We’re in the midst of college basketball finals, and one thing my family loves to do is eat junk food while watching the games on TV. It drives me crazy to see them noshing on chips, dips and greasy foods like chicken wings. At the urging of Hidden Valley® Original Ranch®, I decided to create [...]

After taking a break for the holidays, I’m once again participating in the Secret Recipe Club. This month’s assigned blog was Secrets of the Cookie Princess. While Colleen, the Cookie Princess, is obsessed with cookie baking, she also likes to cook up other dishes like Chicken Enchilada Soup and Crispy Quinoa Bites, which are two [...]
As a community leader for Udi’s Gluten Free, I’m always on the lookout for new cookbooks written for people who are gluten free. That’s why I’m excited to share with you Cybele Pascal’s new cookbook, Allergy-Free and Easy Cooking: 30-Minute Meals Without Gluten, Wheat, Dairy, Eggs, Soy, Peanuts, Tree Nuts, Fish, Shellfish, and Sesame. As [...]
While I love how easy it is to use premade World Harbors marinades for Smoked Beer Can Chicken, there’s something to be said for making your own marinade. First, you can control what goes into it, so if you have a food sensitivity you don’t need to worry about anything making you ill. Second, making [...]
I’m not much for roller coasters after getting sick many years ago at both Knott’s Berry Farm and Disneyland. (Never again!) So while the Brandcation gals were riding the Wild Eagle (and being filmed by the Discovery Channel), I was busy nerding out over the food at Dollywood as well as the folk art and [...]

This time of year is hectic for many families – it certainly is at my house! Many of us are in back-to-school mode, trying to figure out new schedules and homework. On top of that, if we’re gardeners, we’re inundated with all that zucchini from our garden. Or for the non-gardeners, all the wonderful eggplant [...]
You’ve heard of beer can chicken, right? You know, the recipe when you shove a can of beer up a chicken’s backside and grill it? Well, if you have a smoker, a few tools and World Harbors premade marinades, it’s even easier. First, you need a smoker. I use a Masterbuilt Digital Electric Smoker. (You [...]
As promised, here’s another pomegranate recipe from the folks at POM Wonderful. This one’s a little involved, so save it for a special occasion or weekend meal. Overall, this is a very healthy dish. You can make it even healthier by substituting stevia for sugar. If you have a nut allergy, use pine nuts (which [...]
This is one Recipe Rehab episode where I’m totally in disagreement with the Holden family. Chef Jet uses too many processed foods like canned soup, prepared rice and canned fried onions for my comfort in his Chicken and Rice Casserole recipe. On the other hand, Chef Daniel prepares an elegant, one pot dish that takes [...]
I love this time of the year when you can use your grill to prepare a delicious and healthy meal with a minimum of fuss or planning. One way to do that is by grilling with healthy oils such as olive oil. Did you know that consuming just two tablespoons of olive oil daily may [...]

Plus, if you’re cooking for gluten free guests or relatives, you can be assured that you’ll be serving up a [...]
