And we’ve finally reached that dreaded “Terrible Two” phase. Which means that he will eat only the things he wants to eat. If he loved it yesterday, today he probably will just look at me, shout “No!” and then run away. Unless its a chip. Or an animal cr ..read more

I LOVE Victoria Sponge. For real. Its simple, easy, and if you want something sweet, but not too sweet, it just hits the spot. But then I have that whole gluten intolerance thing. Which is a major problem when the recipe only has six ingredients. But I decided to give adapting my recipe a try, and I was SO pleased with the results! Now, I made mine into large cupcakes and froze the extras, because if you’ve been doing any GF baking at all, you’ll know that baked goods dry out FAST. And while I *can* eat them all in a couple days, I probably shouldn’t. The other key thing about this recipe, whe ..read more

Today I’m interviewing Glenn Lavender, the owner of Silver Hand Meadery! Many thanks to Glenn and Sarah, the manager, for allowing me to talk with them about their business. I must confess – I have been to Silver Hand’s honey tastings twice. The first time was for their Grand Opening and it is still one of my top suggestions for foodies looking for new things to try in the Williamsburg area. I was very excited to get a chance to speak with him! How long have you been running SIlver Hand Meadery? Silver Hand Meadery has been open since Nov 2015, when we first opened, but we didn’t have any of o ..read more

Today I’m interviewing Faithful Fields Homestead! Thank you for letting me get to know your homestead a little more! How long have you been running Faithful Fields Homestead? It has been a little over two years since we have been here now. What does a typical day look like for you? It depends on the season. On a typical summer day we take care of animals in the morning, then water the garden, we take a break during the hottest part of the day then we do misc. chores in the late afternoon and tend to the garden in the evening Do you have any specific changes or goals you are planning for the f ..read more

If you want a quick, cold, light dessert that’s delicious, this is it. Seriously. Its 4 ingredients and takes about 10 minutes to make. What’s not to love? You’re going to need a large mixing bowl, a mixer, a spatula, and your ingredients. And possibly a rolling pin or something heavy to crush your oreos. First thing – pour your pudding mix into the bowl, add 1 and a half cups of cold milk – it does have to be COLD – and then use your mixer to mix it for 2-3 minutes. It will get thick and look like, well, pudding. Once it does that, stop and crush your oreos. You could blitz them in a food pro ..read more

For this recipe, I have a confession – I have not yet tasted Universal Orlando’s butterbeer. BUT – this is how I imagined butterbeer would taste based on reading the books. I think it is a pretty tasty dish, regardless! I’m actually planning to use this as the filling in an upcoming ice cream sandwich recipe – so be sure to look out for that – its going to be delicious! There are a few things you will need for this recipe – mainly a food thermometer, and ice cream maker. It takes a little bit of effort, but it really is worth it! First, you’re going to separate four eggs, and put the yolks int ..read more

One of the things I was sad to say goodbye to when I found out I had a gluten intolerance was Pop Tarts. I mean, who doesn’t love a good brown sugar & cinnamon pop tart? Luckily, I managed to take a recipe I’d scribbled down eons ago from somewhere and altered it quite a bit, and then made it gluten free. I believe it may have been from The Homemade Pantry by Alana Chernila. These are delicious, easy, and you can fill them with pretty much whatever you like. These were filled with brown sugar and cinnamon, but next time, I’ll probably use some apple butter or jam. I used a pampered chef to ..read more

Your purchase helps support the maintenance of this blog and the creation of the recipes I share with you. I love wooden spoons and cutting boards. They’re safe to use with everything, they look pretty, and they just feel good in the hands, you know? But over time, wooden items begin to lose their “glow” a bit. In the past, I’ve used food safe mineral oil, but I ran out and I didn’t want to pay a ridiculous price for it. Plus, it just never seemed to last very long, and it alwa ..read more
