Faux Foodie Friday ~ Neapolitan Bars

Neapolitan  cu final

As I kid I never really “got” Neapolitan. It certainly wasn’t anything I can ever remember being in our freezer (there was usually plain ice cream buried in the back somewhere and when my amazing Step Daddy came on the scene my Mom was treated with Haagen Daz) so Neapolitan was something in the Braum’s [...]

Fudgey Friday! Peanut Butter Cup Fudge

pb fudge cu final

Ironic that I follow a Weight Watcher Wednesday recipe with something rich and sweet, isn’t it?  It’s about moderation people……and chocolate! Sometimes you just NEED chocolate! Sometimes it is best to make chocolate, have a piece and plead with your family to eat the rest of it. The pleading is a lie, of course, because [...]

Faux Foodie Friday ~ Mega Monaco Bars

klondike cu final

Monaco bars (or ice cream sandwiches where I grew up!) have always been an absolute favourite of mine but are off limits in a celiac’s life. I also love Klondike Bars but don’t tend to eat a lot of store bought ice creams now. Homemade ice cream sandwiches have been on my to-do list for [...]

Today something really lovely happened to me.  I had to pop into our town office for errands and to drop off some treats and as I was doing so, a lovely colleague was preparing her lunch – my recent slow cooker white chicken lasagne. I just love getting feedback, good or bad, and this one was [...]

Lenten Update ~ Today is the final day of the Lent and I can say that I am grateful for the season.  It has given me time to try to concentrate on being a bit more patient and kind at a time when things are topsy-turvy and I have a lot to look forward to. [...]

These were absolutely delicious!  I’ve run out of steam in posting recipes so head on over to Picky Palate for the recipe and just substitute in your favourite gluten free cake mix (525 grams worth). I substituted the applesauce for the oil or butter too.                    

Cadbury Creme Egg Fudge

egg fudge final

Fudge has become my super dooper go-to recipe when I need something that is ridiculously quick and easy but has become one of the most requested items I make!  My sweet Mother in Law told me this year that she didn’t want an Easter egg, only my fudge ♥ So as well as the requested Rocky [...]
