…my home is warm, and everything is gluten-free! I know I have mentioned here before that I am now gluten-free. It has been for a whole year. That is so hard to believe. It has been a miracle cure for some of the health issues that I was dealing with. I also know that I [...]

After Thanksgiving…
Posted in In the Kitchen, This and That on November 26, 2011 | 2 Comments »
We had a wonderful Thanksgiving celebration. It was a special time of food, fellowship, relaxation and thankfulness. Now, I am moving on to Christmas. There is much to do. I’m getting older, so things take longer than they use to! HA! Today, I thought I would share a recipe with you that I found on [...]

I have been longing for a day in the kitchen to try out some new scratch recipes. When in Japan, I have to cook from scratch if we want to eat some American food. We don’t have the convenience foods in Japan that we have in the USA. I have to say that I am [...]

One of my favorite foods is chicken and dumplings. A few years ago, I found a wonderful recipe in the Diane magazine that is published by Curves. My whole family loves it! Now there is a small problem. It has been determined recently that I need to be gluten-free. I don’t want to go into [...]

I have fallen in love with the Pioneer Woman’s cooking blog. Recently, I tried the recipe for Sloppy Joes and we were not disappointed. I used a little less butter and ground chicken instead of beef. It is another keeper! If you like cooking and swapping recipes, you might like her site, The Tasty Kitchen. [...]

It’s been rainy here lately and I decided to spend the day doing some things I haven’t had a whole lot of time for. I saw a recipe for Sour Cream Chicken Enchiladas the other day. I love Mexican food and can’t get it here unless I make it, so I decided to give it [...]

One of my favorite things to eat in the winter here is Nabe (gnaw-bay). When the Japanese make it, they use a special pot on a portable burner on the table. I make it like American stew. If you are Japanese, you might not want to read this post. If you do, you will know [...]

I intended to take a blogging break until after New Year’s, but plans have a way of changing. Today we were to go snowboarding. Next week, we were to go to my in-laws for a few days. Now the plans are to stay at home. My daughter has the new flu. My son has a [...]
