Recipe: The Best Gluten Free Pizza
The best gluten free pizza – it truly is. I posted this recipe a while back – gluten free pizza – and I’ve made some improvements. Necessary improvements. As you know it’s been a hard week, saying goodbye to Bella was tough, and still is at times. We’ve spent the week talking and sharing about our sweet pup and tonight we’re going to do what we did last Friday night – sit on the couch, eat delicious food and watch The Americans. Bella loved to…

Recipe: Gouda Mac and Cheese
Gouda mac and cheese – oh, and it’s gluten free. Awesome! Earlier this week I made gouda quesadillas and they were good, this mac and cheese, however, is better. Maybe because I was more in the mood for it, but either way, this is a must try. Let’s get cooking. Ingredients 1 box of pasta (I used gluten free) 5 oz of shredded high quality gouda (I used De Waag 3 year aged) 1 pack of Boursin cheese (I used chive and garlic) 3 tablespoons…

Recipe: Roasted Butternut Squash Salad
Roasted butternut squash salad – basically this is roasted butternut squash stuffed with avocado, feta cheese, toasted almonds all in a winter vinegar dressing. So good. It doesn’t look that pretty, but it sure tastes great. This salad uses the same dressing for the quinoa fall salad I made a few weeks ago. It’s one of my new favourite dressings. Okay, time to roast up! Ingredients 1 medium butternut squash 2 tablespoons of olive oil 1 large avocado 1/2 a cup of feta cheese handful…

Recipe: Spicy Whole Turkey
Spicy whole turkey for Thanksgiving! Who’s in? I am! This recipe is quite easy and gives your whole turkey a bit of kick this November. When I used to teach in Dallas, Texas, Thanksgiving was amazing – why? Because we got a whole week off! That’s how a worn out teacher thinks…time to catch up on laundry, cleaning the house, grading papers, holiday shopping, the 1343537 emails in my work inbox. The week was jam packed and I was excited to get up because I…
