Peppermint Walnut Fudge

How do you get a perfect photo of fudge in the glow of Christmas lights?  By having a tiny elf hold the mass of strands in the background of your shot.   Such a great helper.  And a photographer (or frittata-pher as Joe likes to call me) in training.  Ask Leila what she wants for Christmas, and she’ll excitedly tell you about a pink princess camera.  A real one, not…

Thankful Thursdays: Week 25 – Stepping Outside my Comfort Zone and a Recipe for Mini Key Lime Pies

Stepping out of my comfort zone seems to be a common theme lately. Selling our house, moving to Phoenix, starting a new life in baseball?  Not so comfortable. Sharing my faith on my blog?  As comfortable as jumping off a wobbly pole 30 feet in the air. Going to Ethiopia in July?  That’s about 8,942 miles away from my comfort zone. But you know what I’ve learned from all of…

Gluten-Free Raspberry Apple Crisp

I was all ready to make a gluten-free apple crisp for Father’s Day yesterday until I had some extra raspberries from making this beautiful creation from Pinterest. The sangria was something I had been eyeing for a while. I was excited to finally give it a try and even found the right wine at Target. The good news? The sangria was delicious. Not too sweet, and deliciously spicy. The bad…

Gluten Free Strawberry Vanilla Cake

Leila requested two things for her birthday yesterday.  Fish tacos and pink strawberry cake.  Fish tacos were the easy part.  I have made them countless times and always use this recipe for marinating the fish.  The trickier part was the strawberry cake.  As you know, I’m not much of a baker.  Thankfully, I was able to use the coconut cake recipe that I made for Jeff’s birthday and tweak it…
