Eggless, Gluten Free Meatloaf

Meatloaf is usually one of those dinners that you make because you have some ground beef and want to do something different. Not really a “oh-my-gosh, I-just-love-this” kind of dishes. Just look at the name... Meatloaf. Meat. Loaf. Doesn’t inspire… Anything. But I am...

Gluten Free Banana Bread

You are going to love this gluten free banana bread. When I was little, my mom used to make sourdough banana bread. It took a while because of the sourdough starter. I think usually a day or two just for that. And of course, since I knew she was going to make it a day...

Pumpkin Apple Muffins

Pumpkin Apple Muffins

So. Have you gotten sick of pumpkin recipes, yet? I used to not like the flavor of pumpkin at all. I didn't even start eating pumpkin pie until I was in my late teens. Even then, I only liked it for the whip cream. As I've gotten older, I have liked the taste more and...

Apple Pie

Apple Pie

Fresh apples! Do you know how to get the freshest apples? Pick them yourself. Oh yeah! We are lucky enough to have an apple orchard up the road a little ways that has u-pick apples. It’s about ½ hour from us. Gizdich Ranch. Yeah, it took a while to be able to say that...
