Soft Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookies
Since my son was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis four years ago, we have moved to making more gluten free products than ever before.

My recipe is inspired by the recipe found … [Read more...] about Soft Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookies

It’s not Thanksgiving without the candied yams
If there's anything I can count on in this world, it's my son asking this question when coming home for a family dinner... "Will there be candied yams?"

Of course, they are a family tradition and a favourite dish of my own as well, so if we are having turkey, we are also having candied yams. This recipe is … [Read more...] about It’s not Thanksgiving without the candied yams
