Tis’ the holiday season, and many of us have company coming at one time or another. If your house is anything like my house, we can vacuum one day and then wonder how it got so dirty again the next! If you find yourself exclaiming, “Company is coming, and this house is a mess!” then…
Since it’s the holidays, you probably have a party to attend or pot-luck dinner at your church. Or you may just be going to visit a friend or take a treat to a friend or relative. But if you prefer to eat “real food” instead of processed foods, it can be hard to decide what…

They have that classic chocolate chip cookie flavor, but with the crunch that is reminiscent of a biscotti. So whether you like dipping in…
With dairy-free, sugar-free options required more and more these days, it can be difficult to find desserts that replace the deliciousness of the dairy and sugar-filled versions.

It’s my favorite time of the year. FALL! I love everything about it – a new school year starting (we homeschool year round, but start fresh again every fall) which means new beginnings and back to routine, the cooler weather, the bold colors in nature, apple picking, hay rides, corn mazes, and yes, even football!…

They are low-calorie, and they contain no saturated fats or cholesterol. They’re full of fiber, antioxidants, minerals, and vitamins. So even though the recipes below are a…
