November 24, 2015 By Gwen Brown Leave a Comment

Making this homemade butter recipe has become a family tradition. Every year on Thanksgiving, I grab an extra carton of heavy whipping cream, and pour it into a jar with a pinch of salt, and seal it up with a tight fitting lid. We usually do Thanksgiving with relatives, so the kids shake the jar…

coconut yogurt recipe- an easy peasy recipe for dairy free yogurt with great texture!

A good coconut yogurt recipe became a necessity here when my husband went on a short dairy free diet plan from our doctor. Greek yogurt had been a great fast breakfast and snack, so he was sad to lose such a creamy, convenient and delicious snack. I knew that you could buy coconut yogurt but…

a french dressing recipe that's sugar free, delicious, and made with simple ingredients

The French dressing recipe that I posted a few weeks ago is so yummy, but it’s sweetened with honey. Since French is my very, very favorite salad dressing, I had to come up with a sugar free version and this is IT! It’s zesty, and full of flavor, but you probably already have all of…

Perfect peanut butter recipe?  YES!  But I’m not just tooting my own horn here.  There’s a perfectly logical reason behind the name that I’ll get to later. All you really need to know right now is that it’s amazingly simple, and absolutely toasty-warm-creamy-licious-peanut-buttery perfection.  If you’ve ever tasted warm, freshly ground peanut butter at specialty…
