No-Added Oil Avocado Ranch Dressing
Chilled soup and salads are what my stomach wants as the temperature rises. Some days are so hot it seems that they only way to cool down is from the inside out.
It’s taken me years to get Cheryl to accept soup and bread or a large dinner salad as a whole meal.I have a whole bag of salad tricks that get her to be as excited by salad as I am.
The first is to remember to use at least half romaine because that it is the lettuce she likes most. A chopped salad with a protein that she likes and that...

Strawberry Spelt Biscuits for Breakfast in Bed-Fest
When my friend Angela at Canned-Time.com invited me to post a recipe in her year-longBreakfast in Bed-Fest I couldn’t say yes fast enough. I love breakfast!
I wanted to make something biscuity because they are one of my favorite foods. Sweet biscuits, savory biscuits, drop biscuits are all big hits at my house.
Since it’s strawberry season I had to build my recipe around them. It’s wonderful when you can get fresh strawberries that are perfectly ripe and that beautiful ruby red color.
I use coco...

Green Pina Colada Smoothie
It’s almost summer and that means daily smoothies for breakfast at my house. This year Cheryl is having them too and it’s a painless way to get more greens in her everyday!

I had given up a little on trying new v...
