Asian Chili Ribs We love ribs at our house, it’s almost an event when we have them. A few months ago I surprised Mr. Spinner with Asian Chili Ribs for dinner and he almost fell over with excitement. First of all, he’s the rib guy….he’s the one who prepares them, season’s them, bakes, bastes, and…
Pad Thai Salmon Pasta Toss

Corn Tortilla Mini Quiches
Corn Tortilla Mini Quiches How about these individual quiches with a tortilla crust…Yummy, right? And so easy. One of the best things about this recipe is customizing each one to each preference.

Kiss Keepers
Kiss Keepers Okay, ya know those movies where two people (lovers) wake in the morning and passionately kiss each other without a thought of morning breath? Ewwww! Maybe I’m the only one who thinks of that, but I seriously can’t load my toothbrush fast enough with minty paste before I even talk to Mr….
Mediterranean Herb Swordfish in Wine Sauce
Mediterranean Herb Swordfish in Wine Sauce Have you tried swordfish lately? If not, I’ve got a reason to try it again. While searching the Whole Foods Market for another dinner idea, the fishmonger suggested I try their swordfish. He said they just received a shipment and people have been raving. My experience with swordfish in…
Raw Kale Salad
Raw Kale Salad Mr. Spinner and I have been trying to eat a bit lighter these last two weeks and a visit to the new Whole Foods in our area inspired me. The beautiful fresh produce section has every fruit and vegetable imaginable, and everything is organic. It’s a bit pricier than the Coop or…
Almond Scones
Almond Scones Have I got a treat for you….Let’s call it ‘Scone Love’. Scones are the one thing I haven’t attempted since living gluten free. I’m not sure why…maybe I was afraid of the results. What a sad day it would be to attempt making scones gluten free only to have one of my…

Cornish Game Hens with Apple Stuffing

Broccoli, Carrot, and Cheddar Soup
Broccoli, Carrot, and Cheddar Soup I love making soup. There’s something very comforting about a pot of soup simmering on the stove first thing in the morning…it’s my favorite time to make it. I worked with a chef years ago who told me there are three seasonings you should add to every soup: thyme, white…

Spicy Planked Salmon This is the number one all-time favorite salmon recipe between our group of friends and they just asked me to pull it for our gathering. If you haven’t tried it yet, you are in for a delicious and tasty meal…sure to impress. I first posted it April of 2010, and it definitely…
Almond Lemon Bundt Cake
Almond Lemon Bundt Cake I am definitely a sweets person in the morning with a good cup of coffee. Mr. Spinner and I use to buy donut holes rolled in cinnamon sugar and bring them to the cabin every weekend. We weren’t excessive donut hole eaters, just 2 with our coffee and they lasted all…
