Dutch Apple Pie Muffins {Gluten Free}
Happy National Muffin Day! We’re going to celebrate with Dutch Apple Pie Muffins that happen to also be Gluten Free! I set a calendar reminder for this food holiday because I knew it would be an opportunity to spend some time in the kitchen with Ella, my fun-loving, bright, kind and witty bonus-daughter who can hold her own in the kitchen. She’s 11. She’s a natural. And she makes banana bread like nobody’s business!!

Seafood Newburg and a Stroll Down Memory Lane
This Seafood Newburg recipe originated at Woodbound Inn. It’s like a stroll down memory lane. Home of one of my many dream jobs.

Steak & Potato Soup
Steak & Potato Soup was a sentimental entry, since it came from my husband Nick. With winter ragging across most of the country, I posed this question on Facebook: What is your favorite soup? I received a nice variety of responses, which included some of my favorite soups like Broccoli Cheddar and Italian Wedding and others that I had yet to recreate at home.

French Onion Dip is a Game Day Staple
There was a time when French Onion Dip was the go-to staple for Game Day or family gatherings. A packet of onion soup mix, a tub of sour cream, and a big bag of ruffled potato chips and we were in dip heaven. Just think how far the dip world has come, evolved if you will.
