I discovered a few weeks ago that the Betty Crocker Gluten Free White Cake mix makes a very nice muffin. In that case we added cinnamon to the batter and brown sugar to the top. I didn't take pictures, but I kept the idea in mind because those muffins tasted better then our regular muffins. This time, I decided to add strawberries and a strawberry glaze so that Anna's muffins mirrored exactly what Continue Reading >>
Strawberry Whole Grain Muffins with Glaze
Yesterday I pinned about twenty pinterest pics of recipes for rhubarb hoping to get inspired to use up my stash.

E-Reader Books My favorite kind of e-books are the ones I can enjoy reading on my Kindle (any e-reading Continue Reading >>
E-Product Review: NaturExplorers Books by Shining Dawn Books
When you open a NaturExplorers e-book from Shining Dawn books, you immediately notice the beautiful colors and neatly designed text. Neat text is essential to a good e-book - who wants to scroll through pages of hard-to-read information? Nevertheless, after scrolling for a few minutes and getting a glimpse of the first few notebooking pages included in this book, I printed the whole thing and Continue Reading >>
