Something Corny and Something Fishy

This recipe is one that is a gluten free adaptation of a recipe given to my mother years ago. It has been a favorite in our family ever since and works equally well hot with vegetables or cold. It is something we often take as a picnic food or to the football. Another advantage is it is inexpensive to make. My son-in-law told me he couldn’t make up his mind whether he’d like Cornies or my quiche for his picnic birthday lunch. I made both. He was doubly happy. Cornies Ingredients 1 and a half pound gluten free sausage mince … Continue reading →

True I had a cup or two of coffee a day and a couple of cups of tea at breakfast, but given the weak strength I drink my black tea and milk coffee … Continue reading →

Healthy Cuisine Choices – Part 1

Growing up in the south, I knew my food wasn’t health. Everything is battered, fried, and usually dunked in some type of sauce and gravy.

Here are a few cuisines that provide health choices, provided you don’t “Americanize” them. Follow traditional recipes and they will not only be yummy but nutritious as well.

Kid Friendly Adventures in Family History

Are you running out of fresh ideas to keep your kids occupied this summer?
