Fresh Ginger

I spent the last hour looking for my cookie cutters. I know I had several. After going through most of the boxes of stuff that we packed up when the house was on the market, I could find none. Before packing I knew right where they were. I can’t remember when […]

Vote for me in the Death by Chocolate contest

Oh, sometimes the chocolate gods are smiling down on me. Today was such a day. The honest truth is, before I was diagnosed with Celiac (2 years next month) I rarely made brownies that did not come from a package. Those were just so […]

Ok, I know I am a day late here with my menu of the week (see the next post), but I have a good excuse.
