Improving my love of life…. through loving God, self and others
We have a terrific vegan restaurant in town that served Blackberry Cinnamon Rolls for dessert earlier this year, then promptly changed the menu and pulled this little treasure out of the rotation after I was hooked on them! So I had to go looking for a suitable homemade version, this one isn't vegan but it... Continue Reading →
We have been drinking smoothies for years now, experimenting with many flavors until we found what works for us. I have found that the deep red color makes the whole thing easier to appreciate, and that comes from strawberries and beets, and an avocado provides the smooth texture. My only complaint has been the fact... Continue Reading →
I found this recipe on Vodka&Biscuits.com and my family loves it so much we have had it several times in the last couple of weeks. It's very flexible, I add more veggies than the recipe calls for, but it works! Baked Breakfast Greens 1/4 c diced onion 4 oz mushrooms (my addition) 2 garlic cloves, minced... Continue Reading →

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 →
This little gem came to me from my dear friend Cristine, she brought a loaf along with the recipe to my house years ago. The funny thing is that over the years we have had to ask each other for the recipe a couple of times, it's one of those that you will search high... Continue Reading →
I've been looking for something quick and mobile for breakfast because the kids are coming downstairs later and later each morning! These breakfast cookies are gluten free and vegan is you use carob chips. I mixed them up last night and baked them this morning so they would be fresh, and all were eaten! Lifted...

Bacon Jam (from Foodie with Family) 1.5 lbs bacon 2 sweet onions, sliced 4 cloves garlic, crushed 1/2 c cider vinegar 1/2 c brown... Continue Reading →
