Gluten Free Old Fashioned Cupcakes

Gluten Free Old Fashion Cupcakes Recipe

I really had no intention of making cupcakes this close to Thanksgiving. After all, I have pies to bake, a turkey to stuff, rolls to make and a thousand other things on my to-do list.

One of those things was to pick the perfect cocktail for Thanksgiving. So I surveyed some people and got a lot of answers that said “an Old Fashion.” I have never had one so I looked up the recipe and my mind starting to take off in another direction. I have a sort of obsession with turning cocktails into gluten free cupcakes

Gluten Free Cherry Balsamic Pork Chops

Gluten Free Pork Chops with Cherry Balsamic Sauce Recipe

You must know by now what a huge fan I am of fancy schmancy gluten free recipes that are easy peasy. This lovely pork chop recipe certainly fits that bill.

When I was growing up it was not popular to appear patriotic. It was a time of conflict, confusion and corruption followed by apathetic indifference. And yet despite the unpopularity, I do believe that in my own way I was patriotic.

My father was an Air Force Pilot and he spent the majority of his life defending freedom and doing what he felt was best in the service of our country. I didn’t always agree that what he thought was best really was what was best, but I always believed in why he did it. I will never forget the day I

With Father’s Day coming up this weekend, I have started planning how I will celebrate with my own father. I am lucky to be able to spend the day with three significant fathers in my life that day; my Dad, my hubby and my son – all great fathers.
