Summer in Texas means Peaches

It’s summer in Southeast Texas, and that means it’s hot.  Hot.Hot.Hot!  We are experiencing record-breaking heat, and it makes being outside pretty miserable.  But summer in Texas means other things as well.  It also means Peaches! As a kid, I was not fond of peaches, but as an adult, they are one o

1 Year Gluten Free

I haven’t posted in over a month.  Yikes!  I have been very busy with events, business trips, my birthday, new cooking adventures and looking back on my first year of being gluten-free.  A little over a year ago, I embarked on a journey that has taken me places and taught me things I never would hav

Oh Mickey You’re So Fine

No I’m not having a flashback to the 80′s.  Although I could be.  I remember the first time I heard this song was my senior year in high school while driving with a friend in his new car.  That was a long time ago. Now this song reminds me of my friend Mickey. I haven’t always [...]

This is who I am

I love the following video. Every time I watch it, I get tears in my eyes. I am currently writing a post that will explain why Craig Hospital and this video touch my heart, but in the meantime I urge you to watch this video. This is an amazing place, with amazing people and amazing stories [...]

My Ponzi Scheme of Time Management

Lately my time management has been a classic case of “robbing Peter to pay Paul.”  I get one thing off my list only to realize I’m behind on something else.  I steal an hour from something critical to work on something more  critical.  Ugh… As my one year anniversary of being gluten-free is creeping

Stupid Kitchen Tricks I and II

Even though I’m blonde, and I occasionally have my “blonde” moments, I don’t consider myself a stupid person.  But every once in a while I do something, that looking back, I do the major forehead smack and yell “Budger what were you thinking?”  Lately these moments have been occurring in the kitchen

Pesto Chicken and White Bean Soup

I’ve gotten into a rut at work.  Now that my local grocery store is carrying Udi’s Gluten Free bread, I take a sandwich and some soup to work everyday for lunch.  In the past, I never took my lunch to work, and I went out everyday.  It was my break away, but now it’s difficult [...]

My Mom’s Rugelach and Katz Gluten Free Rugelach

My Mom makes the best Rugelach.  It has been a favorite in our house forever.  So when my Mom called before Christmas to find out if there were any special requests for Budgee, she asked if he would like Rugelach.  I said no, just bring him a Macadamia Nut Tart.  I then went and told Budgee [...]

Gluten Free Houston and My First Gluten-Free Apple Pie

The holidays would not be complete without pie.  And as my first Gluten Free holiday season approached, I was dreading having to give up pie.  I debated internally about baking my own gluten-free pie crust, but as discussed here previously, I really don’t like baking.  Having to get the canister of

My First Gluten Free Holiday – Cheddar Chipotle Mashed Sweet Potatoes

I like Sweet Potatoes, but I don’t like the way they are usually made during the holidays, doctored up as more of a dessert than a side dish.  So when I saw this recipe at  ”Where’s my Damn Answer?” I knew I was going to make these.  Pretty much if I see a recipe with cheese, [...]
