It's been too cold for too long at our house. This calls for comfort food. I had some leftover Charleston Grits, grilled chicken and roasted vegetables. So I put them all together and placed an egg over easy on top. Nothing better.
Comfort Food
Gluten Free “Granola” Bars
I made these a week or two ago when friends were visiting. It says you need to wait an hour for them to cool in the pan, but the six or seven of us ate the entire pan within minutes of them coming out of the oven! If you wait, they become crispy like the... Continue Reading →
Gluten Free Banana Nut Pancakes
Two of my dearest friends came for a visit last weekend, it's amazing what a few hours of intense laughter and intentional conversation can do for the soul. My job was to bring the nourishment, and one of my friends is totally gluten-free. I wanted to have the classic comfort breakfast of pancakes and bacon,... Continue Reading →
Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins
Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins Where do bananas go after they have languished a day too long in the fruit basket? In our house, they sacrifice themselves for banana chocolate chip muffins! I have accused our kids of ignoring the fruit just to get some more of these, they are definitely a family favorite. I took... Continue Reading →
Southern Green Beans
My friend asked me to post this recipe, it's a staple in our house to the point that I've never really seen it written down. Because of the bite of vinegar and the sweet of sugar, it's a dish that people either love or really don't. There is nothing healthy about this dish except for... Continue Reading →
Carrot Bread
It's ridiculously cold this week, so I have been baking a lot to warm the center of our house. This is one of my all-time favorites, probably because my Mom made it throughout my childhood, she says the recipe came with a blender years ago! If you like pumpkin or zucchini bread, you're going to... Continue Reading →
High Energy Bars
I found this recipe through a friend on Facebook, the original is from http://www.outsideonline.com/fitness/nutrition/Whitneys-Everything-Energy-Bars.html I've made the bars a couple of times and have decided there's no one way to do it, the original calls for 1 c cranberries and 1 c coconut added, but I want my family to eat them, so I refrained....

Fantastic Fudge
Every year for as long as I can remember, we have had fudge for the holidays. My great-grandmother, who was a wonderful cook, would pull a tin out of the freezer and let you have one square before dinner. And then she would send the tin full of fudge home with us! What a treat!... Continue Reading →
Creamiest Chicken Noodle Soup
I think everyone in the country is being affected by the cold at this point, so I want to share the simplest, hearty soup recipe I've got. There's nothing healthy about it, but it's what I make for sick friends year 'round and for families with new babies in winter, along with a loaf of... Continue Reading →
Calm Before the Storm
Anybody got a crazy week planned? We sure do! Looking ahead I see very little breathing room, with meetings or responsibilities each night. Ironically, yesterday was a quiet day for us, which gave me some time to prepare for the onslaught. One way that I get ready is to cook components of dinner ahead of... Continue Reading →
