My husband grew an abundance of basil (in our greenhouse) this year. I had to harvest the last of the basil before it turned to seed. Not wanting to waste the beautiful basil leaves, I made Pesto of course!!
Now I am being on the cheap because Olive Oil and Pine Nuts are ridiculously expensive, and even at Costco. So I bought almonds and a Kirkland brand Mediterranean Blend Oil (a blend of Canola, Olive and Grape Seed Oil).
It tasted wonderful with the modifications and would so use them again!
When I was making my Gluten Free No-bake Peanut Butter Oreo Pie I wanted to make my own homemade fudge sauce to use in the recipe instead of buying a jar at the store.
So I got out a bag of semi-sweet chocolate chips and a can of Sweetened Condensed Milk to get started.
This recipe is wonderful in recipes, drizzled over ice cream, fruit, pie whatever you want it for!
A couple of weeks ago I cut up a raw turkey and used one of the turkey breasts to make Gluten Free Turkey nuggets served with my cranberry dipping sauce!
I dredged the nuggets through egg and a gluten free bread crumbs mixed with smashed Ruffles potato chips as my breading. Yep, it was a tasty concoction!!
My family isn’t really into traditional tomato pasta sauce… we love Alfredo Sauce. Tonight I threw together what I had in the fridge and every person at my table raved and my youngest even had 2 helpings of pasta… this is a kid who HATES pasta night. So I will take that as I did really well.
This is a really quick and easy recipe that can be poured over a dish (like sweet and sour chicken) or used as a dipping sauce for taquitos, flautas or even for egg rolls or spring rolls!

My youngest son LOVES ribs and is always asking me to make him ribs be it barbecued, baked or even in pasta gravy. Nevertheless, I like to mix things up and try new recipes A LOT. So I wanted to try something sweet and sticky this time around and this Peach Rib Sauce was just the right mix of sweet and just the right amount of sticky!
Last week I wanted to use up the rest of my turkey leftovers and decided to make homemade gluten free shredded turkey taquitos. And then thought a sweet & sour cranberry dipping sauce would go perfectly with them!
Well the sauce came out better than I had expected… so I know I will be making this again!
Ingredients:
1 can of cranberry jelly
2/3 cup of apple cider vinegar
1 cup of sugar
Directions:
Combine all ingredients in a sauce pan over medium heat. Stir until smooth. Let cool.
I was making Spinach Salad for dinner and wanted to make a Poppy Seed Dressing but only had Black Sesame Seeds… so I improvised. And was happily surprised it came out really yummy.
I have never tried making Black Sesame Seed Dressing before and usually buy Poppy Seed Dressing, however this dressing was very easy to make.
I absolutely LOVE Poached Eggs. And while I don’t normally make homemade hollandaise sauce for all my Eggs Benedicts I make… making your own hollandaise sauce isn’t all that hard to prepare.
Many people are afraid of making hollandaise sauce but honestly it is quite simple to prepare.
