This gluten-free, dairy-free chocolate cake recipe, found on the Downshiftology website is the very BEST I have ever eaten! I am not kidding!

My mother made these enchiladas for a family dinner many years ago. (At least 25 years ago!) They were so much better than any enchilada I had eaten at a Mexican restaurant. Maybe it isn’t authentic. But I promise you this they are so much better than a little chicken in a tortilla.

This no-fat, pumpkin muffin recipe is not a simple recipe and can take a little bit of extra time…BUT well worth it! I shared with my neighbors and they said they were “the best muffins they have ever had!” Now that was a compliment! My husband loves them and I have to admit, they are …
A classic sweet-and-sour chicken recipe that is lower in calories, fat, and cholesterol. This is accomplished by using no-stick spray instead of oil, reducing the amount of sugar, and using pineapple in its juice. Our grandchildren (ages 11 and 15) love this recipe (but over white rice, not brown). It is great for meeting all …
Dairy free, this soup is tasty and satisfying! Bruce came home from a potluck one night – one that I couldn’t attend. He raved about his friend Alfred’s soup. I made it and it is superb! I hope your family and friends enjoy this recipe as much as we did. Love, Laughter, Peace & Great …
I came across a recipe I made over 25 plus years ago that my kids really enjoyed! I can’t name anyone I made this for that didn’t really liked too! I can’t tell you where I may have found this recipe. I had handwritten it on a card and my memory has no recollection as …

My husband, Bruce, rarely cooks. Mostly he fixes salads for dinner, sandwiches for lunch and for breakfast, French toast. His sister, Gayle, who lives in So. California, sent this recipe to him and with a few little personal changes, this became a specialty all his own. (I am so happy he is cooking – and …
Vintage 1950 from my Betty Crocker’s Picture Cook Book of the same age…a timeless favorite! I came across this cook book when I was browsing in a used book store a few years ago. I loved it! I finally had a cookbook like the one my mom cooked from! I was able to then find the …
My husband, Bruce, makes the best granola ever! I am always counting calories, so I top my high fiber, organic breakfast cereal with a tablespoon or two for a little YUM, along with frozen blueberries, or add it to my yogurt or low fat frozen yogurt as a topping. What a treat! “I’ve been making …
