Wild Rice Soup
My hubs has been asking for Minnesota Wild Rice Soup after Turkey Day, so I obliged, happily. I came up with a version I am really thrilled with. It’s warm and cozy in your tummy (even lightened up!) also quick and easy to make. Would you look at this! I thought I’d make a…
Almond Crackers
Your dream of a protein loaded cracker has just come true! This recipe for Almond Crackers basically has 3 ingredients, almond flour (or meal), ground flaxseed and seasonings. Essentially gluten-free if you use gluten-free ingredients. No flour at all. Great with a cheese dip, or hummus. You can add whatever flavorings suit your cravings. In…

Corned Beef…wha?…but Shelagh, you said it wasn’t a traditional food of Ireland! True that, but it’s because I’m caving a bit on that…
Irish Potstickers
Whoops, I spoke too soon, there are Irish Potstickers on ‘the’ Google. My last post of Roasted Cabbage, I made an incorrect claim, so much for trust, huh. Hmmm, maybe I spelled it wrong the first time, but none are like my recipe. Nothing Asian about these, these are just simple (although a little putsy)…
Roasted Cabbage
You must trust me by now, right? Remember yesterday in the Tea Brack post, I mentioned a bit of info we’d cover in today’s post? Well, I have some bad news. The Irish (like Irish in Ireland) don’t eat Corned Beef and Cabbage (I’m just the messenger). In a nutshell, back in the day, cows…
