful fancy look of something much more complicated!
Read MoreWhile I know people can easily go a little overboard with pumpkin flavored foods, I promise this one is sooo worth it! And out of fear of going too far with the pumpkin taste, I cut back on just how much pumpkin purée I used in this recipe and I explain that further down in the notes section of this post.
Read MoreOne of my favorite meals growing up was meatloaf. But only dad’s meatloaf because I knew what all went into it. Dad used his mom’s recipe (my Nay-Nay) but changed it up a bit. After going gluten free, I decided to take dad’s recipe and modify it so that I could still enjoy a childhood favorite. And it honestly doesn’t taste much different than dad’s! My little brother recently came to town to help with a project and I served him some leftover gluten free meatloaf and he couldn’t tell the difference!
Read MoreWhen I came across this Grilled Shrimp Boil recipe from Delish, I immediately sent it to Darrell and said, “I think we should have this for dinner! I’ll go to Kroger tonight and get everything!!”
Read MoreMy good friend and co-leader for a life group at church, Cathy, was raving about this recipe on Facebook recently and came to church talking about it later that week so I knew I had to try it!! I had to modify the recipe just a tad, so as always, I will share those details with you!
Read MoreSince my last post, I’ve tried another recipe incorporating peppers and I really liked it! A former roommate used to cook stuffed peppers somewhat often for dinner and they always smelled so great but because of my refusal to eat peppers, I could never bring myself to try them when she’d offer to share!
Read MoreWhy is it that even as an adult I struggle to make myself try new foods? Isn’t that wierd? I’ve certainly gotten a lot better in my adult years than I was as a child but I’m still a bit reluctant to incorporate foods I “think” I don’t like. Foods I hadn’t necessarily ever tried before
Read MoreI have tried a couple of different risotto recipes now and this has by far been the best recipe to yield quality results. I am finally mastering your standard risotto and I’m excited to expand into some of the different risotto dishes I’ve found online and seen in restaurants. However, even just your basic risotto is delicious, so beware.
