Its game time! Seattle is in Superbowl fever, there is not ONE person in Seattle, Redmond, Bellevue and surrounding areas who isn’t possessed by the Superbowl madness. You really can’t go anywhere and not noticing the 12th man flag, people wearing Seahawks Jerseys, blue Friday promotions in the stores and the hundreds of Facebook photos showing something…
Another get-together with my gluten intolerant friend(s) yielded a fabulous new crepe recipe for me and I couldn’t be happier so that for the past week I am making myself a crepe almost every day. I think I ate crepes in Germany but where I really learned the art of crepes was in Paris. I…
First full 40 hour week after the holidays completed – yikes that was tough this time after most of December was very slow. So this week there was not really a lot of time for cooking but fortunately I had this yummy Split Peak Soup in the freezer that I had cooked right after the New…
I’ve heard about “Gluten Free”, I’ve seen gluten free products but I have never tasted them – that’s until a couple of weeks ago when I took on the challenge to bake gluten free cinnamon rolls. I say “Challenge” because I’ve heard some of my not so gluten tolerating friends comment about their breads and…

I love everything about it, the process of melting the chocolate and smelling it, the smell of the vanilla and cream, the fluffiness of the entire dessert and the rich velvety taste of the chocolate. I know American’s love their chocolate but I think more in…
One of my husband’s favorite dishes is my homemade lasagna and if you know Mike then its easy to guess why he likes it so much, there are pretty much no vegetables in this lasagna, that makes for a home run with Mike. If you cook for a non veggie-phobic crowd, I would suggest the use…
Ahhh Thanksgiving – America’s most favorite Holiday – at least if you compare the amount of holidays you get for Thanksgiving and the emphasis put on the actual dinner -makes me think that it might be a bigger holiday than Christmas. This year marks my 14th Thanksgiving and every year I find myself thinking back…
I’ve had chocolate covered strawberries many times and its not the most fascinating desert but I still like making them for desert for a crowd and I never have any left over, everybody loves chocolate covered strawberries. They also look really pretty, are easy to make and this version has a little twist by spiking the…
