I picked up our wine club shipment Wednesday & they included sangria recipes. Our shipment from Kalyra includes a bottle of red, a bottle of white, and a bottle of dessert wine. Neither of us typically drinks red wine unless it’s turned into sangria (or we’re at a tasting), so we thought it was a … More Spicy Sangria
I woke up Saturday morning with a craving for pancakes. After remembering that I had a huge bag of Pamela’s Artisan Flour Mix (gluten-free), I quickly googled a recipe on my phone while still in bed.

I recently purchased 3 cookbooks by Kelly Brozyna of The Spunky Coconut and decided to try out her Boulder Banana Bread Recipe from The Gluten-Free Baking & Desserts Book. The recipe is also posted on her blog here. I swear this stuff is held together with witchcraft & love. I made a double batch if you … More Coconut Flour & Witchcraft: Banana Nut Bread/Muffins
Today is my parent’s 35th wedding anniversary!! I thought that, as a tribute, i’d take the opportunity to share an egg nog recipe from the priest that married them. The nickname is from my sister recently proclaiming that the egg nog is not far from rocket fuel based on the high alcohol content…she’s a propulsion … More Father McCartney’s Egg Nog (a.k.a. Rocket Fuel Egg Nog)
