Blueberry Coconut Crisp (Gluten and Dairy Free)

July 23, 2013 By Julie 5 Comments

First up, you all are awesome.  Thank you so much for the kind words, the valuable information sharing and the general feeling of support.  If nothing else, it makes the journey a bit easier and a whole lot more interesting knowing you’re not the only one on board the train.  We’ve hit week six of the change and it feels like the hill is starting to turn back down again.  I’ve figured out the perfect pancake, tracked down a couple gluten free granola bars we all like in addition to making our own and, of course, baked up a batch of chocolate chip cookies.  Almond milk is my new friend and the boys are once again relishing in their daily morning time smoothie sans yogurt.

Very Berry Chocolate Shortcakes

May 14, 2012 By Julie 15 Comments

These past few days were busy ones for the oldest child in our family.  On Friday Nicholas partook in his first ever holy communion and today, he celebrates the milestone of turning eight years old.  It never ceases to amaze me how fast time can pass you by.  One minute you’re holding this beautiful little bundle of joy in your arms and the next, he’s half way through elementary school and showing signs of independence you never knew he had.

Caramel Apple Strudel

April 23, 2012 By Julie 19 Comments

Round two of culinary boot camp at the local cooking school began this past weekend.  The first five weeks focused on learning proper technique in the kitchen and now the subsequent four will be putting said techniques to good use.  We intend to do just that whilst eating our way across the country in true Johnson and Wales fashion.  This past Saturday focused on the foods of New England.  Think seafood, seafood and more seafood.  We steamed up a clam bake, boiled a live lobster and created the ultimate crock of baked beans.  We pressure cooked a fabulous boiled dinner of corned beef with cabbage and, of course, we made chowder.  Four kinds of chowder.  There was the classic New England, the Manhattan tomato based “chowda”, Maine chowder which incorporates a splash or two of half and half and Hatteras (not New England but done for comparison none the less) which is simply broth based – no cream or tomatoes….

Lemon Cardamom Crepes with Strawberry Rhubarb Custard

March 23, 2012 By Julie 21 Comments

If you have any number of young boys living along side you in your home, then you’ll understand the nightmare that is the bathroom.  I swear, I would hire a housekeeper for that task alone if I could.  No price would be too big.  She would be my hero.  You think I’m joking.  Allow me to share the most recent experience with you.

Homemade Fruit Newtons

September 22, 2011 By Julie 18 Comments

Every day I walk out my front door en-route to the bus stop to retrieve my boys.  And each time I pass by my neighbors yard, I longingly eye his fig laden fruit tree.  The juicy green and purple spheres dangle loosely from the bushes, constantly tempting me to pick just one.  Or maybe two.  When my husband informed me that we had been given the green light to pick to our hearts content, you can guess who was out there without a moments notice, bucket in one hand and clippers in the other.
